Maximise your uniqueness
1 – “Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Shochoh, which belongeth to Judah, and pitched between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim.
2 – And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
3 – And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
4 – And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
5 – And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.
6 – And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders.
7 – And the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him.
8 – And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me.
9 – If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us.
10 – And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
11 – When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.” (1Samuel chapter 17 verses 1 to 11)
Created in God’s image after His likeness was the greatest gift God ever gave man at creation
Everyone is designed, fashioned, created and made unique. We are all fearfully and wonderfully made by God Almighty. Everything that God have ever created and made are all beautiful. Everything was created at its state of perfection. God being a great God cannot create anything less than than perfection. God made all things beautiful.
God made us perfect in His class that we are like Him here on earth to exercise the same functionality like Him. Created in God’s image after His likeness was the greatest gift God ever gave man at creation. God did not withhold anything about Himself creating humanity. You are unique so is everyone. It is an individual’s responsibility to put one’s uniqueness to work.
If one did not take responsibility of his or her uniqueness, nothing significant will happen
That we are created unique is enough in God’s perspective, but it is never enough when one fails to stir and deploy his or her uniqueness to cause transformation. If one did not take responsibility of his or her uniqueness, nothing significant will happen. If one fails to take charge of his or her uniqueness, things will continue at the state of chaos.
There was a curse in the land, no one was found ready to deploy his uniqueness. Everyone was looking at the circumstances surrounding the whole places and never looked inward to stir up their uniqueness to handle the course at hand. But there was a boy, with a heart of shepherd who understands his uniqueness, and understood that it is an opportunity for him to deploy his uniqueness for total liberation.
David understood his uniqueness which is the giant killer
It does not matter where you came from, you are unique. If you can discover that, you can recover all. For the reason things are not working towards your direction does not make you inferior, it only means you have a lot to deliver because a lot is deposited in you. You are unique. All you have to do is to work and demonstrate your uniqueness.
David understood his uniqueness which is the giant killer. When it comes to facing the giant and conquering the giant, he is skillful at that. This is one game he is conversant with and no one can teach him how to go about it. Handling the giant is one thing he has lived his life, doing and he is eager to display such now an opportunity has called for it. He can’t let this moment to pass him by. If he does not handle it, it will make him look inferior.
34 – And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:
35 – And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
36 – Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.” (1Samuel chapter 17 verses 34 to 36)
Conclusion:
You are unique. To hide behind the crowd does not define uniqueness. It only defines your inferiority. Following the crowd can only succeed to make you a mediocre. Get off the crowd, discover your uniqueness and get the best of your life.
