DEPLOY YOUR POTENTIALS

SCRIPTURE: I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. – 2 Timothy 4:7-8

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You are not permitted to die loaded; you are only permitted to die empty.

I heard a story of a renowned keyboardist, an expert who was about 60 years old. He entered his room one day and saw a stranger, a man, on his keyboard playing tunes (heavenly tunes) he had never heard before, so excellently. He was amazed and as the man was playing, he began to weep. When he finished playing, the keyboardist went closer to him and said, “Please, who are you? Can you please tell me what you are doing?” The man said, “I came to show you the man you were meant to be, and the music you were meant to play.”

He looked at himself and began to weep. All of a sudden, the stranger disappeared. The Keyboardist began to wonder where to start from at 60. He said to himself, “So you mean that all the accolades I got from people is nothing compared to what God had in mind for me?” Then he realized that in the eyes of people, he had been celebrated but in the eyes of Heaven, he was not yet there.

So, it is not everyone celebrated on earth today that has recognition in Heaven.

Beloved, the greatest tragedy on earth is to appear in Heaven and realize that you did not do what you were created to do or that you missed the mark.

So, you are not permitted to die loaded; you are only permitted to die empty.

Remember this: you are not permitted to die loaded; you are only permitted to die empty.
