*ENDUED WITH SPECIAL ABILITIES*

_(Don’t Compare Yourself With Someone Else)_

*TO THE BIBLE:*
*Ephesians 4:7*
_“But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.”_

*LET’S TALK*

*“Do you ever feel like you’re just… ordinary?”* Khloe asked, frowning.

*“Ordinary? Not at all,”* replied Johnny. *“God has put special abilities in you that no one else can express the way only you can.”*

Khloe looked puzzled: *“Special abilities? Me? I’ve never really thought of myself that way.”*

*“That’s exactly why you need to hear this,”* Johnny said with a smile. *“No one was ever like you; no one is like you, and no one will ever be like you. You’re the only one of you that God has. So, be the best of you.”*

The Living Bible translation renders our opening scripture this way: *“However, Christ has given each of us special abilities; whatever He wants us to have out of His rich storehouse of gifts.”* I like that term, *“special abilities,”* for it lets us know that there’s not a single one of God’s children that’s lacking in ability. You may never have thought about the fact that God has given you special abilities, but let it dawn on you today that there are special abilities in you which came into your life when you were born again and received the Holy Spirit.

The Bible says, *“But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you”* (Acts 1:8 AMP). What you need do is recognise and agree with what the Word says; tell yourself, *“God has given me special abilities, and I’m putting these abilities to work in my life.”*

Remember that God doesn’t have a duplicate of you; He’s deposited in you gifts and abilities that set you apart and make you unique. What a wonderful blessing! You can express the beauty of God from your spirit in a way that no one else can. So, next time you feel like you’re just *“another face in the crowd”* at school or on social media, remember: God made you with a one-of-a-kind mix of abilities that no one else has. Stop comparing your story to someone else’s story!

Never look at yourself and think there’s nothing special about you. God has given you special abilities, and it’s up to you to let them show and make an impact in the Kingdom of God.

*GO DEEPER*

*2 Corinthians 4:7* But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

*2 Corinthians 3:5 AMP* Not that we are fit (qualified and sufficient in ability) of ourselves to form personal judgments or to claim or count anything as coming from us, but our power and ability and sufficiency are from God.

*PRAY*

_I thank you, Father, for depositing within my spirit special abilities according to the measure of the gift of Christ. No task or endeavour is beyond me, for I have in me the grace and supernatural ability I require for every task, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._

*DAILY BIBLE READING*

*ONE YEAR*
Ephesians 2:11-22, Hosea 3-6

*TWO YEAR*
John 1:1-13, 2 Samuel 23-24

*ACT*
Write down one thing you’re naturally good at. Now thank God for it and say: *“Lord, I’m using this for your Kingdom.”*

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6TH 2025 LET THE GOSPEL BE YOUR PASSION For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God to save, heal, deliver and transform lives. That’s why it must be a message you understand, live by, and burn with passion to share with others especially as the coming of the Lord draws nearer than we’ve ever known. Paul the Apostle declared that he was not ashamed of the Gospel. That statement came from a place of deep conviction and unwavering commitment. For him, preaching the Gospel wasn’t optional but life itself. He lived for the Gospel and was willing to die for its advancement. Read His inspiring and heart-stirring words in Acts 20:22-27, “And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying ...

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

  SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16TH 2025 THE KINGDOM, THE FIELD, AND THE SEED Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field (Matthew 13:24). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Lord Jesus, in His remarkable teachings about the Kingdom, used parables to unveil profound truths. One of such examples is the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew 13. He said, "...the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field" (Matthew 13:24). That "man" is the Lord Himself, while the "good seed" represents the children of the Kingdom. The "field," as He later explained, is the world. This is extraordinary. The Lord sowed good seed, not in someone else's field, but in His own field. That tells you the world is His field and part of His Kingdom. It belongs to Him. No matter what we see in the world today, no matter how polluted it appears, the field still b...
