He Makes You Creative And Innovative
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus
unto good works, which God hath before ordained
that we should walk in them (Ephesians 2:10)
One of the beautiful and amazing benefits of
having the Holy Spirit in your life is that He
makes you creative and innovative. He opens your
eyes to see what others don’t see, and your ears to
hear what others don’t hear. He anoints your eyes to
see the right things, and your mind to understand and
conceive lofty ideas.
This brings to mind the famous words of
Michelangelo, the great artist. He said, “I saw the angel
in the marble and carved until I set him free.” He saw
what he could get out of an ordinary piece of marble,
which everyone else thought was just a stone with no
value. From that same stone, he went ahead to create
the famous statue of David.
You’re born of the Master Craftsman, and that
makes you a master craftsman yourself. This means
you can see value where others don’t. You can have
creative and innovative ideas; you can bring new things
into this world. That’s the nature God has given you,
because you’re His workmanship, His product. Some
Christians would say about themselves, “I never have
any ideas; I’m not creative” That’s wrong Never talk
like that.
God created you in His image and in His likeness
(Genesis 1:26), which means He made you to look like
Him, and to function like Him, and He’s a creator. He
can bring something out of previously non-existent
materials. God doesn’t need to look outside of Himself
for the materials with which to create anything because
all He requires is inside Him. Likewise, you can bring
something out of nothing. The power is within you
through the Holy Spirit.
Your creative abilities aren’t limited to what your
mind can imagine. You have insight into mysteries
and secrets through the Holy Spirit. You have access
to divine wisdom. Your mind has been anointed to
see further and deeper than that of the ordinary man.
Therefore, you should always look inwards for fresh
and innovative ideas for your work, and those around
you will marvel at the excellence with which you do
the things you do.
Confession

good works. I’m excellent and sound, fruitful and productive
in every good work. I’m bearing fruits of righteousness,
pleasng the Father in all things. My life is for the glory of God.
Hallelujah!
