0:39 Gifta International. Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John GIFTA. Hey,

0:53 are you feeling like, Oh my goodness, John, I'm just a nobody.

0:57 I don't have anything special about me. I don't have any special characteristics

1:00 that I'm proud of. I have all these weakness, I have all these

1:03 shortcomings. John, Look at all these perfect people on social media, these

1:08 influencers, these people in the entertainment industry, the media industry, the advertisement

1:15 industry. Look at how pitch or perfect they are, or look at how

1:18 they seem so nice and their life seems to be like the best dream life

1:23 that anyone can dream about. What I want you guys to understand is you're

1:26 not just living life on your own. You're not just here by accident.

1:30 You're here because God formed you and he created you for such a time as

1:36 this. You're here for a purpose. You're here because God said, you

1:40 know what, I need to create this person. I need to create you.

1:44 And that's the reason God created you. You're not just here because your

1:47 pains decided to get together. You're here by the plan of God. You're

1:51 here because God as a plan and the purpose that is specifically designed just for

1:56 you. Now, I want to just start off by sharing a script and

2:00 I want to just encourage you with regard to the same when you look at

2:02 Deutronomy chapter seven, verse six, and that I'm reading from the Nlthy version,

2:07 and this is what it says for you are a holy people who belong

2:12 to the Lord your God. And listen to what it says. Of all

2:15 the people on earth, the Lord your God has chosen you to be his

2:20 own special treasure. Of all the people on earth, God has chosen you.

2:24 This is what the Lord is saying. Listen, there are so many

2:28 people out there, but there are so many who are lost, and we

2:31 need to pray and ensure that they get into the Fold of Salvation. But

2:36 it's not by accident that you're listening to this. It's not by accident that

2:39 you're in the Fold of Salvation. It's not by accident that God has make

2:44 sure that you're listening to this word being in the place where you receive the

2:49 word of the Living God. For all the people, God has chosen you.

2:53 And I want you to just think about this. When somebody is choosing

2:57 something for our team. Right when you say a sports team is being formed

3:01 in your school or in your college, or in your workplace, what did

3:05 they do. They're not going to just say, hey, you know what,

3:07 you seem to be having the highest qualification, let me choose you.

3:13 Or you look very attractive, let me choose you. Oh, you look

3:16 like the most handsome person, the most cute person, or something like that.

3:22 They don't going to choose somebody just because of that. They don't going

3:24 to choose somebody because they have hard working They're going to choose someone who's qualifying

3:30 to be in the sports team, somebody who has the gift or the hour,

3:35 quite athletic, who have the stamina, who are able to have that

3:38 ability to perform well in that sports team. Same thing. What I want

3:43 you to understand is, in the case of music, they're not going to

3:46 choose somebody just because they have a high position. If they're not talented,

3:51 They're going to choose someone who's able to fit in the role that they are

3:53 looking for. What I want you to understand is if people are so careful

3:59 in choosing someone really valuable for that team, how much more you need to

4:03 understand? You are valuable, which is the only reason why God choose you.

4:09 God didn't choose you because he didn't have anyone else. He chose you

4:13 because you have what it takes to fulfill His purpose for your life. What

4:17 I want you to understand is, don't let Hollywood or Pollywood define who you

4:21 are. Your value does not come from Hollywood or Pollywood. Your value comes

4:28 from the one who died for you on a piece of wood and Jesus Christ,

4:30 God is saying this word of encouragement to you. Remember if a sports

4:36 team is formed with the most valuable members. I want you to understand,

4:42 if God, the creator of the universe, the one who spoke the worlds

4:46 into existence, if the One Greater Almighty God is saying I chose you.

4:51 That shows how valuable you are. Every single individual in a sports team,

4:58 every single member of a music grew they're chosen why because they have what it

5:03 takes to play that role. They're chosen because they have that gift, they

5:09 have that talent, they have what it takes. They are valuable and an

5:14 asset to that particular team. If that's the case, I want you to

5:17 look at yourself that way. If that's the case, If God has chosen

5:21 you, that shows you're not stupid, You're not dumb, You're not just

5:27 nobody. If God has chosen you, it means you are going to bring

5:31 value to the table. It means God has something in deposited in you which

5:35 is going to make the team do better. It's going to make the entire

5:42 sport, even or whatever they're doing, come out really well because that is

5:46 what God is placed in you. So today, I want you to be

5:48 encouraged today. No matter what people say, no matter what the reality looks

5:53 like, understand this important truth. You're not here by accident. You're here

5:58 by the divine plan of God. And God is saying I chose you.

6:01 I have the one who decide you I have sent everything in your life.

6:05 Just know that He's going to make sure that He's going to bring something beautiful

6:11 in and through your life. Not I pray in the name of Jesus for

6:14 those who feel like they're just a nobody. They feel like they don't have

6:17 much to offer. I pray that this world will encourage them, strengthen them,

6:21 and help them know that you have a plan set out for them.

6:26 You have something awesome in their life. In Jesus name, I pray A
