Job 32:8
‘..But there is a spirit in man and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

• DAILY READING   Romans 14; 1 Samuel 26; Psalm 69

God gives inspiration. He gives counsel and divine wisdom. It is by His inspiration that we can excel in life. 

We have all heard about Rev. Martin Luther King’s famous speech ‘I have a dream’. It’s  been over 50 years since that historic speech was made. It is a speech that has become synonymous with the cry for freedom around the world. It has gained so much fame and global acclaim. It has often been named the greatest speech of the 20th century. Yet it is a speech that came mostly by inspiration. It was not part of the original written text,  Rev. Martin Luther had prepared to deliver on the day of  the March on Washington.  

The night before that memorable event, on 28 August 1963, Rev. Martin Luther King had asked his aides to help draw up a befitting speech. The march was going to be a historic event. Hundreds of thousands of black people from all over America, were expected to be in attendance. His aides worked tirelessly to prepare a good speech. But after a wide range of conflicting ideas over the content, King said to them “I am now going upstairs to my room to counsel with my Lord,” he told them. “I will see you all tomorrow.” 

In the morning a speech was finally put together. And when it was time for Martin Luther to deliver it, he stood before the great crowd. But as he read his well prepared speech, he found it was not making the desired impact on the crowd. A close friend of his, Gospel singer Mahalia Jackson, who was sitting behind him, noticed him struggling with the speech. She cried out “Tell ’em about the dream, Martin. Tell them about the dream!” 

At that point Rev. Martin pushed aside his prepared written text. He grabbed the podium, and took the stance of the preacher he was. He looked straight into the crowd, never looking again at his written speech. . His eyes were lit up, and his face aglow. With passion, he began to speak the words he felt God had put in his heart. ‘’I have a dream..’. 

These words would become historical. It would be celebrated as perhaps the greatest speech of the 20th century. Though Rev. king had a prepared written speech, it was rather those unwritten words, spoken by divine inspiration that flew into the pages of history.

2Peter 1:21 says ‘. but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost,’ . Words spoken by the inspiration of The Holy Ghost will always make great impacts

In Acts 4, Peter filled with The Holy Ghost, spoke before the Sanhedrin. When he finished, these learned men marveled at the speech of a mere fisherman. Indeed when it is The Lord’s doing, it will always be marvelous. When The Holy Spirit begins to relate with your spirit, He will connect you to the deep things of God, which will make you a wonder on the earth. 

I Corinthians 2:9-10 lets us know that The spirit of God searches out all things, even the deep things of God. The ‘all things’ He searches out includes intellectual things as He revealed to Daniel, technical things as He revealed to king Uzziah in II Chronicles 26:14, scientific things as He revealed to Joseph, economic things as He revealed to Abraham etc.

He gives revelations in all areas of human endeavor. He connects men to God’s fountain of divine wisdom, from where divine ideas flow. And ideas rule the world. God not only gives you an idea, He also imparts to you the wisdom to brew the idea into a profitable product that will benefit mankind. Many of the discoveries and inventions that have profited mankind has been by the inspiration of The Holy Spirit. When an idea comes from above it will stand out on the earth. That which comes from God will always be higher than that from men. In Isaiah 55 God says as far as the Heaven is from the earth, so are His ways higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts. Do you want to stand out in life? Do you need divine ideas on what next step to take? Like Rev. Martin Luther king have you discovered that your written speech, or plans are not making the desired impact? Then you need a closer walk with The Holy Ghost. He that walketh with the wise shall be wise. When you walk with God, You will operate on the frequency of Heaven’s wisdom. You will receive divine ideas that will cause you to make a mark in your world.

PRAYER: Father please help me to engage in a closer and  deeper walk with Your Spirit, so that by divine inspiration, ideas will be imparted into me that will cause me to be outstanding in my world in Jesus name.
