Gift Control

It’s great to encourage people, offer hope, love, purpose. It’s not great to make them dependent on you. Release the gift inside them don’t hold them hostage in your gifting.

Many extremely gifted people have a problem with their gift. They will often times use their giftedness to control and hold others hostage. What I mean by this is, they will help others by using their gift, but in doing so, they cause them to be dependent on them. There is nothing wrong with operating in your gifted area and helping others. However, there is something wrong when you do it with the wrong motive or your own agenda. Use your gift today, but don’t have a selfish mindset. Help others, but do it without an agenda of your own. Let those go that you are holding hostage by enabling their needs. Your gift will meet your needs as well. Are there people that you controlling today? Do you need to let go of your agenda and motives?
