The biggest companies in history have always had an edge by inventing something new. Apple revolutionized personal technology, Tesla redefined transportation, and Meta changed the way people connect. These companies did not just copy what existed; they created something fresh. If Nigerians and West Africans want to compete globally, they must embrace this mindset—building companies on invention, not imitation. The good news is that true innovation comes from the realm of the spirit. As people who are spiritually alive, we have access to the mind of God. If we seek Him, He will reveal new ideas that can change the world.
Creativity and spiritual gifts are not just for personal fulfillment—they are given for the common good and to bring increase. As 1 Corinthians 12:7 reminds us, “To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.” Every breakthrough in science, technology, and innovation has come through minds tuned in to divine wisdom. From the electric bulb to the internet, great advancements have shaped the world because someone dared to think beyond the ordinary. It is time to fully embrace your creativity and spiritual gifts, not just to survive, but to build, innovate, and transform society.
This is the time to be bold, not timid. The world needs fresh ideas that will reshape industries, and God is more than willing to supply them. James 1:5 tells us that if anyone lacks wisdom, they should ask God, who gives generously. Trust Him to flood your heart with divine insights and witty inventions. Even if you start small—innovating in your current business or skill—every step counts. The Holy Spirit can reveal shortcuts, inspire efficiency, and open your eyes to groundbreaking possibilities. Now is the time to step out in faith, create, and unleash the inventions within you.
