Romans 12:6 teaches that we all have different gifts, and we are to use them according to the faith we have developed within. If your gift is creativity, then you must create boldly, in faith. You may not know the full impact of what you are building or expressing today, but if you stay faithful, your work can go far beyond your imagination. The things you invent or create can outlive you. They can become blessings to people you will never meet. Your only responsibility is to create in proportion to your faith. God handles the results.
Consider the story of Chinua Achebe, who wrote Things Fall Apart, a novel that is still touching lives decades after his death. Or look at Skales, a Nigerian artist whose 2014 song “Shake Body” went viral again after a decade when Barcelona footballer Lamine Yamal danced to it on TikTok. One of those videos got over 120 million views. The sudden revival led to one million Spotify listeners, sold-out shows across Europe, and even an invitation to watch a football final alongside Barcelona’s players. Ten years after releasing the song, Skales’ career found a fresh wind. Surely sounds like something only God could orchestrate.
This teaches us something important: never underestimate what your work can become. What you do today may seem small or ordinary, but when God breathes on it, it can go around the world. So write that book. Start that business. Make that song. Build that product. You never know how far it can go. You just need to create with faith, trusting that God will multiply the fruit in His own time. Don’t bury your gift, activate it and release it into the world. The future impact is not your responsibility; obedience is.
