Did you know "Management" is another word for "Stewardship"? As part of this concept, today we would like to highlight the importance of "creativity" as part of management as well as stewardship.
Creativity is not something new. It was there from the beginning of the world. Adam was made from no preconceived design. He was created. Creativity is inherent in humans, in varying degrees. Being that we are made in the "image" or spirit of God, the ultimate creator, Creativity is our humanness, our best bet against ourselves.
When used for good, creativity helps us at home and at work. Our gifts and abilities are unique to each of us, and they reflect a God just as extraordinary.
When we have created something, don't we feel the pleasure and satisfaction of that creation? God must feel the same way, though on a much higher scale.
Today God wants us to hone and use our talents - for our use and His. Can you think of all your resources and make something beautiful out of them? Can you think of how your talent can be used by God?
God created us for a plan. Think of ways of how we can excel in that plan. He may have given us a job, or a business or a ministry and it is our duty to excel in it. We could use it to solve one of the many problems that surround us; we could use it to reduce someone's poverty, get someone a job, make life easier for a senior we may know or simply to serve in the community or church. All this apart from our job which sustains us. Creativity knows no bounds.
Going forward, let us not take our inherent creativity lightly or of no importance. It's God given and it is our duty to use it and grow it.
Exodus 35:31-32 ESV says -
And he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, with intelligence, with knowledge, and with all craftsmanship, to devise artistic designs, to work in gold and silver and bronze....
