The realm of creativity 2



“I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.”

Proverbs 8:12

You can go farther than where you are now if you can learn to relate with the Holy Spirit. He will give you the answers and solutions to the problems in the world today.

For instance, the polio vaccine was invented by a Christian known as Jonas Salk in 1952. What about George Washington Carver? He was also a Christian and his discoveries were not based on experimentation. He understood that creativity was from the Spirit. When Thomas Edison met him and wanted to employ him, he requested for one thing that must always be in the lab. That thing was his Bible. Why did Thomas Edison decide to employ him? It was because George Washington Carver was inventing things that no one could have thought of. He got his creative ideas by talking to God, and the wisdom of God.

George Washington Carver by the help of the Holy Spirit was able to make important agricultural inventions. He invented over 300 products from the peanut alone; from peanuts he made foods like pancake flour, chili sauce, instant coffee, mayonnaise, cooking oil, etc. From peanuts, he made stock foods like hen food for laying, peanut meal, etc. From peanuts he also made household products like laundry soap, etc. From peanuts he made beverages like beverage for ice cream, blackberry punch, etc. Other products he invented from peanuts were medicines like emulsion for bronchitis, goiter treatment, quinine, laxatives, etc. Some others were cosmetics like shampoo, face powder, antiseptic soap, all purpose cream, pomade for scalp, dyes for leather, dyes for cloths, paints, insecticide, glue, rubber, shoe and leather blacking, washing powder, etc. were all made from the same peanut.

Prayer

Dear Father, I ask that you open my mind for creativity in my field so that I can bring solutions to the problems in my world for your praise and glory, in Jesus Name, Amen.

For further study read:

Exodus 31:3-6, Exodus 35:30-35, 1 Kings 7:14.

Doing the Word

Before you embark on any project, ask the Holy Spirit to show you how to do it in a way it has never been done before.
