BEFORE HIS DEPOSIT

BEFORE HIS DEPOSIT
Preparing the Vessel for What God Wants to Entrust
What happens before God places something significant into a person's hands?
Before greater authority comes greater responsibility. Before greater influence comes greater character. Before greater power comes deeper submission. Before God entrusts a greater deposit, He often prepares the vessel that will carry it.
In Before His Deposit, Monday Oshili explores the spiritual preparation that must take place before and after God entrusts a person with gifts, influence, authority, resources, revelation, opportunities, or ministry responsibility.
Drawing from Scripture and practical spiritual lessons, this book examines the importance of intimacy with God, faithfulness, stewardship, submission, obedience, character, spiritual discernment, preparation, and responsible use of divine gifts. It also explores the life and ministry of Jesus Christ as the perfect pattern of authority operating under submission to the Father.
The central message is simple but profound: the deposit must never become more important than the Depositor.
God is not merely interested in what He can put into your hands. He is concerned about the kind of vessel you will become while carrying it.
If you are asking God for greater authority, influence, power, resources, opportunity, or responsibility, this book will challenge you to ask a deeper question:
"Lord, am I prepared to carry what I am asking You to give me?"
Before His Deposit is a call to pursue God before pursuing His gifts, to develop character before seeking influence, to embrace preparation before demanding promotion, and to remain close to the Depositor before, during, and after receiving the deposit.
Because the greatest treasure is not what God puts into your hands. It is God Himself.
