Innovative Women A By Stephanie L. McKenny s women, God has so strategically designed our natural body that we have the creative ability to receive a seed, nurture it and watch it grow and expand within us. We have the ability to receive, to develop and we have the ability to birth. By nature, we are innovators. One of the definitions of the word “innovation” is a new idea. We are filled with new ideas; because of our natural ability to conceive, often times new ideas will come to us with ease. These ideas, concepts and/or vision are not something that is meant to stay within us or to be taken to the grave, but these ideas are given to us for a divine purpose. The ideas are given to us with the purpose of us taking our nurturing ability to birth it into existence. The very idea, concept or vision is needed in the earth realm so God places it in you so that you can usher it into this world for others to experience. There are some things you need to be mindful of as you usher this new idea into existence: WRITE IT DOWN Some many times people get new ideas and concepts in their head, but fail to write it down. Then when it’s time to move forward with your idea, you don’t know all of the parts to the puzzle because you didn’t write it down. The scriptures tell us in Habakkuk 2 to write the vision and make it plain. You must have a plan in place of how all of this is going to happen. YOUR CONNECTIONS Be mindful of the people you are connected with because these are the people who will influence the flow or lack thereof concerning your ideas, concepts or vision. Yes, you have the idea and the ability to birth it forth, but sometimes our connections can hinder them. Stick around those who believe in you and what you are trying to accomplish. TIMING The scriptures tell us that God does everything beautiful in His time. It is so important to know the timing of God and when He wants your idea/vision to birth. You don’t want to have a premature birthing nor do you want to be overdue. Seek the face of God and get clear direction from Him as to when you should move forth. Ask Him when is your 4 DEVINE GLORY MAGAZINE day of delivery for this great idea because you can have a great idea, but do it in the wrong timing. YOUR WORDS Your words are powerful. Your words carry creative ability. Even after the new idea is given, you must use your words to speak life to it. Death and life are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). You can set the atmosphere to cause your idea, concept or vision to come to pass by the words you speak out of your own mouth. PERSISTENCE If you want to accomplish anything in life, you must first take the initiative and then you must become persistent at what you do. There may be some people that will say you can’t do it, but you’ve got to keep pressing until you see your idea, concept and/or vision come to pass. Be persistent in your endeavors and don’t accept “no” for answer so easily. Remember, you have what it takes in you to get the job done. Your life has significance because God designed it that way. Act on what He has given you and see the idea, concept, vision reach existence.
