The scripture says a man's gift makes room for him and brings him before great men.
"A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men." ~ Proverbs 18:16 (KJV)
'Man' here refers to man and woman (mankind). 'Gift' in this scripture refers to presents or offerings. 'Maketh room' refers to being widened and being enlarged. 'Bringeth him before great men' refers to guidance that will literally place you before the face of great men.
Don't think of money or material things here. Your gift is a present or an offering; it is non-specific in this scripture and can be anything that you have to offer. Your gift is your sacrifice. My sacrifices are my God-given talents because these are what I have to give. The scripture is literally saying that your presents, offerings or sacrifices enlarge you and guide you so that you will go before the face of great men.
God Bless You!
