FORCES OF DESTINY - PART 12: TALENT! First Id like to establish that the day you became born again, you became a product of the kingdom of God. You were translated from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of God. The bible validates these statements in Matt 6:33, Rom 12:2 and many other scriptures. If you must live as a Christian then you must first seek Gods kingdom; do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by renewing your mind by Gods kingdom principles. As a product of the kingdom, youre not suppose to live any way you like, no! Youre suppose to live according to kingdom principles. Many people are living as servants and employees of labor, many others are merely earning a living for themselves. Ofcourse, God wants us to earn a living, He wants us to be employed, but His heart cry is that we make a fortune (Read Part 10 of this series for details). Earning a living for yourself will place a limit on the number of people that will glorify God through you; but when you make a fortune, people will sing praises to God when they sight your presence. Your salary is not enough to make you a fortune, there is something God has endowed into you that will make a fortune for you - and that is TALENT. Jesus describes what the kingdom of God is like in Matt 25:14-30; For the kingdom of heaven is AS a man traveling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. You see, until you subscribe to using your talent you may remain a servant. Your talent is Gods bail-out plan from the cage of poverty. According to those scriptures; A master called his servants and gave them his treasures, he gave the first 3 talents, he gave the second 2 talents, and then the third - he gave 1 talent. The first and the second traded with their talents, and the master was excited with their hard work and promised to give them greater things. But the one with one talent said his master likes to reap where he did not sow, and for that reason he buried the talent. The master got upset and took back the one talent and gave to the one that now had 10 talents. I pray that youd not loose what belongs to you to another person! If you observe those verses carefully, youd notice that the master didnt take back his talents from the first two servants, instead he promised to give them greater things. That means they were promoted from servants to partners. You cant afford to be serving people forever, people are waiting to serve you too! Take time out to discover your talent and develop it into applicable skills. The fact that youre passionate about singing doesnt make you a musician, you need to train your singing ability by absorbing necessary informations and skills. Nobody pays to watch talent that is undeveloped, they pay to watch skills. Their master came to reconcile the account when he returned; Im fully persuaded that God will ask you what you did with your talent(s)! Finally, God is not a waster or a problem creator. He didnt create you to start looking for employment - knowing that there is no employment anywhere. He created you to solve the employment problem. God is not just rating you based on the number of converts you win, He is more interested in the passion with which you use the wisdom and skills he has given to you. Im so passionate about enlightening people, and I bless God for giving me a talent of writing and speaking. When you become very passionate about something, it simply means you have the talent to work it out! Within your passion is your talent! Remember! A man is rated according to his applied talent or skills! I think I should stop here! May God give us understanding! Inspired By: The Holy Spirit
