BORN NAKED BUT NOT EMPTY - Understanding the Power and Principle of Talents (Part 2)

The fact that all men were born with a great deposit of God grace (talents) inside them is no longer an issue. However, what might be the issue is that many of us allow these giftings to waste. So I'll to share with you what I call The 3 D's of Talents.

1. DISCOBVER YOUR TALENTS

When Hellen Keller (a blind woman) was asked what could be worse than blindness, she replied, "Having sight but been able not to see." There is still something worse than physical blindness. It is for a man to have both eyes and yet be in total blindness to who is and what he has. Just a few hours back I had the priviledge of talking with one of my mentors and a few other guys. It is amazing how we (young people) waste our precious lives away waitng to secure a job that is not there, while there are precious talents wasting away inside us. I can tell you that these talents are not only capable of giving us a better life but also helping us create jobs and emplyment opportunities for other people. But instead of us looking inwards to see what we have inside us, we are busy blaming a government that is not even ready to listen to us.

Guys, there are great talents inside you, that are capable of making you great. But, it starts with discovery. Until you discover who you are, you might not be able to recover fully your destiny. To live the life that God has designed for you to live, you must be able to first discover what he has placed inside you. Don't take the amazing talent for cooking that's in you for granted; it might be what you need to start a brand new eatery. Don't take that ability to make people laugh for granted; you could be the next celebrity comedian. Your ability to teach people could be the seed for a great school that is yet to start. Too many of us covet other people's talents while we neglect our own. We often wish that we are able to do what someone else is doing. Whereas if you could search your inside very well, you will discover that there is a unique grace you also possess It might not look like it but it is the hit thing. Don't neglect the grace of God that is inside you.

This is the first of the three d's of talents. Ruminate over this until I come your way again tomorrow. Until then, stay blessed.
