DON'T BURY IT



1 Timothy 4:14 (KJV)
Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy.

Suppose...
Suppose Shakespeare had died before he wrote his poems and play - the potential of Macbeth would have been buried. Suppose Michelangelo had died before he painted the Sistine Chapel or Da Vinci the Mona Lisa - the beauty of their paintings would have been lost. Suppose Mozart had died with all that music in his bosom.

Suppose Moses had died before he saw the burning bush. Suppose Paul had died before he met Jesus on the Damascus Road. Suppose Abraham died before Isaac was born. How different the pages of Scripture and history would be. Suppose Martin Luther had died without writing the thesis. Suppose Charles Wesley died without penning the hymns. Suppose John Wycliffe died without translating the Bible to English. How different the history of the Church might have been. 

Can you imagine how many great work of art, music and literature are buried in the graveyard? Can you imagine how many solutions to the problem we face today are buried with some one you knew? People die without getting out their full potential, creativity, skills and talent. They fail to use all that was stored in them for the benefit of this generation. 

I wonder what would have happened if your father had died before you were conceived or your mother before you were born. WHAT WILL THE WORLD HAVE LOST IF YOU HAD NOT BEEN BORN? WHAT WILL THE WORLD LACK BECAUSE YOU FAIL TO LIVE OUT YOUR POTENTIAL, TALENT, SKILLS AND CREATIVITY? Will you carry songs, books, inventions, cures, or discoveries to your grave? 

What would the world have lost if you had not been born? Some teens are committing suicide. I wonder who they were supposed to be and what they were supposed to do that we will never know. 

You are still alive and reading my words. What will you do about you? It's time for you to stop despising your self and believe in your capacity. Your limitations are not your lacks. Your limitations are your skills, talent, creativity and potential you have failed to value and nurture. 

God believes in you. It's not too talent for your to embrace your talent. There is still HOPE for you in Christ Jesus. 

Jesus loves you so much and the Holy Spirit is committed to see you operate in Excellence if only you will open your heart. 

You are great!

Shalom!

Your Talent, Your Ticket

Your talent is a tool God gave you for profiting. Without your talent, you won't be able to participate in the plan of God. Your talent is the platform by which you practice your Divine Purpose. Divine purpose without embracing and constant development of talent is furstration. Your talent is the only ticket to being relevant to your generation. This is your identity in the place of impact and value. Your talent is God's investment in you and manifesting your talent is God's opportunity to manifest His plan here on earth. Irrespective how great the plan of God is, without your talent - God plan will never be able to find expression here on earth. There is no destiny realization and fulfillment outside your talent.

YOUR TALENT IS NOT YOUR PURPOSE

Your talent is not your purpose—it is a tool for expressing it. Many times, people confuse what they are good at with what they are called to do. But talent, in itself, is not the destination; it is the vehicle. Your purpose runs deeper than your skills. It is the reason why you were born, the divine assignment behind your existence. Your talent simply gives you a platform to practice and display that assignment. For example, if you're gifted in speaking, writing, music, or leadership, those are tools—not the purpose itself. God gave them to you so that through them, His plan for your life can find expression. Your calling is what gives your talent direction. Without purpose, talent becomes noise—loud, impressive, but lacking eternal impact. I had to learn that being talented doesn't mean I'm automatically walking in purpose. Purpose requires understanding, alignment, and surrender. Talent without purpose can make you famous, but talent aligned with purpose will make you fu...
