Discovering Your Talent


There is no time to experiment with life. You are not getting younger anymore. This is the time to discover your talent and get busy with it. Every work is lucrative. It all depends on the way you handle it. God does not want you to die on that job. Understand that your job is temporal. Your talent is permanent. They can fire you from your job. But they cannot fire you from your work. Your job is the things you learn to do. Your talent is the thing you are born to do. Your job brings you a salary. Your talent brings you wealth.

A wise man once said the wealthiest place on earth is the graveyard. Buried in the graveyard were books that were never written, songs that were never heard, businesses that were never opened, ministries that were never started, and paintings that were never painted. You are about to add to the wealth of the graveyard. You have had a great business idea for the past 20 years but you are still stuck on that job waiting for your next paycheck.

The Bible says, “your young men shall see the vision, and the old men will dream.” Acts.2:17. No matter the age you are right now, it’s not too late to start all over again. Abraham caught his vision at 75; Joseph started dreaming at 17. Your age bracket notwithstanding, you can start daydreaming again. When you were a child you dreamt of becoming a doctor. There were so many great things you dreamt about. But as you grow, they began to tell you “be real” and “stop being childish”. It’s time to be childish again. In most cases, your childhood dreams are your real purpose. Your daydream is your purpose.

You are going to that job because you have to not because you want to go. The fear of people is the greatest dream killer. Most of your dreams have become nightmares just because of people’s opinions. Many of you are living by what parents, guardians, teachers, employers, spouses, and so on say that you are. The truth is that nobody knows the purpose of a product better than the manufacturer. You are God’s product, He is your manufacturer, and the Bible is your manual. If you want to know who you are, get busy studying the scripture. The secret of who you are, why you were born, and what you were born to do is with God, not your parents. You need the Holy Spirit to reveal it to you.

“When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets. ” But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the son of the living God.” Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven.” – Mathew. 15:13-18

Be nice to people because you don’t know what they are carrying. There is a vast potential inside of you which can only be activated until you discover your purpose. Don’t look for a job; look for a vision. The greatest tragedy in life is not death. It is to pass through life without discovering your talent.

Welcome to Experience God Blog. The objective of this blog is to discuss topics on practical biblical faith principles that transform people’s lives across the globe. I started my faith journey in 2014 when I gave my life to Jesus.

Over the years, I have functioned in various capacities in God’s vineyard, especially in leadership roles at the church, such as mentoring youths, overseeing various house fellowship, teenagers’ church, and performing pastoral duties. Taking up these responsibilities has empowered me with a wealth of practical faith knowledge, which I apply in my life with testimonies to match. Follow this blog, follow Jesus, and experience a life-transforming experience too by the Spirit behind the letters of His words.
