Most people suffer their major heart attack on
Mondays between 8am and 9am because they have to go to a job they don’t like
and as such they are dying gradually. There are some set of people whose slang
on Fridays is – TGIF. This ought not to be. One of the most neglected areas in
many lives is the area of gifts that God has placed within them.
In Matt 25, we all know the story of the talents.
Bible says and unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another
one; to every man according to his several abilities. The one that got five
traded with his and make 100% ROI, so also the one that got two talents, but
the one that got one hid his own and as such, what he had was taken from him
and he was cast away.
When we get to heaven, you won’t be asked how much
you made for your employer, rather, how did you use the talents/gifts God
deposited in you? It is so amazing how so many of us devote our entire lives to
a field of endeavor or profession that has nothing to do with our inborn
talents. Someone said that if you don’t do your own dream, someone else would
employ you to do theirs – which is the case with most of us. We spend our days
helping others reach their goals while abandoning ours.
There are people waiting to be affected by what God
has deposited in you. Don’t allow any man take over the driver’s seat of your
destiny. Don’t die an unlived life. Live a mark. Sir, Prov 18:16 says, “A man's
gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.” Facebook is a
household name everywhere because Mark Zuckerberg did his dream. Choose today
to exercise your unique, God-given, God-ordained talents. Salaries would make
you rich; talents would make you wealthy and great. Be wise!
I look forward to seeing you at the next annual
world CEOs forum.
