It is written, “And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. “ in Swahili:
“Akampa mmoja talanta tano, na mmoja talanta mbili, na mmoja talanta moja; kila mtu kwa kadiri ya uwezo wake; akasafiri. (Matthew 25:15).”
There is an endowment inside every one, called a gift or a talent, God has given something to everyone to occupy his place on the earth. Some have five, two, or just one, but everyone has something.
A discovery of divine endowment is a very great avenue for locating your purpose. Very many Christians are yet to fulfil their destinies because they have not discovered their divine endowment. In case you have waited to hear from God and have not, then know that you can make a discovery of your gift from within, by yourself.
Some of the questions to ask that will help you uncover your potentials are: “What do I do effortlessly? What do I do with great excitement? What do I do that gives me fulfilment? What am I productive at?” The answers to these questions are pointers to the gift of God on your inside. It is lamentable that many people are doing what they are neither gifted at, nor graced for.
Please note that the underlying factor in a call from God into ministry is grace. You may not be originally gifted in the area of ministry He has called you to, but He will always back you up with grace to perform.
For instance, it was grace that enabled Moses to fulfil his life assignment. He was a stammerer yet God gave him the job of an orator. How was he going to carry out his assignment? GRACE.
This is the major difference between the first and second avenues of obtaining a vision — that is, hearing from God and self-discovery. To succeed at the former you need grace; to succeed at the latter you need your gift.
HALELUJAH, PRAISE BE UNTO THE ALMIGHTY GOD.
