So many of us
have discovered their gifts but putting it to work has been a problem. Whenever
a child takes a first step in life, it's always a thing of joy. The reason is
that fear is attached to first step. So, for a child to dare and conquer the
fear, he or she has done a great thing. Likewise in life endeavours, one of the
hardest things to do in life is to take the first step. It may look and sound
very simple but it's very difficult to do. Many of us know exactly what God
created them to be and do but to start has remained a big problem. There's
always a "GOOD" reason not to start. Some will say it's not yet time
to start. Time has not “ripped”. Some even usually say that they are waiting
for money to start it “big”. They will say, “Ego ji olu. Once money is in
abundance, the job is as good as done”. My mentor Ifeanyi AC Eze, once told me
that God will always sponsor His vision and the statement changed my mind set
about vision and money/provision to start. When you start with the little you
have, God will send
helpers of destiny, as long as your vision is from God.
There's always a 'VERY GOOD" reason to
procrastinate and wait for a PERFECT time. Today, there are truths you must
know about Mr. PROCRASTINATION and Mr. PERFECT time. Mr. Procrastination is a thief of time and
failure's most brilliant and best strategy. Mr. PERFECT time does not exist
anywhere in the world. If you continue to wait for the perfect time to do
something, you may wait till eternity and continue waiting. What you need to
work with is Mr. Best time and the best time is NOW! Discovery is not enough!
Knowing your gift/talent/creative ability is not enough! Living your
gift/talent/creative ability is the most important. Have you discovered why
you're here on earth? If yes, what are you doing about it? What are you still
waiting for? Last year, you postponed your starting to this year. Last month
your procrastination extended to this month. Last week you postponed it to this
week. Just yesterday, you postponed your starting to tomorrow and that tomorrow
is here as today, what next? There can never be a perfect time to do anything
worth doing. The only time you need to start whatever you want to do in life is
NOW and that is the best time.
You have a gift
of singing, fine! You're gifted in writing, beautiful! Your gift of craft is
next to none, wonderful! You've a creative ability but the big question is,
what are you doing with it? Who is feeling the glory of God through you? Why
are you keeping the world waiting or don't you know that you're a messenger?
God sent you on an errand to touch and impact the world but you keep coming up
with excuses. Have you forgotten the parable of the talent so quick? The
problem of the servant that buried his talent wasn't discovery but
multiplication. He had his talent with him but made a decision to bury it
instead of putting it to work. Before you condemn the servant, make sure that
you're not doing the same. So many people have unconsciously buried their
talents! Where's your talent/gift? Why are you here on earth? Are you living a
life of purpose? What is your vision? If the Master calls today, how would your
report look like? Will you confidently walk up to him with your multiplied
talents or will you reluctantly present your report full of excuses? I've come
to announce to you today that discovery is not just enough. Put your
talent/gift/creative ability to work so that people can have a feel of it. Let
the world feel the glory of God through you. Deliver the message you are sent
to deliver. The world is waiting and you can't afford to disappoint God! Tomorrow
never ends but today matters the most! Discovery is not
enough, step out today and make that first step NOW!
