OUR DEEPEST FEAR IS
NOT THAT WE ARE INADEQUATE BUT THAT WE ARE TOO POWERFUL BEYOND MEASURE.IT IS
OUR LIGHT AND NOT DARKNESS THAT MOST FRIGHTENS US.

Until those skills/qualities of ours are put in
proper alignments, we will not seize to operate as mediocre. This is because; “the
labor of fools wears them out, just because they cannot find their way to the
city”. There is a city for every man who has discovered himself. This is called the MARKET PLACE. At the point of
specialization, only one skill is allowed to triumph. This is our main skill
especially that , which we love doing. Does that make all other skills acquired
irrelevant? Absolutely Not! Other skills and qualities possessed are expected
to complement the effort of our main skill as supports if we must be
outstanding in any of our endeavors.Versatility without a proper control kills identity. It is not something worth celebrating when someone tells you that, you are good in many things. It kills excellence in a man. It is an ideology of people of lower mindset. Because we have others that are good in many things as well. Rather, celebrate uniqueness and specialization.
This is what makes you different
from others. The fact that you can write does not make you a good writer and
the fact that you play football always, doesn’t in any way make you a Lionel Messi. You just have to be
outstanding at what you do. A genius is not just that young boy in our physics room , but everyone who has identified what he can do best and also doing it uniquely including a cobbler/fashion designer on my street.This applies to all other gifts and talents of a
man. By nature and design, an average man possesses more than a single talent. These
gifts are in their raw form at birth. Some can talk, consult,write, design, teach,
sing, train,dance, organize etc, but the one that is put under training, development,
and constant practice out of these gifts, is what becomes your area of specialization
and that will bring food on your table in the long run. Some ladies are best at
trading. Yet, they are forwarding resumes around offices. It leaves me with no option but to just laugh.
And specialization does not come
until you have been through trainings, lectures etc. You need a mentor, both far
and near including the reading of quality books (including the Holy Bible) that
are relevant to your gifts, talents and general endeavors. By so doing, you
would have been able to harness your various gifts and talents in proper
alignments. Then, what you are really called to do will surface and fulfillment
will follow automatically.
HOW DO YOU KNOW YOUR AREA OF SPECIALIZATION?
Out of many things you love
doing, which of them do you derive most pleasure? What can you render free of charge
(Even though, you are not expected to be a Santa Claus except in a Christmas
season) or the one that people commend you most? Who knows? This might just be
what you are called to do. I am not saying challenges will not show up while
trying to sail your way through, but I can guarantee you safety in the end.
Go in it with absolute faith in
God. Because as many of them that embarked on the journey without faith in Him returned back with evil report. And before you know it, you may just appear on Forbes list of icons. God bless
you.Jesus is Lord. pls share this with loved ones if you were truly touched. Thanks.
Remember, it wasn’t
their failure that increased their burden in Egypt but their success.
