Message
God in His infinite wisdom has given every man abilities that will make him function according to His plan and purpose. We are all unique, having special skills and abilities, whether to write, sing, create, talk, or lead. In every individual lies great but may be untapped abilities which he or she will need to discover, develop and deploy for specific purposes in life to the glory of God. The discovery and use of every gift or ability helps one to live a fulfilled life.
Friend, have you discovered your gifts? A writer named Leo Buscaglia said, “Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.” One of the greatest honours you can give to God is to use the ability He has given to you to bring joy to His heart and be a blessing to humanity. Pray and look inward to discover your abilities; rise and roar like a mighty lion as the world is waiting to hear you. You will manifest His glory when you discover and use your gifts.
