YOUR PROBLEM IS THAT YOU ARE MULTI-TALENTED
October 4, 2018
There's more power in your self than you imagined. Be ready to explore.
One of the many compliments people often give me is “Oh, you’re so multi-talented”.
I never realise this was a problem until a few years ago when God began to speak to me about it.
Being multi-talented can be a problem if you do not realise the difference between your gifts and calling.
Many people have gifts but because they do not know their calling/purpose, they mortgage their gifts for survival which leads to all forms of stress and frustration.
In the bid to develop all their gifts, they lose track of the ones they should prioritise for the purpose of their calling. As a result, like the “Jack of all trades”, they are eventually master of none! Their many gifts amount to ineffectiveness.
If you are going to be effective in life, you must know your calling so that you can know which specific gifts to FOCUS on!
You must resist the temptation to do everything. You must learn the art of FOCUS! Don’t let your many gifts be a distraction.
A lack of focus is a disservice to you and your life’s purpose. Even if people sing your praise as multi-gifted, multi-talented, you would soon be forgotten.
Hear this, no one ever became successful in life by doing everything!
I always say that you must focus so much on your calling/purpose that when people think of a particular problem they need a solution to, they think of you. And when people think of you, they think of a problem your life solves.
You are a solution, but not to every problem. Focus on and prioritise your interests that are in alignment to the problem you were born to solve and your life will become more effective and meaningful.
Have you read this and your question is: but, how?
Send me a message and I will do my best to help you get some clarity on which of your gifts to focus on.
I believe in you!

This is a subtitle for your new post
Picture an eagle in a cage. No matter how beautiful the cage is, the eagle was not designed to live in a cage. It was designed to soar on the highest heights and mountains with courage and flair. No matter the lure of the cage, it can never surpass the freedom of the eagle soaring in all expanse of the skies in all of its glories and strength. Like the eagle trapped, too many brilliant, gifted, called individuals are trapped in the cage of careers they were not designed for. They can never command their true worth and value, they can only eat the crumbs they are being fed by their captors. The lure of salaries and pennies that will never satisfy keeps them in such cages. They would rather remain in the rat race than take the risks for their freedom and glory. The Bible says, "If the Son (Jesus) sets you free, you will be free indeed." - John 8:36 As a child of God, you can break free! You were not designed to be caged! Any job that does not give you the freedom to express your gifts, talents and calling is a cage. One of the biggest graveyards of purpose I see is this graveyard of unfulfilling careers. People get jobs only for the sake of earning, rather than fulfilling their life's calling and pursuing what matters to them. But here's the truth: The careers you were not designed for will not satisfy you. They will leave you with voids and emptiness. At the end of your career, you would lack true legacy, influence and impact. Your time to break free is now. I believe in you. Dr Samuel Ekundayo
