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!

Looking at my life today, some might assume I was born with a golden spoon in my mouth. They see the progress, the platforms, the opportunities, the impact—and they conclude, “He must have had it all figured out from the start.” But here’s the truth... I wasn’t born with a golden spoon. In fact, I wasn’t even born with a spoon at all. The circumstances surrounding my birth were far from rosy. My beginning was rough, humble, and almost forgettable by the standards of this world. There was nothing to suggest that I would one day stand where I stand today, speak as I speak today, or do what I do today. But I was helped. I was helped by God. That’s the only reason I’ve come this far. And that, dear friend, is why I’m writing this—to remind you that it doesn’t matter where or how you were born . Your background, no matter how limiting or disadvantaged, cannot stop God’s plan for your life. You may not have had the best education. You may have been born into poverty. You may have been rejected, neglected, abandoned or overlooked. But when God steps into your life , He rewrites the story. He is not intimidated by your limitations. In fact, He specializes in using the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. He lifts the poor from the dust and sets them among princes (Psalm 113:7-8). You don’t need a silver spoon, golden spoon, or any spoon at all. All you need is His help . My life is a testament to this truth: God still helps men. He still lifts. He still promotes. He still turns nobodies into wonders. And I believe the same will happen for you. If you will let Him, If you will trust Him, If you will surrender your life to Him… You will become a miracle. You will become a wonder. Your story will be one that generations will talk about. So here’s my charge to you: Stop disqualifying yourself based on your background. Stop underestimating what God can do through you. Stop comparing your journey with someone else’s. Instead, start seeking God’s help. Start walking in faith. Start declaring His promises over your life. Because your story—yes, YOUR story—is not over yet. In fact, it’s just beginning. You are next in line for a miracle. I believe in you!
