Most of us, are in the house of God, have diverse gifts but don't know how to utilize it.

What does God see you as in the house of God?

>>> What Is Talent?

Talent is;

1. something you're born with.
2. what separate you from others.

>>>> Gifts

Is supernatural. The gift God gives you is not solely for you. (Example is Daddy G.O. - Dr. D.K. Olukoya's divine gift from God)

>>> Notes to ponder on...

1. Talent is different from knowledge.
2. The ability to discern what you have, is key to your life.
3. You're the manager of the gifts that God has given to you.
4. If you think your talent is to make money, you have completely missed it.
5. God has given you a talent that's equal to your managing ability.
6. In utilizing your gift, you must know that God has entrust a responsibility in you.

It's your responsibility to know what you are configured for.

We don't utilize our talent because, we are;

• lazy
• afraid

If you don't know your destination, every junction looks like a destination to you.

Ask yourself these questions

Who are you? Are you a manager or a damager?

If you know who you are, people will recognize you.

Talent is a gift or attribute that you have.

>>> Gifts are divided into 3 namely:

• Teaching
• Sign and miracles
• Service administrator

>>> To utilize your talent and gift to optimal capability, you need;

• the place of prayer
• to know your friend
• to know your place of study.

For you to grow in life, you need a mentor.

Who is your mentor?

For you to optimize in life, you need to be a man of vision.
