Why People Do Not Know Their Spiritual Talents
People do not knwo their talents because:
- People no longer render selfless services. Ask a person to do something for you, and the person will give you reasons why he will not do it. Call a youth to send him on an errand, and before you finish telling him what to do, he will forge and give you reasons why he will not attend to you.
- Spiritual talents were given by God, freely. Children of God are expected to use the talent freely, for the benefits of others. In serving others is your prosperity, says the Almighty. People are more interested in immediate benefits. When you call on somebody to help or serve, the first thing he considers is whether he will gain something from the call or not. People claim to be children of God but refuse to do things of God who gives freely to all.
- The religious leaders do not teach people how to develop their spiritual talents. The same is true in almost all the churches, ministries, fellowship, crusades, etc.
Some religious leaders pride themselves of what they can do, and hide such things from others. They are more interested in increasing membership than in the spiritual development of the masses. Only spiritual churches and prayer houses try at all to guide people in the discovery and development of their spiritual power.
- Opportunities are not provided for people to exercise their spiritual talents. The more you use a talent, the more it develops. A talent that is not used, diminishes and folds up as if it is not available. That is why Jesus said,
29'For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
Matthew 25:29-30
How To Know Your Spiritual Talents
Here are tips by which you can know your spiritual talents:
- First refer to How To Know Your Talents.
- Learn from your dreams, visions, trances, etc. The things you do or experience in dreams, visions, etc, shall indicate to you what your spiritual talents are. If you are always fighting battles and winning, then you are a prayer warrior. If you are repeatedly healing people, then you are destined for the health and medical profession by the power of the Holy Spirit. If you are frequently attending to clients, then you are spiritual guidance and councilor, whom people should consult for spiritual guidance of the Holy Spirit. If you are often given or speaking with microphone, then you are an evangelist.
- Learn from your messages, received from ministers of God. When you consult ministers of God, it is likely that some of them may one day indicate the line of your talents. Several girls have told me they were destined to become nurses, as revealed to them through ministers of God.
- Which of the spiritual levels does your character correspond to? Every spiritual level has characteristics by which it is known. You are at the spiritual level to which your characters - everyday habit - correspond.
- What do Angels call you in dreams, visions, trances, etc? If the Angels call you a prophet in dream of vision, then know it that you are a prophet. A leader means somebody spiritually empowered to guide others.
- How persistent are you in spiritual science and practice? The more you do spiritual science, the more you grow in spirit and the more your spiritual talents become manifest and mature. That is why it is good to be regular in worshipping and serving God.
- How much do you know about Truth? The Holy Spirit and the Angels relates to you according to what you actually know. To a person in spiritual class 1, they appear as somebody in spiritual class 2. If in spirit, you are a student, they relate to you as if they are teachers and lecturers. If you are a saint working as an officer, they take the form of Head of Department, Governor or president. The more you know about Truth, the better for, the farther and deeper they relate with you.
- How much of parables, proverbs, riddles and quotable quotes have studied? The more you study and understand these things, the more your spiritual talents become evident. You grow by eating the word of God by reading, studying and hearing the word of God.
- What are your motives, intentions, aspirations, etc? if your motive is to become famous, popular, rich and wealthy, your spiritual talents shall not blossom and prosper. The same applies if wish to become like some other persons, like actors, musicians or famous personalities.
- You know your spiritual talents by rendering selfless services to God and humanity. If you are interested in charging money for spiritual services you render to people, your spiritual talents shall not manifest, mature and prosper. Instead, they diminish and even phase out.
- Pray to God to make the talents manifest.
- Do not neglect to use the talents. When you neglect the use of your spiritual talents, as many people do, the talents diminish and phase out. Then, the Angels can transfer the spiritual gift to another person.
