Your Gift Will Make A Way For You

in #career5 years ago

It's interesting to note that the Bible does not say that "a man's education makes room for him but his gift does". A man's gift make room for him according to proverb 18:16. Human were designed to be known by their gift or talent and not by the standard of education a man has acquired. We find real fulfilment in life by exercising our God giving gifts. It's so sad that we have swallowed the idea that "education is the key to success" , our families and societies have reinforce this idea and it has made us neglect our gifts and focus on the Western education to build something out from us.

If we are to be truly successful, we will have to change our perspective to this. Education is actually not the key to success, if it was, then everyone who is educated should have been financially secured and happy. No matter our level of educational Intelligence, if we fail to exercise our gift, one way or the other we are probably going to be poor, depressed , frustrated or tired. Education, in itself doesn't guarantee anything, it's your gift that does. Your talent has the ability to bring you before great men, the world will also pay you for the gift that you exercise, if only you discover and develop the God given gift in you.

In planning a career, don't do what people say will make you wealthy, do what you were born to do, because that's where true success lies and no matter how large the world is, there is always a place for you when you discover and manifest your gift.

There was a man who was pressured by family expectation to study Medicine; however, the man knows that he is talented in computer. He knows what he was born to do, his parents who doesn't care much about gifting pushed him into studying medicine. While he was studying medicine, he used his money to buy some computer text books. He finally dropped out of school and established "The Microsoft word" and today this man is richer than his country America. This man's name is Bill gate.

So, if you Don't develop your gifts but go on to just pursue a career in an area where you do not have interest then you will probably always be able to find some sort of job yet a mediocre compare to who you really would have been pursuing your area of call.

Don't let the world deceive us into buying the idea of "education, a key to success" though it's good that one becomes literate especially will the dynamic world we are into but let's rest more on our talent than education. Men who have pursued their talents have done beautifully well than those who rest on the comfort of a career. Education is great, beautiful and is worth encouraging but only our gift makes a way for us, in every sector, only people who are talented are being hunted for and not just those who have the certificate.

As we journey through life, let's always remember this saying. "Your Gift will make a way for you".
