Talent discovery, Development, And Prophecy

Talent discovery, Development, And Prophecy-Godday Odidi 

At one point, every child was prophesied upon as a great person in the future. Some parents never paid attention to these prophecies.

Prophecies are exam sheets to prepare the minds of students for the real examination. Prophecies are necessary if properly guided by the parents to the children. Prophecy does not mean, you should fold your hands and wait for the manifestation without creative action.

While growing up from a child to teenager to youth, I had many prophecies upon me from preachers and non-preachers on greatness. I was very brilliant as a child but we were growing up to read books and worked in government establishments. Our academic seriousness to read and come out with an excellent result.

Little attention was given to talent discovery and development. Only a few people discovered their talents and became wealthy but lack financial management.

In those days, stubborn children were sent to join the army. Those joining the army or any uniformed profession were passionate about it. We had the best military forces in Nigeria who were ready to defend its citizens. Today, the military force is sold out to the enemies, top military officers want money, not a defense. The government on its own created nepotism and tribalism into the system.

First, you must discover your talent as a person and strength and passion. You must learn profitable skills, not just skills. Skills that can back up your talent and passion professionally.

My writing skills never started today. When I was teaching to make ends meet, I knew my passion was not in the teaching profession because my career was stagnant. Anything you are doing, you don't find joy, it means, that is not your area of life.

While courting with my wife then, she went to a business center to photocopy some documents. She met a man he never met in her life. After she has photocopied her documents, the young man said,  can I talk to you in a few minutes? she felt the young man wanted to woo her for a love. So, she paid attention, Holy Spirit revealed your husband you are about to marry, God gave him a gift that would make way for him, not all these TV programs, he is attending always. I was writing not but putting more interest in the certificate then. Today, I write for a living and mentor young people.

Those I met earlier in life never shown me a way to success but only using the word it is the Lord's doing. Discover yourself now!
