I can think of many people who have a wide range of talents. In fact, I personally know folks who have a way better voice than Michael Jackson, better preaching skills than Bishop T.D. Jakes, or they're better businessmen than Elon Musk.
So, what sets these people apart from the names mentioned above? Well, my friend, to your surprise, the difference is simply timing! You see, my friend, the recognition, value, and potential profit of your talents, gifts, and abilities depend solely on the right timing!
It might seem surprising to some, but our Bibles clearly highlight this understanding. Scripture reminds us that "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven" (Ecclesiastes 3:1). This powerful verse offers comfort, emphasizing that everything happening in our lives is set within a specific season and time, infused with purpose. Essentially, your gifts are meant to serve others rather than just benefit yourself. If you find yourself feeling anxious or focused mainly on how your talents will benefit you, it can be easy to overlook or misunderstand your season and timing. Sometimes, even when you do reach your time, the true purpose can be missed or compromised. I genuinely believe that sharing your gifts and talents with others will naturally bring blessings back to you, enriching your life in wonderful ways.
To go further, a season is defined as an assigned period, and time refers to the duration allocated for that specific season or appointment. For instance, if you have a talent for singing, Ecclesiastes 3:1 states you are assured a season or appointment for that talent to be recognized and a certain amount of time to fulfill its purpose.
Remember, there's no need to seek a particular place or person to sow a financial seed in order to get noticed or recognized. Instead, kindly ask God to help you discern when it's your season and time to shine with the gifts and talents He's given you. According to His promises, you are surely meant to showcase what you've been blessed with at the right moment. Just pray, 'Lord, please equip me with the ability to recognize when it's my season and time to display the gifts and talents You've given me, because according to Your law, I am guaranteed that season and time in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!'
I'll leave you with this thought: seasons and times are assured for every gift, talent, and provision that God has graciously given us over our lives. Still, there's no certainty that we'll always encounter those perfect seasons and moments. One of the main reasons people miss out on their designated times to shine and share their gifts—those that God has promised to create space for—is because they may connect with the wrong people, places, or things. These, my friend, are often the culprits behind delays and missed opportunities, so it's important to stay mindful of where we invest our time and energy.
