How to Use Your Talent for God

Last Updated: June 16, 2022

God has given everyone talents, and to use them wisely it's important to accept your talents, accept that they come from God, and use them to serve Him. Great stewardship of your talents requires knowing what they are, connecting with others with similar or complementary talents, and deepening your craft. The following article will walk you through this process of effective stewardship.

1

Find yourself.

What is that thing you know you are good at and which the Church can benefit from? Ask a close friend or go on your knees and ask God.

2

Join the crew.

Once you know what you are good at, make inquiries of what it takes to join others that are serving in that area.

3

Practice.

No matter the group you’re in you must learn to practice. Choir, Drama, Usher, Prayer warrior e.t.c. Practice makes perfect.

4

Press on.

No one ever said it’s going to be easy. Don’t think about the challenges you are going to face but think of the trophy awaiting you at the end of the race.

5

Connect.

Have someone you look up to. Someone who is better than you who can help you in situations when you’re lost.

6

Pray.

Prayer is the key. Always ask God for help day & night, not just about the duty you have been assigned but about everything.

Question

How can I make God happy all the time?

Community Answer

Use what gift He gave you by helping others with your gift. Be happy to give, be open-minded, be respectful to others, and use your gift from God to inspire and uplift others.
Question

Does god really help us?

Community Answer

It is all about beliefs. I believe God helps us if there is anything catastrophic when all humans would die, or he helps us through our conscience or through other humans. There must be some role model or someone who you love the most. Do you see God inside them? However, by this I mean that God is deep inside their mind and God's creation, God's creation is not God. As for your question, I believe that God can only help us if we help ourselves since our future is determined by the decisions we make in our present. Rather than relying on God we should be independent and do hard work and believe in ourselves. If you are satisfied with your hard work, trust God to judge your hard work fairly.

It is difficult to preach to people today, since people have moved on to technological ideas more than spiritual ones. The most effective way to do preach is to help them; in this stressful time, let them feel God's love, which will help you preach to them according to God's ways.
