TOPIC: DISCOVERING YOUR UNKNOWN TALENTS (PART 1)

TEXT: DEUTERONOMY 29:29 “The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.”

KEY VERSE: PROVERBS 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

Talents are natural gifts. He places talents within us as naturally as He gives us the colour of our skin or hair. They are like books in your bookshelves that have never been read or seeds stored in packages that await planting. 

Talents are different from spiritual gifts. Spiritual gifts, as listed in Scripture, are for believers. They always involve a measure of faith to be manifested. On the other hand, the natural gifts we call talents, have been distributed to all people, both believers and unbelievers.  

Talents are not to remain dormant or undiscovered. They are placed in us for a purpose. Jesus said, let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven (Matthew 5:16).  

Our talents were given to be discovered, perfected and used; not to be hidden under a basket. There is a sense of fulfilment you get if you discover your talents and are using them to the glory of God.  

Many people are depressed and discouraged because they do not know the joy of using their talents as God meant them to be used. A writer said men can starve from a lack of self-fulfilment as much as they can from a lack of bread. Check these categories of talents and identify where you belong.

Artistic Talents. There are people God has put in them creative ability. They can create things out of nothing. They are good at creative work like music, paintings, software, internal decoration, drawings, etc. Do you see yourself doing artistic work without stress or struggle? It is possible God has wired you with this ability to be a blessing to God’s kingdom, yourself and your society. Train up and use it.

Leadership Talents. This is a natural ability to lead others. This may manifest from childhood while you are growing up. Other children willingly followed you as they acknowledge you as their leader. Grace to lead others is inherent in you.

Thought For The Day: Your talents are not to remain dormant or undiscovered.

Song For The Day: All I have is given to me by the Lord....

Bible reading for the day: Nahum 1-3

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR. DATE: WEDNESDAY JULY 15, 2026. TOPIC: HOW TO PRAY  TEXT: JOHN 14:12-14 12. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father.  13. And whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14. If ye shall ask any thing in My name, I will do it.

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
