Talent usually refers to a natural aptitude or skill in a particular area. God has given us all gifts and talents. The Word declares it in James 1:7, that every good and perfect gift comes from above. However, not all gifts equate to being chosen for a specific task. There is a process that one must go through and a series of tests that one must pass before being chosen for a particular work.
The bible mentions Aaron's ability to speak well; however, speaking well did not mean that he...

We need to first know what God considers a talent. A talent is one kind of stewardship (responsibility in the kingdom of God). The parable of the talents tells us that when we serve well in our stewardship, we will be given greater responsibilities. If we do not serve well our stewardship can be taken from us. (Matthew 14:25-30). This is part of the process that prepares us for the call He has upon our lives! He can fulfill His plan and purpose, through who we call the chosen.

I believe talents refer to an aptitude or ability to do something. Matthew 25:15 talks about the parable of talents ...to each according to his own ability... We are equipped with the ability to do certain things and God can enhance it according to his will to do miraculous things. We see many talented people that seem to do things with ease like speaking eloquently, being a strategic thinker or painting. I believe that being chosen by God means there is a specific purpose that He chose speci...Posted Monday, August 19, 2024 by Vanessa Howell • 0 comments
We all have natural talents. Some of us have been graced to be caretakers, nurturers, leaders, entrepreneurs. Natural talents can be cultivated, but when we operate in the flesh we can easily become burdened and overwhelmed by these tasks. It is thus easy to quit and give up. When you are called, although you may feel the same overwhelm, you are operating from a different place. You have a sense of purpose that is God-given and the task becomes easier to bear because you are not operating from s...Posted Wednesday, August 14, 2024 by Kristy Hammond • 2 comments
The difference of being talented and True chosen people of God in my opinion is the talented individual is operating from what they know and born naturally gifted to do. True chosen individuals are operating out of what God has placed within them, Ephesian 4:11 says and he himself gave some to be apostle, some prophets, some evangelist and some pastors and teacher. The true chosen also, has excepted the call God has placed on them. According to Matthew 22:14 Many are called, but few are chosen. ...Posted Wednesday, August 14, 2024 by Tawanna Taborn • 2 comments
