No one was created “jack of all trades”. I have tried almost every field of ministry. I realize that I can do well in many areas. I play musical instruments quite well. I think that I am not bad as a singer. I am good at leading worship. I am absolutely thrilled by evangelism. Prophecy and the prophetic ministry intrigue me. I pastor churches and train leaders. I have founded many things in my short life. But which of these is my real calling? I recently asked the Lord, “What do you want me to do?” The Lord made it clear to me that I was called to stand in the office of a teacher.

There are many things that I like to do, but I intend to stay with what God called me to do. A true leader knows where his strength lies. A leader can do many good things. When you discover your strengths, flow in them and become a great leader.
Many people live and die without developing their strengths in ministry. Do not be a pastor because everyone is pastoring a church. Do not be a prophet because that is the latest fad in town.
I started my ministry as a lay person. Most of my workers are lay people. One of my strengths is the lay ministry. If I had followed what everyone else was doing, I would have destroyed my special ministry. You may be influenced by many people but make sure you do what God has called you to do.
Stay in the area which makes you unique. Develop it and become strong. I know many businessmen who jump from one thing to another without developing their strengths. By the time they have discovered the pitfalls and loopholes in one area of business, they are jumping into the next. They think the next business is going to bring a quick return. There is no such thing as a quick fix.
Most people who become millionaires are people who decided early in life what they were going to do and stayed with it. Successful people are often people who have been doing the same thing for a long time. Hopping around from country to country will not help you to prosper. Decide where you want to live and stay there until you become strong!
The Apostle Paul fought a good fight and ran his race. It is time for you to run your race.

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith…
2 Timothy 4:7
Forget about somebody else’s race. What does God have in store for you? What is your course? Is it the course of business? Then do not stray into politics! What is your course? Is it the course of ministry? Then do not stray into politics! Many ministers shorten their lives by doing things that they were not supposed to do. Are you a leader? Then stay on course and then everyone will see the gift of God upon your life. You will become a respected leader.
