For several years, I never wrote a thing. On occasion, the thought that I
give an account to the Lord for what I produced with my gifts disturbed
me. I knew the value of what I had on the inside. I didn't know was how
to get back what I lost.
One day as I was waking up from my sleep these words rang out loud
in my spirit, "One talent, one talent, use your talent!" I moved slow and
picked up my pen and pulled out my journal and started to write. To my
surprise, as I persisted in writing, the river of writing began to flow again.
Although I had a gift to write, it took me 15 years to write my first book.
Once I finished my first book within a period of six months I wrote and
published four other books. Since then, I’ve published more.
"I enjoy teaching others how to turn
their expertise into eBooks, books, online
course and other products."
So, what happened? As I thought through the process, the Lord made it
clear to me. It's one thing to have a gift, but another to cultivate it to pro-
duce something that generates income for you.
Now, to write a book, you need several skills. I am gifted to write and
technically inclined to create long documents and the graphics for my
book. Yet, I some of my skills needed more cultivation for me to produce
a product with good market value.
God endowed everyone with gifts and abilities, but the onus is on us to
develop them. The responsibility is on us to be good stewards of all he
gave to us.
Most people fail to do this. As a result, they stay stuck in the class of me-
diocre, which correlates to their ability to generate income.
