A natural talent is something you are born with. A spiritual gift is given to you by The Holy Spirit. A natural talent generally glorifies self and people. A spiritual gift glorifies God and edifies the body of Christ. Whitney Houston had a natural talent to sing. But her natural talent didn't glorify God. Mahalia Jackson had a spiritual gift of vocal music that glorified God and lifted up the church. That is the main difference between a natural talent and a spiritual gift. Hopefully, this teaching will help someone.
Thank you for this. As a Christian, sometimes I feel this worldly tug to use my gifts just to glorify myself and not God; to worldly gain in a dying world. There is this struggle, The flesh for sin versus the Spirit for righteousness, and I thank God for helping me to see, that my gifts and talent are BOTH to be used to His honor glory and praise, not for vainglory and pride. God Bless You.
@Divine Gift you don't glorify God with your natural talent. You use your natural talent naturally whether it is singing, dancing, writing or whatever it is you are born with. Your spiritual gift (s) bring glory to God. Did you read my example?
You’re very correct. God revealed this to me that Natural talent is for me to eat and take care of my family. And there’s nothing to feel bad about. Spiritual gifts is for the edification of other as well as purpose.
Thank you for your comment as I've met people in the church who think the arts are all ungodly. As a visual artist, I feel the visual arts can be used for God's purposes. Unfortunately, I've met people in church who feel that all the visual arts are evil. I've also met people who have fantastic math skills all within one family so to those who say the arts alone are effortless are purely genetic alone are wrong.
I am talented in singing, writing and speaking. Training and use has improved them. But my spiritual gifts are knowledge, teaching and leadership. The talents help a lot in executing my gifts. Both have also been turned into skills over time through training, practice, etc
Kenneth Acha Thank you. This is the first video I have seen that in many ways has closely described what happened to me some 10 years ago. I was watching Olympic Games and saw Bolt running it triggered my heart and it made me sincerely ask God what was in my hands that I could just do effortlessly I walked to the verandah and sat down immediately I fell into a trans and I looked to the sky and began seeing fabrics fall from heaven like rain I woke up. Just after I don't know why but I asked my mother for a sewing machine with no idea no experience whatsoever I just sat there figuring how to thread something I had never used but can I tell you immediately my stitches where straight to perfection. Many laughed thought I had lost it but what was in me convinced me that this was a gift from God. Remember I had absolutely no interest and desire to sew but after that encounter I was drawn to it. I made suits, wedding dresses, sweaters, jackets to perfection the first time, excellence was already in it, early days I would work odd times just couldn't sleep and would start sewing, I began having more visions and dreams seeing designs and just doing it, each time I would pray and praise God the more I discovered what else I could do, for a moment I almost lost my mind because it was too much out of the ordinary. So I put it on hold fast forward I studied something else looked for a job for years had very good interviews nothing happened I had no choice but do something which was going back to the gift. I thought I had seen it all but I was mistaken, 2015 more bigger greater discovery I could make sandles from scratch, bags because I heard God speak to me, saying "now it's time you make sandles". Before I debated why I couldn't do it quickly took the Bible and opened in Deuteronomy where it speaks of blessings to the obedient and curses to the non obedient and so I just drove off to town randomly and everything that happened after was not short of God's guidance. Today I am designing changing lives and I still have no idea what I am doing I just walk in it, I don't even use patterns I am guided every garment dress I make I have never adjusted it fits my clients just like that, I know it's a gift not talent because like Jesus is a gift to us it's already done and finished I cannot increase or decrease it I don't need training nothing I just walk in it because only the Holy Spirit can teach, guide, direct & show me what I can do. To see what God is doing I have documented a few things on instagram as vzendesigns pronounced "vision" All praise be to God. I am writing a book I already speak to a community of women in my life and other gatherings. Praise be to God.
Lorraine, I am excited to hear that God is blessing you and you are working in obedience. I'm also happy my video was of help to you. Continue walking with God and may he continue to bless you!
@@temusshipanga7155 Thank you for the reply but I must tell you that before this happened I was never passionate about sewing and after walking in this I had times I would have no passion for it at all and this made me learn something very important...it is not my own passion but God inspired passion, if he didn't release it to me I just wouldn't be passionate about it. Since this post wowwww a lot for incredible mind blowing God incidents concerning this have happened but the important thing is the person I have become doing this.
@@hugme77 ohh is it that's amazing having the discipline to do that. God just used this as reference at the time. In my journey I came to cross roads where some would suggest I go and study and fully be equipped as they would say...but because I was curious of what God had started I was eager to see how far this would go... so I kept true to just letting God lead me...it seems crazy to others honestly but he has never failed me. I am now making wedding dresses...
Thank giants of faith for the powerful revelation about a gift and talent. according to me, A gift due to being natural, you don't have control over it let say you can decide to carry on with a talent or drop it and go on with life, but a gift can never be dropped away, even if you disguise it, it still keeps you restless and peace less until you pick yourself up and act towards it.THESE GIFTS ARE BEING GIVEN TO US FOR OUR PURPOSE OF LIVING. So according to God he doesn't see your reason of living if you are not using the tool he has give you for his Glory. It's not always about what we feel or think about our Gifts its about God.
Heavenly father, I wish I would have a feeling what kind of talents and gifts I can use in this life and in work, in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, Yeshua: amen. Thank you God almigthy! Annelies Bakker, the Netherlands.
My question is...I could see in the spirit as long as I can remember, and tell of events I never knew of before they happened, is this a spiritual gift? And if yes,was I already a Christian when I was so young?
I have been good with using Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word and using computers from when I was a child and have been good in using computers. And I do the absolute best with the least amount of effort. And I have a desire for it.. Is this my gift or skill?.
Hi, thanks for the comment and question. I would consider that an of your gifting. If you enjoy doing it and can get a job with it, definitely do it. But the gifting gives you natural abilities that allow you to excel with those programs, which can be transferrable to other fields as well. Someone in a remote village in Asia who doesn't have access to those programs may be given similar gifts, and they would be able to find other work in their community that uses those gifts. Certainly, before the invention of computers, people had similar gifts as you, one must ask, what did they do? Asking that allows one to realize that gifts can be used in different fields. Part of exploring your gift may involve trying to understand what it is about you that makes you good about these programs. When you understand that, you may be able to apply those elements to different areas of passion.
Great job by the way. In response to the comment stated, “ I think that everyone has a talent but the Bible doesn’t guarantee it. “ The Bible gives an example of how God distributes talents and guarantees talent and gifts that we have a talent (s) due to the example in the parable Matthew 25:14-30 and Gods command in Genesis 1:28 #1 because it is genetic #2 because one can train and multiply talent Genesis 1:28 Be fruitful or Multiply/Subdue // and dominate What was God talking about in Genesis? He was telling Adam and Eve to use their talents and Gifts to be fruit or learn or to multiply , to subdue or bring things under control on the earth, and to dominate // rule in the earth Definition of Terms in Genesis 1:28 Oxford Languages Dictionary on google Defines Fruitful as producing good or helpful results; productive. Definition of Terms in Genesis 1:28 Oxford Languages Dictionary on google defines Subdue as the ability to overcome, quieten, or bring under control Definition of Terms in Genesis 1:28 Oxford Languages Dictionary on google defines Dominate as the ability to have a commanding influence on; exercise control over. This type of domination is not witch craft if the Holy Spirit is leading you. Read this parable below We have a different amount of talent. Great job over all ! Read the scripture below. Matthew 25:14-30 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2025%3A14-30&version=TLB Genesis 1:28 New Life Version 28 And God wanted good to come to them, saying, “Give birth to many. Grow in number. Fill the earth and rule over it. Rule over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
Where is the scriptural backing or proof? This just comes across as pulled out of thin air or made up conclusions without any biblical basis in Greek, Hebrew or scriptural support.
Interest, Exposure, Environment and Culture. This is how talents are formed. I myself a professional artist know the source of talent. People who are talented work hard for this. The talent itself is not a gift or a genetic.The process is the gift from God. Talent is not exclusive , and will never be exclusive. 🙂
You’ll agree with me that not every person created by God is a child of God if yes then if you’re in sin you’re out of sync with God until you’re saved through Christ Jesus can you become child of God hence spiritual is a gift given only to his children
praise God you did a great job which help me in preparing my bible study touching spiritual gifts... If I may humbly add one more difference between the two. A person with out natural talent (eg. piano) can be trained and developed to play but a person who does not have spiritual gift for certain ability can neither be trained nor developed by men. Even if it may outwardly seem he got the ability, it is not a spiritual gift because it does not come from the Spirit but by the works of man, and therefore can not be used to edify the Church. Does this make sense?
Thank you Jose. I'm glad that God used it to help you. Yes, I agree with you. People can learn skills but we cannot learn what the Holy Spirit alone gives.
Personally,i think a gift,is something that people naturally inherited. Secondly,however all people with talents is genetically inherited. No disrespect sir. But,I disagree when people say,that god gives spiritual gifts for christians to become insightful and build churches,to convinced everyone in the world,that's where god dwells. With that also being said,according to bible,Acts 17: 24-30 says,that god almighty does not dwell in temples that has been built by the hands of man. Not to mention,within that same paragraph,says,that god has already existed in all of us,since the beginning of birth. According to Matthew 6:6 says,we should isolate ourselves to pray along in isolated places as individuals. According to bible,even jesus prayed alone when he was in isolated places. Jesus has never considered himself as the christ nor a christian. The disciples told him,that he was christ. According to Wikipedia, christ originally means,anointed which is oil or grease/anointment. The ancient Egyptians used to using it as a treatment on animals or on people. The Roman Catholic,theologians has completely borrowed the word,christus from the greek latin,and ultimately transliterated it into christ to make it sounded more affected to control the world's population. The making of christ is a title,not a spiritual guidance. According to bible,jesus was an israelite,through his mother,merry. He was not a christian nor a jew. Before ending this. I think a gift is a metaphor for breathing the oxygen of gods,developing the abilities we inherited from our greatest ancestors by revitalizing their spirits through us as a people to higher levels. I understand you've done this video few years ago. And i think you've done the best you knew how at that time. Except there's nothing wrong with improving our abilities on higher levels. Sorry please forgive me,if anything i said in this paragraph,sounded harsh. I still think you're a great brother. Peace!
Lol. You don't seen to understand the power of God and the love of Jesus. You sound to me like a pharisee or and atheist, or some agnostic person that believes in all kinds of gods and then uses the Bible to defend your comments.
U mentioned only Christian get spiritual gifts, u are totally wrong, Allah, gves to who he wants to, I'm a Muslim n God, is my Allah n I was born wt a gift... Ur information is very racist
Spiritual gifts are given to Christians only? What kind of non sense is that??? Dalai Lama is def full of spiritual gifts and he is a Buddhist. Gandhi, even Jesus wasn't Christian!!! People created Christianity after Jesus died! Spitiual gifts are for every one! One Love! No separation
No offence but please don't relate spiritual gifts to religion because by doing so you are changing the literal meaning of word "spiritual" which means "religious belief" not what a particular religion believes.

How?
I'm talented in writing, speaking, entrepreneurship and playing sports. But my spiritual gifts are wisdom, knowledge, faith and prophecy.

The second most important thing is what we will do with what He did for us!

The Bible gives an example of how God distributes talents and guarantees talent and gifts that we have a talent (s) due to the example in the parable Matthew 25:14-30 and Gods command in Genesis 1:28
#1 because it is genetic
#2 because one can train and multiply talent
Genesis 1:28 Be fruitful or Multiply/Subdue // and dominate
What was God talking about in Genesis? He was telling Adam and Eve to use their talents and Gifts to be fruit or learn or to multiply , to subdue or bring things under control on the earth, and to dominate // rule in the earth
Definition of Terms in Genesis 1:28
Oxford Languages Dictionary on google Defines Fruitful as producing good or helpful results; productive.
