Talent is NEVER Enough
What kind of leader is God looking for in the hip-hop ministry, industry, and culture? He’s not looking for “holy” hip-hop artists I can tell you that for a fact. Talent is never enough and most of the time it just gets in the Spirits way. What’s even worse than that, we call it “the anointing.” Talent is given at birth. The anointing—the Holy Spirit—was given at the second birth. There is a difference between natural born talents, skills, and abilities versus Spiritual Gifts, calling, and the anointing of the Spirit.
That’s what I want to talk about today.
If you read 1st Samuel 16:8-13, it talks about how God used Samuel to anoint shepherd boy David. We all know the story. Jesse brought out all seven of his sons and Samuel was like,
“Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! And nope! Hold up fam! I don’t usually miss things like this. My words don’t fall to the ground. Now the Lord sent me here to find Israel’s new king. You have got to have more sons then this!”
Jesse was like,
“Well we got the little runt out back he doesn’t play with us on the basketball court (just imagine it’s 2012). He’s too short. So we got him doing the water boy stuff and all the other odd jobs like watching the sheep.”
Samuel was told him to bring him out so that he can have a look at the boy. David comes out with his red looking face, healthy fit, and he probably had his sling and harp on him. God was like,
“THAT’S THE ONE! PUT MY POWER AND ANOINTING ON HIM!”
