*** BEWARE OF THE SPIRIT OF “JACK OF ALL TRADE BUT MASTER OF NONE” ***

A particular English Adage says, “JACK OF ALL TRADE IS A MASTER OF NONE”. In other words, by trying to learn many things, many have given up mastery of any of them. Economist taught us to specialize in one trade or profession to enable the person bring out the best out of himself and the job.
Many dabble into many business ventures just because someone they knew is successful in that business but they gets distracted easily and decided to try other things. The moment they encounter one or two challenges in the new venture, they decide the job is dangerous and still move to the next idea that comes along. They want to see the results immediately. Instead of sustaining their efforts on one particular business over a time before waiting to see the good result, they keeps jumping from one business to another, achieving nothing at the end.

Even in the Church, there are workers that are Jack of all trades. They can function in 4 to 6 Departments. From Choir department to Intercessors; from Intercessors to Protocols, then to Security. Next place you will find them is Press and Information; before the day runs out, they will sneak into Children department. Of course, many of them seek for power, admiration and position. Moreover, many are serving tables, talent hunters, and out to steal, kill and destroy anyone that question their insidious acts or tries to point them right. Unless these individuals change their ways, they are never going to stay put with any department and will not be good in any department.

During the Apostles days according to ACTS 6:2-7, many of their followers brought complaints and murmuring due to them neglecting their Ministry to serve tables. It was when the Apostles took decision to give power to other smaller disciples while concentrating on the Ministry of the word that sanity was restored among the disciples. And thereafter, the number of the followers multiplied greatly and the Word of God increased.

If you are Working in the Vineyard of God, please do your part of work with the gift God has gifted you, in the place or office He has placed you with Joy and to the glory of His name. Do not work on another Man’s office because you may end up frustrated and lose your reward.

Distractions will come when you do many things at the same time and you will not achieve anything reasonable. Channel your efforts, energy and force on that one venture, field or area you have the best ability at any given time, you will always achieve good results…SHALOM!!!

# FIND YOUR GIFT OR TALENT, DEVELOP IT AND LET OTHERS FUNCTION IN THEIRS#
