I am the holder of a Bachelor's of Science degree in Business Administration, with a 3.55 GPA.  I have been elevated with titles such as a compliance officer, deacon, Sunday school teacher, choir member and department head for four ministries, but have been living under a severe warning about missing heaven for not using my special God-given talent in creative writing. It had blossomed into numerous unrecorded Gospel songs and little practice novels from as early as my teenage years. Today, after a few recordings, I continue my journey of making amends.

 

I am intrigued by the Lord's interest in my blessed endowment? Why warn me so devastatingly in a vision around 2004/5? I dreamed that I was locked out of heaven twice, after being told I did not use my talent. The vision was as plain as day. Several persons sat on a bench in a room in heaven. It was lit by a lamp that seemed primitive in nature. One gentleman got up from among the group and looked at me and said: “You should not be here, you did not use your talent!” He beckoned for me to get up and then backed me through the door.

 

Outside, I thought within: I teach Sunday school, and sing on the choir. I am the children’s pastor and a Children’s Ministry director. No man; I can’t go to hell. I will go back and knock on the door and remind the gentleman of all the work I do at church. I  walked up to the door and knocked. The same gentleman opened it and looked at me. I spoke of all the ministries, but the gentleman was unmoved.

“YOU DID NOT USE YOUR TALENT!” BLAM!!! The door was shut in my face; again.

Until this day, this vision has haunted and taunted me in massive ways; provoking action.
