During bible study some months ago,I learnt something really profound and today I'll be sharing it with you.
Hebrews 5:14(Amp)
[14]But solid food is for full-grown men, for those whose senses and mental faculties are trained by practice to discriminate and distinguish between what is morally good and noble and what is evil and contrary either to divine or human law.Hebrews 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.(NIV)
Let's dig in...
You'll agree with me if I say that there was a time where "those of full age" were unable to discern right? but by "reason of use" they exercised their senses to full discernment.
Simply put, They gained mastery in discernment by "USE" and trained by practice the gift of discernment in them.
I discovered that this verse is not just about discernment but can be applied to almost anything you can think of and it’s pretty enlightening.
My point here is this ....
The only way you can gain mastery or excellence in any skill,talent or gift(spiritual or not) is by simply using it consistently.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re not good at something....my advice to you is to do it more because everytime you use that talent, gift or skill you get better at it by 1%

It doesn’t matter how many times you seem not to get it right or the number of times you’ve failed always remember that you’ve also learned a lesson and you’ve gotten 1% better at what you’re doing ( you’ve exercised your senses).
Everytime you use, you build momentum and there are two sure outcomes that comes out of this ...either you become good or you become extremely good at what you do.
This is the key to building excellence.
USE…
Repetition is not the enemy of learning, it is the gateway to being a master...
