A lot of people are not aware of the fact that we are all gifted. Each and everyone of us has his/her own God given gifts.
The main reason why a lot of people are not aware of this fact is because of a lack repentance and Bible study.
People are mostly focused on going to church and listening to the pastor's semon. The majority of people say that they struggle to understand the word of God if they study the word on their own . "Like for example someone will say I like the way my pastor preachers".
The job description of a pastor is to teach us how to repent. What happens next is up to the holy spirit not the pastor.
We miss the real reason of why we should study the Bible. The Bible clearly explains that no one will ever understand the word of God if he/she is not lead by the power of the holy spirit. The question is how can we be lead by the spirit of God if we don't repent?
How can we discover our God given gifts if we don't know God's will for our lives.
We think that going to church every Sunday is pleasing to God. That is absolutely wrong, you may be going to church every Sunday thinking that you are pleasing God. God wants us to repent so that we may be born again by the power of his spirit.

7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a] and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines
