Minister- PASTOR WALE OMOLADE.
The text was taken from the book of matthew 25:14-29, john 15:8, john 15:2
lets see what matt25:14-29 says for the kingdom of heaven is like a man travelling into a far country,who called his own servant, and delivered unto them his goods.And unto one he gave five talents,to another two and to another one;to every man according to his several ability;and straightway took his journey.Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same,and made them other five talents.And likewise he that had received two,he also gained two.But he that had received one went and digged in the earth,and hid the lord's money.After a long time the lord of those servants cometh,and reckoneth with them.And so he that had received five talents come and brought other five talents, saying,lord thou deliveredst unto me five talents:behold, i have gained beside them five more talents.
His lord said unto him,well done,thou good and faithful servant:thou hast been faithful over a few things,i will make thee ruler over many things:enter thou into the joy of thy lord.He also that had received two talents came and said,lord,thou deliveredst unto me two talent:behold i have gained two other talents beside them. His lord said unto him,well done,good and faithful servant;thou hast been faithful over a few things i will make thee ruler over many things:enter thou into the joy of thy lord.Then he which had received one talent came and said lord,i knew thee that thou art an hard man,reaping where thou hast not sown,and gathering where thou hast not strawed............
this was about a master who gave his servants money{talents as the bible puts it}before setting out into a far country.
note.
see your talent as an opportunity given to you to serve God.Our God is a God of increase,he believes in increase.
Our reason for existence is for the expansion of God's kingdom.we should not complain when we are given a certain number of God's work or assignment to carry out; for your bossom will be multiplied.
His grace in your life is as a result of your usefulness in the church or the ability to be useful.
Ask yourself this question...... Of what importance are you in God's kingdom?
