Matthew 25:14(For the Kingdom of heaven
is as a man traveling into a far country, who called his own servants, and
delivered unto them his goods 15 And unto one he gave five talents to another
two and another one; to every man according to his several ability; and
straightway took his journey. 16 Then he that had received the five talents
went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. 17 And
likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. 18 But he that had
received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money. 19 After a
long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them).
We are here on assignment; God has
given us talents according to our ability. Just like the lord who gave his
servants talents according to each one’s ability and expect them to trade with
their talents. Everyone has something to offer including you so don’t look down
on yourself. What we do with our God gift is what defines us. Your location
does not matter; the color and the quality of the talents are the same. The
only difference is the quantity because he knows your ability. It is to
everyone according to their ability but he still expects you to do more. That
means the man who received one can overtake the person who received five
if he proves to do more. In this race overtaken is allowed. Your background and
location should not be an excuse for your failure. It is our responsibility to
make use of what God has given to us. Jesus is our perfect example; the bible
says we should look unto him (Hebrews 12:2). Jesus Christ was born in a
place where sheep are kept. Luke 2:7(And she brought forth her firstborn
son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because
there was no room for them in the inn). He was raised by a carpenter but he
knew who he was, so he refuses to be held down by circumstance by taking
responsibility. He went to meet John to be baptized without holding hands with
his parents. He was listening to the Doctors and teachers without his parents (Luke
2:46-49). It is unfair to blame our parents for our failure; in this race
when you fail, you are alone but when succeeding, people will celebrate with
you. Everyone that received talents from our anchor scripture above traded with
their own except one person who decided to hide his own, but that will not be
your case in Jesus name. Your uniqueness is what you need to make a difference
and that is the only way your story can change. God will ask you to give an
account of what he gave to you; what would your response be, because that will
determine your next levels. You will not be a failure in Jesus name. Hurry up
and begin to trade with your talents. It is not too late; Abraham starts at
75years and Moses at 80years. Start by aligning yourself with the one who gave
you the talents and he will clear every obstacle for you. He will not allow you
to face any challenge that you are not equipped to handle; that’s why he gave
according to each one’s ability. God is calling you today the same way he
called Abraham and Moses and made them a star. It is a call to freedom, a call
of salvation and this is your time; in case you have not answered his call, do
it right now and be blessed in Jesus name.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a
sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your
precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord
Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
