Luke 19:12(He said therefore, A certain
nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to
return. And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said
unto them, Occupy till I come. 14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a
message after him, saying, we will not have this man to reign over us. 15 And
it came to pass, that when he returned, having received the kingdom, then he
commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money,
that he might know how much every man had gained by trading).
The gift of God is without repentance;
however what we do with our gift is very important to God (Romans 11:29). The
bible says that the gift of a man will make a way for him (Proverbs 18:16).
Joseph’s dream interpretation gift made a way for him before Pharaoh and he
became second in command in a strange land in Egypt. Joseph occupied the land of
Egypt. That you have been giving a gift does not mean there will be no
contention from the opposition. Every good thing will always attract
opposition. The opposition was already there; if they hate your master
definitely they will hate you. His citizens who sent a message to him that they
will not have him rule over them are already your opposition because they are
aware of your pounds. John 17:14(I have given them thy word; and the world
hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the
world). Your pounds came with power to overcome every opposition; that’s
why he said that you should occupy till he returns. John 1:11(He came unto
his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him to them
gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his
name). Your father will not give you more than you can handle; he knows the
level of your capability (1 Corinthian 10:13). The opposition knows the value
of your pounds; it is you that do not recognize the value of your treasure.
Please don’t bury your pounds because the enemy would want you to bury it since
he could not snatch it from you. Imagine what happens to the seven servants who
do returns to give account of themselves and their pounds. A lot of things
might have happened to them; it may be that they have absconded with their
master’s pound or they fell into the hand of the enemies and they kill them and
go away with their pounds. Not doing what you have been empowered to do is a
sin in the eyes of God; that’s why he punished the man who buried his pounds.
Jesus Christ told his disciples that he will appoint to them a kingdom
but only to those who continue to follow him in his temptation (Luke 22:29).
You need to continue in the same things that earn you the pound in the first
place. You have to continue to sanctify yourself with the word of God and
activate the power to retain and to trade with your pounds. He is a
businessman; he came to carry out his father’s business of reconciling the
world to him and he expects us to do the same. Everyone that engages in
business expects a profit in return. Jesus Christ proves himself to be a
faithful servant and God gave him a name that is above every other name and he
also earns a seat at the right hand of God. He said to us that the son of man
did not come to be served but to serve others. Now that you are saved, he did
not expect you to appear in heaven alone, he wants you to draw others to him.
So, at redemption your own pounds have been handed over to you and you are
expected to trade with it and earn more pounds. You will not disappoint your
father in Jesus name and your seat at his right will not be given to another.
There are still more pounds in the hand of the father, so hurry up and get your
own and trade with it by praying this salvation prayer below if you are not yet
a member of his family.
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.
