Be faithful in small things; then God will set you over many things!

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Welcome, dear readers!It is amazing how much wisdom we can obtain through the Word of God. During these past weeks we have been analysing Jesus’ parable of talents. What abundance of precious wisdom, which is able not only to make us wise, but also to change so many things in our lives. There is just one thing necessary: we need to open our hearts and let the Spirit of God make us wise through the Word and be doers of the Word and not hearers only.If we read this parable very carefully, we will see that it talks about accountability.
“After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them” (Mathew, 25:19).
As we see, after a long time the master returned to settle accounts with his servants.The Lord is coming again! And this parable is prophetic. Jesus is our Lord and He is returning! When He comes back, He will reward every person as he or she deserves. Jesus also will condemn those who deserve it. Verse 19 says that the master came „after a long time”. It means that Jesus is coming at the time when He won’t be expected. But it also means we need to be alert. We must be alert!Besides, God rewards faithfulness. You might think today about the multitude of problems you have: problems at home, problems at work, health problems etc. And because of them you forget about your talents and about using them for the Kingdom of God.I want to say that we must be alert even when we have many great problems. Everybody has some kind of problems. But our love towards God is expressed when we serve Him under any circumstances and not just because He meets all of our needs; we serve Him because we love Him. We must serve Him not only when everything is going well, but also when the life is hard and unfair. When we do not have a desire to work and serve, we should find our motivation in the desire to be faithful to God and not fail Him.When Jesus will come, He will reward the faithful ones.I want you to see that the master from the parable of talents equally rewarded the servant who made five more talents and the one who made two more talents. God does not criticize and does not condemn people who have been less fruitful, because He knows the story of their lives; He knows the circumstances and abilities of every one of us. Both servants were equally approved by their master.The master said to the first servant:
“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord»(Mathew, 25:21).
The master said the same words to the second servant:
“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord» (Mathew, 25:23).
Their lord did not reward them for how much fruit they had brought; he rewarded their faithfulness.«… you have been faithful over a few things ».God wants to see us faithful to our calling. Be faithful in small things; then God will set you over many things.Till tomorrow!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    Many people ask me: «If God is good, why does He allow so many tears, tragedies and sorrow in this world? If it´s not His merit then where does all the evil come from? Where does a tragedy come from? What is its source?» Honest and apparently innocent people that suffer want to know why and what are they suffering for. Consecrated, true believers that seek God with all their heart, and also suffer want to know why such things happen in their lives. People of all generations have asked these questions.

  • How can we experience God in our life?

    Studying the Bible we see God doing great feats through many people. He was able to realise His intentions using those people just due to their revelation and understanding of God´s key principles. While living in the different times, educated on a different level, belonged to the different cultures all Bible heroes basically have something in common. The secret of the success and feats they had is obvious – they knew God and interacted with Him. They experienced God´s power and His mercy in their lives. How did they succeeded? It became possible because they dedicated themselves to God. That´s exactly what God is inviting us to do.
