God gives to everyone according to his or her ability II

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
I am so happy to be with you today, dear readers of „Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”! Today I would like to continue talking about talents and abilities that are given by God to every person on this earth.You have a talent that matches your ability to handle it, and God desires for you to multiply it. It will affect your future. What you have from God today will determine your place in eternity. Your eternal reward will depend on what you have been doing with your talents. You can either bury your talents or multiply them. You can return to God your talent that He gave you, and say to Him that you did not succeed. You can simply complain about your life and not even try changing or accomplish something in your life.or you can invest your talent and expand His kingdom with it, everything depend on you.
«After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them» (Mathew, 25:19).
Some institutions require annual, monthly or weekly accounts. It is good because accountability helps keep things in order. Taxing authorities require monthly reports, and that forces us to keep our books in order. Possibly, if there hadn’t been such requirements, most of people would have their finances in a mess. Reports and the awareness of the fact, that you will have to give an account, help a person ‘to stay in shape’. The truth is that you will have to give an account for the talents and gifts God has given you.The parable we have been exploring, to shows us that after giving out the talents, the Master was away for a long time. And at that time there were people who thought that in the Master’s absence they could do anything they want to. But it is important to remember that there comes a day for every one of us when we will have to give an account for what we have done with our talents and gifts.What have you been doing with your life? How do you spend your time? What do you do with your properties? What have you been doing with the talents and mental facilities that God has entrusted you? How have you been participating in the building of the Kingdom of God? Have you been investing yourself and your possessions into the building of God’s Kingdom? What have you been doing with yourself?Time will reveal who is doing what, what you have been doing and how you’ve been living. It is very important, but it is also scary. It makes us think on what we are really doing in this life. Those who invest themselves into God’s Kingdom have nothing to worry about or fear. It is one of the reasons why we continually ask and call people to serve the Lord in our churches. Serve the Lord! Do something to build the Kingdom of God! I would really like for each person in this church to multiply the talents God has given him or her.
«So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, „Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.” 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, 25:20-21).
I would be really happy if every person in our church could hear from God: “Well done, good and faithful servant!”Every one of us is a carrier of God’s gifts, and it is our choice whether we multiply them or bury them.May God help you to multiply God given talents by the Spirit of God and use them for God’s Kingdom!Till tomorrow!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • God’s Word being the best means of cleansing for a human heart

    God cleanses me through His Word, so I have to be absorbed in it daily. It might seem to you that you are not getting anything out of it, but it is not so. When we read the Word, we receive deep cleansing, just like people get clean when they bathe. It must be done as often as possible so we would stink spiritually. If you start to notice that you are getting quick-tempered, it means you need to wash it off. If you notice your heart closing up, it means you are not reading the Word and missing the cleansing. If you notice things that do not comply with Christian standards, for example, picking a quarrel, it is a sign of not being in the Word enough.

  • Lay hold on eternal life! III

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    Laying hold of eternal life means that a person strives to stay on the narrow road which leads to eternal life. Jesus knew that it would be so convenient for many to walk the broad road; being on this road, a person feels comfortable and lives without any restrictions; he does what he wants to do and is not limited by any commitments. But the Bible says that it is the way of sin, because a person is not accountable and moves ‘without brakes’, so to speak; this way leads to destruction. God says that we shouldn’t walk on this way. We must flee sin; we must cast aside all the worldly, ungodly things that hinder us, otherwise we won’t get to our destination – eternal life. Jesus says that many people will deny faith.

  • I desire mercy and not sacrifice

    «As Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, „Follow Me.” So he arose and followed Him. Now it happened as Jesus sat at the table in the house, that behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Him and His disciples. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, „Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” When Jesus heard that, He said to them, „Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance» (Mathew, 9:9-13).
