We multiply our talents by using them and putting them to practise

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Peace and grace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ! Today – through the mercy and love of God – we have been given one more day, let us use this day to the maximum giving glory to God in all that we do.We have been talking about our gifts and talents and the fact that it is very important what we do with them.A man once told me that he was fed up with listening to his pastor calling the people to serve in the church. This person asked me, «What should I do? » I told him that if he had come to our church he would have heard the same invitation.Serving Goв is something that is necessary for us, not God. When we serve God it tranforms our character, makes us stronger and draws us closer to Him.Find for yourself a place in the Kingdom and then do some quality work. It is not important how old you are – young or old. Serve Him and build His Kingdom! Every single day you should apply the gifts of God for His glory. Seek out the ways to promote His Kingdom through all your gifts. Also, you should continuously study, develop your capabilities and grow.We have already established that gifts are given to everyone.
«And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability» (Mathew, 25:15).
We do not need to compare our talents with the talents of other people. We are given ability that matches our talents, not talents of another person. Not having a particular talent, I am not able to do what other person does that has the talent. Having a talent or not having it does not make one person better than another. Every one of us is the best for God. Even the person from the parable that received only one talent is the best for God. God did not give him one talent because considered him to be a bad person. No, God gave him one talent, because his abilities were on the level of one talent. God did not want give him more than he could bear or manage. God does not want to destroy us; He wants to stretch us. God gave you the talents to multiply them.How can we multiply our gifts and talents? What should we do for it to happen? Do you really know your talents?We multiply our talents by using them and putting them to practise.We have to apply our gifts. We must find for ourselves a place in church, in God’s Kingdom. Your barrenness is nobody’s fault, but yours. Learn to apply your talents and do it well. Whatever you do, do it well to be called a good and faithful servant. The word „faithful” contains deep meaning. You can depend on a faithful servant; he is reliable; he never lets down.May God help all of us to become good and faithful servants of the Lord in His Kingdom.Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    We must keep God’s call to change right before our eyes as one of the most important goals. As soon as we come to God and enter His Kingdom, the desire to change and grow into the likeness of Jesus should be our single desire and our daily bread. And when we start changing, the things around us will change along with the inward changes we experience. Then the most awful situation will change for better and terrible problems will be solved. All of this will happen along with the transformation of our character in the process of the spiritual growth.
