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

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

    The principle of love protects our hearts, emotions and our life from injuries and bruises. Hatred, evil, betrayal, cruelty and lack of understanding among people will multiply at the last days. Jesus never sinned, while people back-bit Him anyway. But, how Jesus reacted to that back-biting? He never replied with back-biting, never tried to overcome evil with evil. He knew it would not work this way, quite opposite it would have increased the amount of evil, pain, emotional injuries and hatred in the life of a person who tries to overcome evil with evil.

    « Because I have called, and you have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention; … Then will they call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me; Because they hated knowledge, And didn’t choose the fear of Yahweh. » (Proverbs 1:24, 28, 29).In these verses God tells us about the necessity to change our attitude towards His call, otherwise He would not listen to our calling the time we run to Him with our petitions. Forget about your own problems and take part in finding solutions for the needs and problems God has today, He will become a part of a solution for your problems then.

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life» (Proverbs, 4:20-23). Based on this Scripture, we can argue that the course of your life, my destiny or yours should not depend on somebody else but on ourselves. You must take charge of your life and destiny!

    «The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes» (Psalm 19:8-9).This passage of Scriptures tells us that one of the sources of joy is God’s Word, meditation on the Word and the perception of the (our) world through the prism of the Word. That is why it is so important for us to realize that if we want to remain in joy and learn to draw joy, we must grow in love with God’s Word.

    God gives to us gifts according to our ability, so He does not call us to do the thigs we are not able to. If God has asked you to do something, it is only because He knows you are able to do it. He won’t give you more than you are able to bear. Simply use what you have.I once read a story about a woman who built a school for the needy. Before she began this, a desire was born in her heart to do it. It became her dream that she was thinking of consistently. At that moment she did not have a thing: no textbooks, no teachers, no building, and no money. But she did have a tremendous desire to fulfil her dream.
