Today \u2013 through the mercy and love of God &#8211; we have been given one more day, let us use this day to the maximum giving glory to God in all that we do.\r\n\r\nWe have been talking about our gifts and talents and the fact that it is very important what we do with them.\r\n\r\nA\u00a0man 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, \u00abWhat should I do? \u00bb I told him that if he had come to our church he would have heard the same invitation.\r\n\r\nServing Go\u0432 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.\r\n\r\nFind for yourself a place in the Kingdom and then do some quality work. It is not important how old you are \u2013 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.\r\n\r\nWe have already established that gifts are given to everyone.\r\n<h6>\u00abAnd to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability\u00bb\u00a0(Mathew, 25:15).<\/h6>\r\nWe 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.\r\n\r\nHow can we multiply our gifts and talents? What should we do for it to happen? Do you really know your talents?\r\n\r\n<strong>We multiply our talents by using them and putting them to practise.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nWe have to apply our gifts. We must find for ourselves a place in church, in God\u2019s Kingdom. Your barrenness is nobody\u2019s 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 \u201efaithful\u201d contains deep meaning. You can depend on a faithful servant; he is reliable; he never lets down.\r\n\r\nMay God help all of us to become good and faithful servants of the Lord in His Kingdom.\r\n\r\nPastor Rufus Ajiboye","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We have to apply our gifts.
