Every new day is a gift from God to people living on the earth. God made every person for a particular purpose. And in order to fulfil this purpose He endowed EVERY ONE OF US with His gifts and talents. God loves variety, so the talents He has abundantly bestowed upon people are immensely various.\r\n\r\nLet\u2019s look at Jesus\u2019 parable of talents.\r\n
\u00abFor the kingdom of heaven is like a man travelling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey. Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents. And likewise he who had received two gained two more also. But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord\u2019s money. After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them.<\/h6>\r\n
So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, \u2018Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.\u2019 His lord said to him, \u2018Well 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.\u2019 He also who had received two talents came and said, \u2018Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.\u2019 His lord said to him, \u2018Well 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.\u2019<\/h6>\r\n
Then he who had received the one talent came and said, \u2018Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed. And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is your.\u2019<\/h6>\r\n
But his lord answered and said to him, \u2018You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed. So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.<\/h6>\r\n
For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth\u00bb\u00a0(Mathew, 25:14-30).<\/h6>\r\nUnfortunately, some translations are missing a very important sentence in verse 30: \u201eHe who has ears, let him hear!<\/u>\u00bb<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Please, pay attention to the things we will discuss today.\r\n\r\nThe source of our potential is God Himself.\r\n
\u00a0\u00abFor the kingdom of heaven is like a man travelling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them\u00bb(Mathew, 25:14).<\/h6>\r\nBased on this verse we can see that the Lord CALLED His servants. We are talking about\u00a0the calling<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nYour calling is from the Lord. God is the initiator of your calling. God calls us. He calls every person. It is very important what we do with our calling. It is important to understand that it is God, not us that issue the calling. He calls us based on our potential. He sees what we are able to do, because He knows what He has bestowed upon us. God calls every person, and He equips every person with the gifts he needs to fulfil that calling. Thus, we shouldn\u2019t play games concerning our calling; – we have to work to fulfil it. In John (15:16) Jesus said:\r\n
\u00abYou did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that\u00a0you should go<\/u>\u00a0and\u00a0bear fruit<\/u>, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you\u00bb.<\/h6>\r\nSomeone may think,\u00a0\u00abAnd how do I find out what my calling is?\u00bb Many people still thin in their minds, \u00abIf I knew my calling, I would answer it. The problem is that I do not know my calling\u00bb.\r\n\r\nI will try to answer these questions and thoughts.\r\n\r\nTo every person that does not know his calling yet, I advise\u00a0to be obedient to God on daily basis<\/strong>. If you will be obedient to God in your daily walk, then you will learn your calling; you will hear God and understand what He is calling you to.\r\n\r\nDaily obedience to God will bring a person to full realization of his or her calling. The big picture or the global project consists of multitude of small detail. As the saying goes, \u00abEvery trip starts with the first step\u00bb.\r\n\r\nRepentance is the first step. After you repent of your sins, Jesus becomes your Lord. What does that mean? The Lordship of Jesus implies doing of what He tells you. Daily obedience to God in different areas of your life will bring you to your calling.\r\n\r\nWe will continue about it tomorrow!\r\n\r\nGod bless you!\r\n\r\nPastor Rufus Ajiboye","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"To every person that does not know his calling yet, I advise to be obedient to God on daily basis.
