David says in his psalm:\r\n
\u00abBut I will sing of Your power; yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning; for You have been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. To You, O my Strength, I will sing praises, for God is my defence, my God of mercy\u00bb\u00a0(Psalm 59:16-17).<\/h6>\r\nGod is our strength! He is our defence! He is the One who shows mercy every day! Let\u2019s lift Him up in the morning, afternoon and evening, for He is good!\r\n\r\nGod has created every one of us in His likeness and according to His image.\u00a0He is the Creator. Every day He makes all things new. His Spirit abides in us, and He makes us able to do good works. The Holy Spirit reveals to us the will of the Father and His calling for our lives. God looks at us as creators and carriers of life. God has given every one of us gifts and talents. He has strategically placed us in a specific place and time. And He desires for us to bring forth fruit in His Kingdom through the use of our gifts and talents. You have not appeared on this earth by accident; God has a purpose for your life. He has created you and He has also left for you the manual for your life \u2013 His Word. Through the examples of Biblical characters, He wants to teach us the principles of His Kingdom.\r\n\r\nToday we will talk about the servants from Jesus\u2019 parable about talents in more detail.\r\n
\u00abSo he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, \u2018Do business till I come\u2019\u00bb\u00a0(Luke, 19:13).<\/h6>\r\nThe master called his servants and delivered gifts to them. He left them with some specific instructions what they need to do with these talents, – which was to do business with them and multiply them.\r\n\r\nLet\u2019s look at these people and what the master said about their work after he had returned.\r\n
\u00abThen he who had received the five talents\u00a0went<\/u>\u00a0and\u00a0traded with them<\/u>, and\u00a0made<\/u>\u00a0another five talents. And likewise he who had received tow gained two more also\u00bb\u00a0(Mathew, 25:16-17).<\/h6>\r\nWe see here that the first two men were prepared. As soon as they got the talents from their master, they went and started to do as they had been told. It says here that they\u00a0went<\/u>,\u00a0used their talents<\/u>\u00a0and\u00a0gained some more talents<\/u>. These people did not waste any time; they worked hard to make profit.\r\n\r\nThese people were not afraid to overwork, because they wanted to be useful\u00a0and profitable for their master. The first man added five more talents, and the second one \u2013 two more talents to the ones he already had.\r\n\r\nToday God is calling us not to waste any time. Time is short! Time goes! Jesus said that He must work while it is still day, while it is still light, before the night falls.\r\n
\u00abThen Jesus said to them, \u201eA little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going\u00bb\u00a0(John, 12:35).<\/h6>\r\nWe must work for the Kingdom of God while we still have our strength and our health.\u00a0As long as we still can think and be creative, we must not waste our time; and we should be afraid to work hard.\r\n\r\nThe master gave his assessment to these two servants:\r\n
\u201cHis 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\u201d\u00a0(Mathew, 25:23).<\/h6>\r\nIt\u00a0makes sense to invest oneself into the work of God\u2019s Kingdom, because there is a reward and promotion awaiting us from the King of kings and the Lord of lords \u2013 Jesus Christ!\r\n\r\nMay God bless you this day!\r\n\r\nPastor Rufus Ajiboye","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00abBut I will sing of Your power; yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning; for You have been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
