Yesterday we saw what the first two servants did after they received their assignment from the master. We also saw how the master assessed their effort. He called them good and faithful servants. We talked about the fact that these people did not waste any time and got to work; they worked hard until they made profit from what they were given. The master appreciated their work and promoted them and gave them even more. They heard amazing words spoken about them:\r\n<h6>\u00abHis 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\u00bb\u00a0(Mathew, 25:23).<\/h6>\r\nSome people get tired and need help even before they start to do something significant. But tell me! Is it possible that you need rest or take a break from God? Is it possible that you need rest from serving Him? No! We can serve God everywhere. You can be on a plane and serve people who sit by you. You can serve God on a beach, at work, everywhere; because in all of these places there are people who need God.\r\n\r\nThe Bible describes a situation when Jesus and His disciples\u00a0were tired and went to solitary place to get away from the people and recuperate.\r\n<h6>\u00abAnd He said to them, \u201eCome aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.\u201d For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat. So they departed to a deserted place in the boat by themselves\u00bb\u00a0(Mark, 6:31-32).<\/h6>\r\nBut Jesus did not really rest because multitude of people came to this place.\r\n<h6>\u00abBut the multitudes saw them departing, and many knew Him and ran there on foot from all the cities\u00bb\u00a0(Mark, 6:33).<\/h6>\r\nJesus did not tell these people that He was tired and could not minister to them. No, the Bible says quite the opposite.\r\n<h6>\u201eAnd Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. So he began to teach them many things\u201d\u00a0(Mark, 6:34).<\/h6>\r\nMany believers are afraid to\u00a0overwork themselves when serving God and people. Some consider that they show God a favour when they come to church on Sundays. Some think that coming to church for two Sundays in a row is too much and too hard, because Sundays are for rest.\r\n\r\nIn order for you to use your gifts and talents you need to be wise. You should not give yourself to just anything, but you should get ready, get qualified and grow. You must multiply your knowledge and grow in different areas of your life, so that you can invest yourself and your talents.\r\n\r\nGod desires to see these three things in His Church:\r\n\r\n&#8211; that we are not afraid to work;\r\n\r\n&#8211; that we do not waste time;\r\n\r\n&#8211; that we prepare ourselves and grow, thus making ourselves useful and profitable, being able to utilize the gifts given to us by God.\r\n\r\nHow are you using your time today? What are you doing to get more qualified and develop your talents?\r\n\r\nThese things should be taken into consideration, and if you do that, some things might change after today.\r\n\r\nTill tomorrow!\r\n\r\nPeace of God be with you!\r\n\r\nPastor Rufus Ajiboye","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00abHis 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.
