Talent Distribution The Kingdom Key of Few & Many

Talent Distribution The Kingdom Key of Few & Many

READ | Matthew 25:14-31 “To whom much is given much is required (Luke 12:48).”

In today’s reading, there were three men who represented three different states of consciousness. The lord gave each one of them a different number of talents. One person was given five talents. Another person was given two talents. Yet another was given one talent. Each person was given talents according to his ability and his divine purpose. Talent distribution was not based on everyone having an equal number of talents, but it was based on each person’s ability to handle the talents that he was given.

God has created each one of us and knows how much we can bear. God knows how much we can handle. Each of us has the capacity to carry something but how much we can carry is different. Therefore, there is no benefit in comparing ourselves to others, comparing what we do to what others do or comparing how much we do to others because each of us are unique manifestations of God.

Everyone is not a multitasker. Some people have a one-track mind. Others can juggle a couple of things well. Then there are those who function best when they have several things to manage at the same time. It is important for us to discern which type of servant we are and how much we can effectively handle so that we are not overwhelmed or underworked. It is God’s will that each of us produce according to our maximum potential. It is God’s desire that each of us live a holistically healthy, balanced, and well-rounded life.

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God. Why am I having this test, this trial, this tribulation? So God can get the glory. Why am I experiencing this persecution, this headache, this pain? So, God can get the glory. Why am I witnessing this miracle, sign, or wonder? So, God can get the glory. Why am I having this challenge in my local assembly, in my ministry, in my business, and in my organization? So God can get the...

The Sacred Sunday Posture:  Kneeling “ A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees; if you are willing, you can make me clean (Mark 1:40).” In addition to bowing your heads and closing your eyes, many people learn to “get on your knees and pray.” Often, it’s at night before going to sleep. Parents instruct their children to kneel on the side of the bed and say their prayers. Perhaps you have fond memories of kneeling and reciting the Lord’s Prayer or the 23 rd Psalm. Or maybe you were taught, like me, “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake. I pray the Lord, my soul, to take. God bless mommy, daddy...” Kneeling is a physical way to revere God as your Creator and remember that God is your Source. “Know that it is the Lord, who is God. It is he that has made us and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3).” Without reverencing and ...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
