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.

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...

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

  The Kingdom is About Growth (Matthew 13:24-30)   The kingdom is about growth, not condemnation, judgment, sin, abomination, transgression, or iniquity. The kingdom of God is about growth. Jesus said it is like wheat and weeds, or "tares," as some versions say. As you grow, once you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t just get what you get; you also get weeds. As you keep growing, you will outgrow any behavior, any way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, or acting that is not like God; you will outgrow it. Stop trying to pull up the weeds and keep growing. Stop trying to put people out of your life because some of the people you think are weeds are really wheat, and some of the people you feel are wheat might not be. Just keep growing, and it will automatically separate. Jesus said the growth in the kingdom is like a mustard seed. It starts as the smallest seed, but it’s potent. So do not despise the days of small beginnings; keep growing. Don’t compare yourself to a...
