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.

  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...

  Are You a People Pleaser (Matthew 14:6) 06 February 2024   Who are you pleasing today? Some of us are people pleasers. We live our entire lives trying to please people, trying to get their approval and validation. We get pleasure out of pleasing other people, and so we do everything looking for people to be pleased with us.   Are you living your life for people, trying to please people? Some of us try to please ourselves, and we forget people. I AM    pleasing myself, and so all our lives are consumed with self-pleasure, and immediate gratification, and so we live our lives pleasing ourselves, or are you pleasing God? Are you living your life with one purpose: to please God? Are you concerned with whether or not God is pleased with you? At the end of the day, when God says well done, thou good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few things. I will make you rule over me. That’s what I Am living for.   I am living to please God; I desi...

  I AM a Good Tree and I Bring Forth Good Fruit (Matthew 12:3) I AM a good tree, and I bring forth good fruit. I was created that way. When God made everything, He spoke over the creation and said it was good. When He got to human beings, He said not only were we good, but we were very good. Affirm with me today: I AM a good tree because I was created that way. It doesn’t matter what anybody else says; I was created good. God said I was very good.   Good is the essence of who I AM. Because I AM a good tree, not only was I created that way, but I also continue in that way. My good is a continuation of how I was created. Because I AM a good tree and I was created that way, my way of being is good. The energy and aura that come from me that exudes from me are good because I AM a good tree. How I see people, places, and things is good because I AM a good tree. I can’t help but see the good in God and people because I was created that way, so I continue that way. My way of th...
