Settling Accounts: The Kingdom of Few & Many

Settling Accounts The Kingdom Key of Few & Many

READ | Matthew 25:14-31

When the lord returned from his journey, he settled his accounts with all his servants. Because he expected each of them to have an increase, he settled accounts to see how much they had obtained. The servant with the five talents brought back five more talents. He doubled his talents. The servant with two talents brought back two more talents. He also doubled his talents.

In the Kingdom it is not about equal amounts but about equal production. Both the one with the two talents and the one with the five talents doubled their investments. Although they were handling a different number of talents, they reproduced the same percentage of increase. Just as it is with tithing. Our tithe amount may be different but when we tithe, we have all given the same amount, 10%.

The servant with the one talent did not have an increase. He hid his talent in the ground out of fear of loss. He did not want to take a chance in investing and lose the one talent that he was given. Therefore, he only gave back to the lord what he was given. There was no change or increase with the servant who had one talent. The talent was in the same condition that it was before the lord left for the journey. Although the lord gave the servant the gift of one talent, the servant did have a gift to give to the lord. Eleanor Powell stated, “What we are is God's gift to us. What we become is our gift to God.”

  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...

  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...

  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...
