“To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away.” Mathew 25:29
“One key to breaking financial hardship is partaking in Investments. “
Every human living has a hidden treasure deposited into him/her by God. It is required of such human to discover it. When found, it would help destinies kept in your care to swim from the water of confusion to the shore of possibilities.
In Matthew 25:14-30, A wealthy man was going on a long trip. He called together his servants and entrusted his money to them. He gave five bags of silver to the first servant, two bags of silver to the second servant, and one bag to the third servant. He gave it to them according to their abilities. The first servant invested the money and earned five more. The servant with two bags did the same and earned two more. The last servant dug a hole and hid his money.
God has given each person a wide variety of gifts, and he expects us to channel those gifts to serve him. It is not acceptable to put those gifts in a closet and ignore them. Like the three servants, we do not have the same gift. The return God expects of us is to use the gifts we are given. The servant who received one talent was not condemned for failing to reach the five-talent goal; he was condemned because he did nothing with what he was given and as a result, he was thrown into “outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Some treasures that can be found in individual lives include: skills, talents, gifts, abilities, resources, experience, and more. This parable simply states that we should use whatever we have been given for God’s purposes. We are to invest in our lives, skills, and abilities to keep our Father elated. You may have a sonorous voice, an artistic hand, burning eyes, a dancing shoe or be an entity with a fount of knowledge. But whatever it may be that has been deposited in you, should glorify Abba.
