many people let self and the devil get
in the way and limit their capabilities.
When the master returned, he
wanted to know how the servants had
managed their talents. The servant
who had received the five talents and
the servant who had received the two
talents had both doubled their talents.
The servant who had received just
one talent was full of fear; so instead
of using his talent, he buried it. Child
of God, have you buried your talents
because you don’t feel comfortable or
are afraid to use them for the Lord?
Don’t Be Unprofitable
It didn’t matter to the master how
many talents each servant had; it
mattered what they did with them.
He equally praised the two servants
who increased their talents saying,
Well done, thou good and faithful
servant: thou hast been faithful
over a few things, I will make
thee ruler over many things:
enter thou into the joy of thy lord
When God calls on you to do
something, are you completely willing
to let Him use you? God wants to
use each true child of God, and you
must be willing to be used. Never
take God’s call to duty for granted no
matter how small the task may seem.
God can take the smallest task, and
He can use it to increase our talents
and our abilities for Him.
I want to take you to a parable
found in Matthew. Jesus said, For
the kingdom of heaven is as a
man travelling into a far country,
who called his own servants, and
delivered unto them his goods
(Matthew 25:14).
The man gave each of his servants
talents to manage while he was gone.
And unto one he gave five talents,
to another two, and to another
one; to every man according to his
several ability; and straightway
took his journey (Matthew 25:15).
The master gave each servant what he
knew they were capable of handling.
Jesus knows our capabilities too, but
