And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. Luke 19:17 KJV
Every person on this earth has been gifted with something that is beneficial.
No one should ever feel that they have nothing to offer.
We prosper in life as we live according to the Word.
Even the smallest of ideals can serve a purpose.
It is up to us to step out in faith and give them a chance.
God has given each of us a position of importance.
But it only happens when we utilize the knowledge, skills, and abilities He has blessed us with.
The parable of the three servants is one example of how we can use our talents.
It tells of how He gave coins to them and how two prospered and one did not (Luke 19:11-27 KJV).
The two used their gifts to increase and help better things when their master returned.
The one hid his gifts with no increase to show.
The coins in our lives are the gifts He has blessed us with.
They are the God-given gifts to be used in our service to Him.
We all have the ability to do something for the Kingdom.
The Father puts us in positions to allow us to utilize our skills.
He wants to acknowledge how well we have done things.
To continue to put us in a position to do more (Luke 19:17 KJV).
He keeps letting us know how valuable our skills are and that He has noticed our efforts.
We are never to have doubts about the importance of what we are doing for the Kingdom.
Those that are called to Christ, He furnishes with gifts needful for their business.
We are not to take anything for granted.
From those to whom He gives power, He expects service.
The fact that even with the small things there is a sense of fulfillment.
The greater our service, the more we show our faithfulness to the goal He has set.
It shows we can be entrusted with even more.
We should never forget that anything we do for Him has value.
He has blessed us to be a blessing to others.
Never feel you have nothing to offer.
Use the gifts He has given you.
A WORD OF PRAYER
Father, we know that You provide each of us with the gifts we need to live according to Your will. They give us power and with it we must rightfully serve. We must never forget that each of us have different talents and that each of them is used in making the Word grow in someone’s life as well as our own. There is nothing like the amazing results that come from it all. Thank You for the gift of the gospel and the wisdom that it brings.
In Jesus’ Name We Pray, Amen
