Recognize Your Treasures

 


Sub-Topic: Discovering Your Unique Gifts.

Biblical Text: Matthew 25:14-15.

Commentary:

The narrative begins with the master entrusting his workers with "talents" (huge quantities of money). This represents the distinct skills and abilities that God bestows on everyone. Our gifts are various, just as the distribution of skills varies. Some people flourish in leadership, while others excel at creativity, teaching, or community service.

Recognizing your abilities is the first step in using them to glorify God. Spend some time thinking about your natural abilities, hobbies, and experiences. What are you excellent at? What gives you joy? Seek advice from reputable friends and relatives.

Prayer: Lord, let me uncover the talents You have given me.

Work Action: Create a list of your abilities and talents. Consider your strengths or hobbies that provide you with satisfaction.

Scripture reference: Romans 12:6-8. "We have diverse talents based on the grace provided to each of us. If your talent is prophecy, prophecy in accordance to your faith; if it is serving, serve; if it is teaching, teach; if it is encouraging, encourage; if it is giving, give abundantly; if it is leading, lead diligently; if it is mercy, show it joyfully."

  Bible Reading : Exodus 2:23-25 Text : "He remembers his covenant forever, the word He commended, for a thousand generation" (Ps. 105:8). NIV COMMENTARY : The Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt.

But the later part was in agony; when the Pharaoh that knew not Joseph reigned, their suffering was so unbearable that they cried unto God, and the Bible says; "God heard their groaning and remembered and remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exo. 2:24, 25). God heard their groaning but what moved him was the covenant. Listen! Your name, tears, knowledge, experience or wealth may not move God but covenant does. You can maintain your covenant with God by walking blamelessly and constantly putting Him in remembrance of the covenant which is the scripture.. As you are about to sleep tonight, I prophesy to you that this year's covenant is moving God for your...

EQUIPPED FOR SPIRITUAL ARMOR

Bible Reading : Ephesians 6:10-13 Text : Eph. 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places". (NKJV) COMMENTARY Every Christian is in a combat field. The conflict is spiritual. When you succeed spiritually, the physical is a work over. The spiritual governs the physical. We are grateful that God provided for our combat weapons rather than abandoning us helplessly. Read More...

GIVE GENEROUSLY

Bible Reading : 11 Corinthians 9:6-12 Text : 2 Corinthians 9:6 "But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully".(NKJV) COMMENTARY Simply put, sparingly implies giving very little compared to what you already have. Giving must be done sacrificially to produce results. That is a generous donation. Giving that doesn't affect you isn't a plentiful seed; a bountiful seed hurts the giver but moves God. When you give to God's work or someone who is unable to repay you, miracles happen.. Read More
