The Parable of the Talent

Lessons from the Parable of the Talents 

——————————————————-

“For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods. Matt.25:13-40

1. Success is a product of our effort. We must put in work. It is the effort that we “put in” that the master is looking for. We cannot put in effort and energy into something  and the situation remains the same. 

💡God measures our success by our effort. 

2. We were have all it takes. We have greatness within us. You have all the tools you need within you to produce a successful life. 

💡I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me. Phil 4:13

3. We are gifted differently and according to our abilities. The  bible states clearly the master gives to each servant talents, “…each according to his ability.”

💡Make the best out  of what we have. Make it count.

4. God has entrusted us His property! We are stewards. Our talents, gifts, children, spouses, parents, our own bodies, the air we breath and everything we are and we have belong to our master. He has allowed us to borrow them, one day he’s coming back for his property. What will we present back to him? 

💡Honor God by doing your best with what He has given you or where he has-placed you. It is not a coincidence it is for a divine purpose.

We are responsible for what we do with what’s entrusted to us. One day we will stand before Him and give an account of what we did with our lives.
