God has given us all talents and abilities, so that we can give glory to Him.
He made us to be a Temple of His Holy Spirit in which He can dwell.
We are the light of the world and Jesus must dwell in us.
Our talents and our abilities must be applied for the Kingdom of God.
Jesus said:"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth where rust and moth destroy
but store up for yourselves treasure in Heaven where moth and rust do not destroy, because
where your treasure is there your heart will be also."
Many people only apply their talents and their efforts for their own gain, for their own
pleasure and they have no interest in the Kingdom of God.
Their treasure is on this earth.
They have no business in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Dear friend, you will lose it all.
Everything that we accumulate on this earth, we will lose.
It doesn’t matter how much you accumulate.
It doesn’t matter what you achieve, you will lose it.
The moment you die, all you will have left is your treasure that you have stored up in
Heaven, that which you have done for the Kingdom of God.
Jesus has called us to be witnesses.
One of the biggest treasure He has given us is a voice that we can speak, that we can
testify for Him but many believers do not testify for Jesus because they don’t know
Jesus.
Many of them deny Jesus, they disown Him and He said that whoever disowns Him, in front
of this wicked generation, He will also disown them in front of His Heavenly Father.
Where is our treasure?
What are we applying ourselves to?
Are we busy with ourselves, our own pleasure, our next holiday, the things that we want
or are we concerned about the Kingdom of Heaven?
Because Jesus said: "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the other
things will be added unto you."
There is nothing more satisfying and more lasting than to invest yourself into the Kingdom
of God, to apply yourself to the Kingdom of God, to apply your talents to the Kingdom
of God.
We all know the parable of the talents, the person who received 10 the other with 5 the
other 1, and how the one who had one talent went and He buried it.
We also know his end.
That which he had was taken away from him and he was cast out in utter darkness, but
those who had applied their talents and multiplied their talents receive more talents.
What are we doing with our talents?
Are we applying them for the Kingdom of God or are we squandering them and hiding them?
Where is our treasure and what will we have to show when we stand before Jesus?
May Jesus bless you.
