3^RD , APRIL 2022

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Numbers 35, Numbers 36:1-12, Luke 9:28-56, Psalm 40:9-17

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Matthew 25:19-30

19 After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them.

20 “So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’ 

21 His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ 

22 He also who had received two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.’ 

23 His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’

24 “Then he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 

25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.’

26 “But his lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed. 

27 So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. 

28 So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.

29 ‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. 

30 And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

I want you to understand that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are given by God as He wills. No man can choose what he wants. He gives you what He wants you to have for His own purpose. The Bible says that there are diversities of gifts, differences of administrations and diversities of operations but the same Spirit. These gifts are given to serve God, to accomplish things and for common good and profit (1 Corinthians 12;4-7).

Remember what happened in the case of Moses and Aaron. When Moses complained that he was not capable due to his speech impairment. God said, He would make Aaron his mouthpiece. You would wonder why God didn't simply give the assignment to Aaron (Exodus 4:10-16). But He is God and knows best.





Beloved, the question is: what is your own gift? Have you discovered the gift of God in your life? If your answer is yes, what have you done or are you doing with it? These gifts are given for work, and not for play. At the end of the day, there are rewards but you must give account first of your work before the reward is given. Revelation 22:12 says, "And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be." I encourage you to pray, identify God's gift in your life and put them to good use to serve God, His Kingdom and mankind. God bless you as you heed this piece of advice, in Jesus' name.
