RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY 8TH JANUARY 2022
In Matthew 25, Jesus talked about three servants who were entrusted with talents. One was entrusted with one talent, another with two talents, and the third, five talents (Talent being a weight measuring standard, usually of money, e.g. talents of silver). The talents were given to them on the basis of their abilities. So, what their master was looking out for was their faithfulness.
The one who got five talents came back with 100% success (Matthew 25:20). The one that was given two talents gained two more, which was also 100% (Matthew 25:22). But the servant that was given one talent was a disappointment to his master.
He said, “Master, I know you very well; you like to reap where you didn’t sow; therefore, I kept your talent for you” (Matthew 25:24). He did nothing with it.
Evidently, he was a bellyacher. His life was never productive. He had only the ability to manage one talent, and he still ruined his chances. His master called him wicked and unprofitable because he desired him to be faithful. It’s the same with the Lord. As read in our
theme verse, we’re all so uniquely graced and gifted by God, and He seeks faithfulness; He expects results. You may wonder, “How do I know what’s expected of me?” It’s simple: You know what’s expected of you by what you’ve been told.
The ability of God is given through His message; His Word. What
did He expose you to? What information did He give you? When you analyze what He’s told you, you’ll understand His expectation of you.
Whatever the Lord has taught you or is teaching you, whatever He’s exposed you to and helped you
to know are all for the furtherance of the Gospel.
Therefore, find the opportunity to use them to advance His righteousness and the reign of His Kingdom in the earth.
Remember, He tests your faithfulness. If you’re faced with certain challenges or difficulties in carrying out what He’s asked you to do, your only option should be to win! Don’t have excuses. Be fully committed to the furtherance of the Gospel.
Remain steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. Surely, at the end of all things, the Lord will say to you, “…Well done, thou good and faithful servant…” (Matthew 25:21).
CONFESSION
The Lord has blessed me with abundant graces in Christ for the furtherance of the Gospel, and I’ll be faithful. My life is for His glory and the expansion of His glorious Kingdom
