THE PARABLE OF THE TALENT

THE PARABLE OF THE TALENTS
MATTHEW 25:14-30

The parable of the talents is about the life of Jesus,he entrusted the lives of souls in the hands of his disciples after he had groomed them and the promise to send the holy Spirit.

Here on Earth,souls has been entrusted into our hands according to our abilities.

The master according to Matt25 vs14-30 is Jesus Christ. He was going on a journey (talking about his Ascension into heaven). He entrusted his properties (Souls) in the hands of his disciples according to their abilities.No wonder only Peter preached Christ to the people on the day of Pentecost and three thousand people accepted the message and we're baptised.

He gave five talents to one(five unsaved souls). The servant went immediately to put the souls to work.i.e he led them to Christ,made sure they are in christ.he nursed and mentored them until they are fully grown to lead others to Christ and to bear fruits. The five souls the master place in his hand grew in the wisdom and knowledge of God. They knew God personally and these souls were able to reach out to other lost souls and won them( 5 of them brought one souls each into the kingdom)
Same with the servant with two talents( two souls).

The servant that was given one talent was so careless and lazy. That is why we must deal with laziness.
He was so careful about his own life rather than the life of a lost soul. He was moving with that soul to the extent that he blocked every means any other person could speak with him about christ without ever opening his mouth to tell him about christ. The servant was not concerned with the Masters business. So the talent(soul) never yielded increase because *the unsaved cannot save the unsaved*

Matt25:27, The master said that the servant with one talents should have kept it with the bankers. " The bankers means people who are sold out to the work of the ministry, those who are ever eager to reach out to lost souls"

 *Since you can't preach to that soul,why not allow others preach to him instead of hanging around him*
He would have been saved and yielded increase.
God will demand that soul from you if he is totally destroyed and that can be a stumbling block for you to get to heaven. There is a difference between I preached to him but he didn't yield and I didn't talk to her about christ atall. It's a sin and can hinder us from getting to heaven.

Why not reachout to lost souls today

God bless you

WHERE ARE YOU

The first question God asked man was "Where are you" Where you are determines how far you will go in life. You have been placed in a particular location by God And that location is where you would fulfill destiny. Sometimes we ask ourselves why God has created us to be born into the family we find ourselves But yet, your presence in that family isn't a mistake You are in that family to fulfill a purpose. You have been created as man because God has equipped you with so much potentials You were not born empty So if you are not making use of those potentials to glorify God Then, you are making a big mistake. Now, Making use of those potentials to glorify God is a subject to your location.  *Where are you?* Are you in the presence of God or Outside? It is in the presence of God that we find fullness of Joy And it is the joy we find in the presence of God that gives us inspiration in the fulfillment of our purpose on Earth. You get to know your purpose through/in God and God ...

THE WILDERNESS

THE WILDERNESS Alone in the wilderness I shouted But no one could hear my voice Look around But no one seems to be there with me It was terrifying I was frightened I ran and ran But, I don't just know where I was heading to The lion came roaring Wanting to devour me And make my flesh food I kept running I just can't think I don't just know how I got there No one around to explain how I got to the wilderness Then,I remembered That I serve the lion of the tribe of Judah My God is a lion Then I am a lion Then I shouldn't be afraid I stopped I faced the lion the same way David did And I said to the lion You can't devour me You can't make my flesh meat and my blood wine Even though I am lost in the wilderness I can still trace my steps out of the wilderness The lion was amazed It went back While I kept walking and working Until I was out Out of the wilderness.

A CALL TO REPENTANCE

A CALL TO REPENTANCE The dream I had So many weeping In total dismay No one wishes to console another I moved closer Noticed they just lost a dear one I was sad in my spirit I said to them This is how it's going to be one day That day we would notice We can't talk,walk,move our body,Contribute to discussions Then, What would be our gain without Christ After all the labour and struggles on Earth What would be our hope If all we had done on Earth is to please the self in us(fresh) The flesh leaves us And deliver our spirit for judgement So what is then our gain pleasing the flesh And then, The bus arrived The bus called repentance Which was ready to convey as many who repents to salvation  For as long as the breathe of life is still at work in you You still have a second chance *Surrender* Your friend, ✍🏼 Olayinka Beatrice Akinfolase.
