TOPIC: The Danger of the Burial of Your Talents
FIRE SCRIPTURE
Matthew 25:14-30
OUTLINE
What you do with your God-given talent will determine your output in life. Never bury your talent. It is dangerous to do so. This is the kernel of today’s devotional study. A lot of families are being wasted. It is the waster that circulates a woman from one husband to the other and also circulates a man from one wife to another.
Somebody came to me and said that she wanted to marry. I asked her whether she had found God’s chosen one for her and she said: yes. The man she wanted to marry was 57 years old, while she was only 48. She further told me that the man had married five times and all the wives were dead. Unfortunately, the sister could not see that the man had the spirit of the wasters working on him.
We should learn from the predicament of the Israelites who wasted all the opportunities to hear the Lord by themselves. So also did Esau wasted all his opportunities. If the powers of the wasters were to be working on blind Bartimaeus, he would have missed his healing. But, he refused to lose the opportunity. Some are wasting their talents. They are using them to glorify the devil. Some are even burying theirs.
There are many things that could get a Christian to hell fire. But one which is clear in the Bible, is burying one’s talent. The Fellow burying his talent will become like the unprofitable steward who said, “You gave me one talent and since I did not see you and because I was afraid, and know that you wanted to reap where you did not sow, I buried it.” The master had no other option than to throw him into outer darkness where there was weeping and gnashing of teeth.
MEMORY VERSE
Zechariah 8:16“These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:”
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE
The truth of the matter is that lie may travel a thousand miles but sooner or later the truth will catch up with it.
PROPHETIC WORD
Any power that has been stealing from me, I shall repossess all I have lost in the name of Jesus.
HYMN – HOLY, HOLY, HOLY! LORD GOD ALMIGHTY!
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!
Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Who was, and is, and evermore shall be.
Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy Name, in earth, and sky, and sea;
Holy, holy, holy; merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!
