Matthew 25: 14-30
In this story it seems as if the Master shows favouritism, but the Master gave according to each of the servants’ potential. Like the Master in the story God knows our potential He will not give us something that He knows we cannot handle. And when Christ comes back He will require an account of how we used our talents. No matter how little you have you must do what you can with what you got. Here are examples of some talents.
Talent of speech
This important talent must be cultivated in the right way. Colossians 4:6 Ephesians 4:29 Let your speech always be with grace because it is a gift from God.
Talent of Influence
Throw a pebble into a lake and it forms ripples that reach the shore. There are many people who are influential. Use thus talent wisely
Just like in the story talents used are talents multiplied. God expects us to use our talents so that he can bless us with more. Every talent that is not used will weaken and decay. How you use your talents reveals your character.
How are you using your talents?
