Matthew 25:15, 20-21 NLT
Read 25:15 skip down to 20-21
He gave five bags of silver to one, two bags of silver to another, and one bag of silver to the last—dividing it in proportion to their abilities. He then left on his trip. The servant to whom he had entrusted the five bags of silver came forward with five more and said, ‘Master, you gave me five bags of silver to invest, and I have earned five more.’ “The master was full of praise. ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together! ’“
We have all been given talents and responsibilities. We all have different talents and gifts that we are able to utilize to overcome every obstacle in our lives. In order to maximize what God has given, we are to yield every area of our lives to the Holy Spirit.
For example when I am challenged I ask God to show me His perspective. I need to see how you see this situation or this person. Help me Lord? Come back to your First Love by repentance, seeking the Lord, concentrating on him, praying with out ceasing, and having The Fear Of God
God is maturing us to carry and release His Glory. We should prepare ourselves to enter every door with boldness as Jesus open doors that no man can shut. As we advance Gods kingdom in our home, jobs, through technology, and everywhere we go we must still flow with Holy Spirit and follow his lead. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart Lean not onto thine own understanding in all thy ways acknowledge Him and He will direct thy path.
Jesus has the keys to death hell and the grave and he also has the keys to our assignment. Everything we are and are to become is all in him. I’ve learned firsthand that when we seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness all things will be added to you.
A Testimony:
Four Months ago The Holy Spirit prompted me to call my friend mark. As he answered the phone he advised me he was a little down and feeling stuck at the moment. He advised me he was not getting along with his father at the moment They have a family business together Mark chose to step away. I prayed for Mark.
In a vision “I heard Mark’s son asking him to make tacos. Mark began to get excited and share with me different dishes and food he likes to cook.” Later, while speaking with Mark, he shared when he cooks he receive’s downloads on seasonings and recipes etc. I said mark that is it. That is one of your talents God has blessed you with!
The Holy Spirit then showed me two food trucks. As I leaned in to what I was seeing in the spirit The Holy Spirit gave me revelation and understanding. I prophesied to Mark. I said to him as he consecrates himself to the Lord I saw people around Mark cooking. I said to him, God will send people to you to disciple and mentor. You will feed many with natural food and spiritual food (The Word of God) In the food trucks.
Mark called me Dec 21 2023 to testify what all happened since the last time we spoke. He shared that he went to eat lunch at a barbecue restaurant and enjoyed the food. On his birthday he decided to go back with his wife and he met the owner. The owner stopped by his table they both started talking and in that conversation The Holy Spirit gave a word to Mark to share with the owner. They exchanged number’s and began talking. The owner asked Mark to come by to speak to him and his team. There at the meeting he asked Mark if he could start a Bible study with them. Mark said yes and also shared with the owner his passion for cooking.
The owner gave Mark an opportunity to come cook at an event that the owner was hosting. After that the owner was lead to share with Mark that he had two brand new food trucks on his property that he did not know what to do with them. The owner offered the food trucks to Mark for free In hope for Mark to start a food truck business in the Brandon area.
The Holy Spirit led Mark to the divine geographical location (Barbecue restaurant) and walked into a divine appointment meeting with the owner. God opened the door that no man can close and Mark walked through the opened door. Now Mark will be using his talents and gifts that God gave him to advance God’s Kingdom in Brandon Florida.
(Analogy) Who all has played Super Mario Brother’s?
The best part is picking different characters and although they all have different talents and tools to over come every obstacle they can each complete on the boards. We are the same as those characters. All of us are different, but we all have The same Holy Spirit that gives us dunamis power.
*google definition says: Dunamis power, deals with the power given to individuals to perform certain miracles, signs, and wonders, including healing and the ability to prophesy and speak in tongues.
In the Mario games they have an adversary assigned to each level which tries to stop and take you out . But like the game itself we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us.
Three weeks ago I was at work on my way to my route. I was at a red light. The light turned green and just as I was about to go The Holy Spirit prompted me to wait. To my surprise a semi trailer truck ran the red light. If I did not listen, as I would have made a left turn, that truck would have hit the left side of my vehicle. The enemy tried a planned attack. As I sat there stunned all I could say was “Thank you Jesus for Protecting me and guiding me into all truth.” Weapons will be formed but they shall not prosper!
While we are advancing God’s Kingdom in the earth, three things will last forever—”faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.“
God's Love never fails!
