I've been thinking about the parable of the guys who had a mixture of talents and about the guy who buried his. Why would you bury a gift unless you didn't realise what it truly affected.
God gave us His Holy Spirit to empower us to expand His Kingdom and through that, God gave us special gifts through the same Spirit that was in Jesus to continue His work here on earth. Why would you bury that??
I'd rather be the guy, with say 5 talents and doubled it, either by saving someone else who developed another 5 Spiritual gifts or two people with 3 gifts and 2, or 5 people with 1 talent each....!
What ways can we bring a profit to our King by using what He has given us?
At our prayer day last week, one of the things God told us is that we're not giving Him enough glory and praise that He deserves - so lets take the focus off us and put Him at the centre of everything!!
All glory to God - He deserves it!
"It was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up"
Ephesians 4:11-12
