Chapter TWO

HIDDEN TALENT

This is a situation whereby someone discovers or knows his talent, ability, purpose and special assignment on earth yet unable to fulfill it because of some circumstances.

A person may discover that he should be a medical doctor, yet that person may live all his/her life without fulfilling or serving that purpose just because of some hindrances.

A man may discover that he is musically gifted and keeps pursuing that dreams but due to financial problem he is unable to reach that goal. He may decided to pursue some other career that he could easily achieve, but neglecting his natural gift and ability. His generation would not be able to experience or be blessed by what God has put in him. Such talent is said to be hidden.

May the stubborn circumstances you find yourself now not be able to stop you from displaying what God has deposited in you in the Jesus name. 

If your purpose on earth is difficult for you to fulfill don’t give up on it, try harder, push on and trust God. You will surely achieve your goal.

Let’s look at Jesus’ parable of the talent in the book of Matthew 25:14-30, the first thing Jesus pointed out in this parable was ENTRUSTMENT. 
He said; a man going on a journey called and entrusted his property to his servants according to their abilities. What talent do you have? What gift have you discovered in you? What is your special calling? I mean what has God entrusted to you? Any gift you found in you is entrusted to you by God. He will definitely call you to give account of it. God gave to you according to the ability he has placed in you, so never you despise the worth of your talent no matter how little you think it is. Please invest it!

The Bible says the men who received five and two talents respectively went at once and put it to work and gain twice the amount. But the one who received one talent went and dug the ground and hid the talent. He hid it because;

(1). He did not value it. 
(2). He was lazy. 
(3). He was wicked.
(4) He was greedy.


WHAT IS YOUR PLAN NOW?

Do you really want to forgo your ability, gift, that special calling from God because you don’t value it or it’s not lucrative or you are lazy about it? Hope you are not wicked and greedy like that wicked servant? Imitate the first two men and put your talent to work.

Do you want to receive compliment for your life on earth? Then put to work what God has put in you. The first two servants received a huge compliment; “good and faithful servant”. You can also receive such compliment from God when you do what he asked of you. Be faithful and fruitful with the little you have so you can receive more. If you can’t handle earthly talent, who will give you heavenly talent? If you can’t take care of someone else’s house, who will give you a house of your own?

“Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents.  For everyone who has will be given more and he will have abundance.  Whoever does not have even what he has will be taken from him.  And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth”. Mathew 25:28-30.

Hell fire awaits those who do not fulfill God’s purpose and plan for their lives. I pray for you that what you have may not be taken from you in Jesus name.

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 23rd DECEMBER 2023 REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! (NIV) The Apostle Paul writing to the Church in Philippi, said they should rejoice in the Lord always. He didn't say they should rejoice in themselves but in the Lord. That calls for spiritual insight.  It takes spiritual insight to see what we got in the Lord and rejoice. When you are ask to rejoice over something it means that it holds significance and value. No nobody would ask you to rejoice over something that's not to your advantage. We have everything to our advantage in Christ, and it is our responsibility to recognize them and rejoice.  Looking at your physical environment and, maybe the circumstances of your life you might have reasons to feel bad and dejected. But looking in the Lord and who you are in Him, you would find not only the glorious you but also answers to all your questions.  W...

THE DAUGHTER OF JEZEBEL introduction

CONTENTS AND INTRODUCTION CONTENTS Chapter One -- CHARACTERS OF JEZEBEL Chapter Two -- THE DAUGHTER OF JEZEBEL Chapter Three -- HER MISSION Chapter Four -- IF SHE BECOMES YOUR WIFE Chapter Five -- A FALSE PROPHET INTRODUCTION In humility I write this book to the Man of God not to be unaware of the devices of the devil. 2 Corinthians 2:11 in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes. I write to remind the Man of God that one of the schemes of Satan against the servant of God is "The Daughter of Jezebel." Before talking about the Daughter of Jezebel, who is Jezebel?  THE JEZEBEL IN THE BIBLE Jezebel was the daughter of Ethbaal King of Sidon. Ahab the King of Israel married her which of course was against the Lord's instruction to Israel not to marry among the nations around them. She was mainly responsible for all the evil Ahab King of Israel committed in the sight of God. She killed many of the Lord's Prophets in Israel. She was a swor...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 14th JANUARY 2024 FORGIVE AS THE LORD FORGAVE YOU Colossians 3:13-14 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. (NIV) We should not have offense we cannot forgive. But at times we find ourselves in a situation where forgiveness seems difficult. If we apply our emotions and how hurt we are, it will be difficult to forgive. But if we consider how God forgave us then forgiving others would be easy.  There are things to note in our opening scripture; Bear with each other; forgive one another; grievance against someone; forgive as the Lord forgave you; put on love.  To bear with someone means to tolerate. If we cannot tolerate we cannot forgive. Then it says forgive one another; this means that we talk our differences over and forgive each other -- I forgive yo...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

 BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 13th OCTOBER 2023 YOU ARE THE SEED OF ABRAHAM Galatians 3:16,29 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say "and to seeds," meaning many people, but "and to your seed," meaning one person, who is Christ. ...If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.(NIV) We are not Abraham's seeds but Abraham's seed. Abraham has one spiritual seed and that seed is Christ. If you are in Christ you are the seed of Abraham. All the blessings and promises God gave to Abraham are actually fulfilled in you. The promise of blessing God made to Abraham was of two sides; physical and spiritual.  Genesis 13:15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.  Abraham and his physical seed did enjoy the physical side of the blessing. But the spiritual side was reserved for the spiritual seed; those in Christ. The spir...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

 BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 16th OCTOBER 2023 INCREASE IN GRACE AND PEACE 2 Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,(NIV) God has given everyone of us Grace and Peace in Christ. But how much of them we enjoy depends on our knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord. Knowledge here refers to intimate knowledge which comes through relationship. The level of Grace and Peace we enjoy is directly connected to our relationship and fellowship with God. The deeper your relationship with Him the greater your peace and grace.  If you find yourself wanting peace or grace what you need is not prayer but a meditation on the Word and how it relates with you. You can choose to increase the Grace and Peace of God in your life by increasing your knowledge of, relationship and fellowship with God. The scripture says Grace and Peace can be multiplied unto you through your knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ our Lo...
