what's up you guys thank you so much for tuning in today my name is zeal and i just wanted to come quickly on here to give you guys some words a revelation of what god has placed on my heart um the scripture today is coming from matthew verse matthew 25 sorry verse 14 through 30 okay so this is basically a parable where it's the explanation of what the kingdom of heaven is like this was talking about how a master left and gave his servants five talents two talents and one talent and so god is basically showing how he's given us talents as his people and wanting us to use it so in this is saying one with five you know they got a little bit more than everybody else one with two you know about middle ground and one with one you still have something to right but all of them in god's eyes are valuable and beautiful and and profitable and and useful for the kingdom of god and he wants us to think of it that way as well and be using our giftings as we're here on earth basically the moral of the story is the one that got five talents they doubled that okay when their master came back which is representation of jesus coming back for his people when their master came back he's like here you go listen i doubled this here's your 10 now right the one with two did the same thing he's like you know what i knew i needed to get some more for you so i wanted to serve you well i wanted to be a good servant here is four back right and the one with the one he operated in fear and he hid that thing he he didn't even try to do anything with his talent and i don't know if he saw it as less valuable because he didn't have five he didn't have two you know he just had the one and he's just like so when the master came back you know everybody else heard oh well done good and faithful servant well done good and faithful servant but the one with the one he didn't double it he didn't even increase it by half or anything he he went and hid it and it says in verse 26 but his lord answered and said to him you wicked and lazy servant you knew that i reap where i have not sown and gathered where i have not scattered seed so you ought to have at least he didn't say at least i'm just thinking in my mind like you could have at least deposited my money with the bankers and at my coming i would have received back my own was my own interest right therefore take the talent from him and give it to the one who has 10 talents you wicked and lazy servant so when we operate in fear and we just we don't want to use our gifts we're just too afraid we're just ah we don't know you know but we've chosen christ as our savior we have this new identity it's just like god is like go forth i'm with you believe me and i want to see increase i want to see this turn into something profitable for the kingdom i've given you all that you need to go forth in power power love and a sound mind go forth don't hide it the least you can do is put it in the bay and sometimes even with my own gifts i'm like let me at least do the least that i can you know we're just asking him for guidance what do i do in this season lord what is the least i can do even you know show me the way and god wants to say good and faithful servant and all we have to do is follow through so ask the lord today what can i do with my gifts so this is just a small challenge for you guys today and for myself or other things that god may call me to do that i may feel either too tired in or ill-equipped or whatever but he's given us that talent to use for his kingdom let's go forth with power love and a sound mind knowing that jesus has us and he's looking for a return when he returns he's looking for us to follow through with the talents he's given us for his kingdom all right i love you and i hope you have a wonderful day and um that god speaks very clearly to you in this season on what you ought to do with your talents god bless you all right bye
