Today’s Topic: Well Done
Today’s Scripture
“The master said, ‘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!’” Matthew 25:23, NLT
Today’s Word
In Jesus’ parable of the bags of gold in Matthew 25, the master entrusted one servant with five bags, another with two bags, and the third with one bag. Each received according to his ability. The point of the parable was not how many gifts God has given us, but that we be faithful to use whatever gifts are ours. He’s saying that you can’t wait for the perfect time or when you’re in your comfort zone. You have to take steps of faith now, and if you don’t use your gifts, you’ll lose them.
God is expecting You to stir up what He has put in you, develop those gifts, and use them to give Him a return on His investment. Keep using what you have and He will give you more.
Don’t compare your gifts to someone else. You’re not in a competition with them. Be the best that you can be with what you have. Take the gifts you have, be faithful to develop them, and God will give you more ability, more skill, more favor, more influence.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that You are sovereign in the gifts and the calling You have given me. Thank You that I can take steps of faith today to stir up my gifts and be faithful to use them. I will celebrate and develop all that You have given me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
TODAY’S INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE: Are negative seeds limiting your future? Take inventory of what’s growing in your soil. You may need to uproot some things. God can still do what He promised, but you have to get in agreement with Him. Before you go to the next level, the enemy will send negative seeds to try to hold you back: a seed of doubt, a seed of you can’t do it, a seed of you won’t get well, a seed of you’ll never defeat Goliath. There will be these defining moments. What you do with the seed will determine whether you step into your greatness or whether you shrink back in fear. Pass that test. Start refusing negative seeds. Don’t let what people speak over you determine your future. Don’t let what the expert said cause you to live in doubt. Don’t let your own thoughts talk you out of what God put in your heart. Believe His report. He wouldn’t put you in that situation if you weren’t already equipped, empowered, and anointed. You are strong. You are blessed. You are healthy. You are qualified. You are valuable. You are well-able. You are victorious. Now guard your mind and keep the negative seeds out.
