  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 Well Done 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 yo...

  Knowing God Scripture: Hosea 6:3 and Hebrews 11:6 “ Oh, that we might know the Lord! Let us press on to know him. He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn or the coming of rains in early spring.”  (Hosea 6:3) “ But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. ” (Hebrews 11:6) These verses contain the keys to enjoying a life now, and a life that will echo into eternity. We have seen how he holds our breath in his hand, and that every heartbeat is sourced in God. We have seen how he has designed each of us for a specific purpose, having fashioned each heart individually. He created us, formed us, and knows us by name. Therefore, it is critical to press on to know him to the extent he will reveal himself to us. Kingdom of God  thinkers want to know God at all costs, and will press on to know him. As surely as we know that the sun will rise tomorrow, w...

  There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears. Philippians 1:6 Celebrate Who You Are Too many people go through life feeling wrong inside. They get up every morning and take inventory of their faults and weaknesses. There’s nothing the enemy would love any more than for you to go through life focused on your failures, how you don’t measure up, being against yourself. Don’t fall into that trap. When he whispers those condemning thoughts, “You blew your diet. You were late to work. You lost your temper. You gave in to that temptation,” just remind yourself that you are not a finished product. You may have some things wrong with you, but you have a lot more right with you. Learn to celebrate who you are and not beat yourself up because of who you’re not. God is changing you from glory to glory. You don’t have to be a finished product before...

  God’s Precious Investment Scripture: Ephesians 1:18 “ I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. ” As believers in Christ, we are God’s precious inheritance. He has purchased us with the precious blood of Christ, and looks forward to spending eternity with us. “ But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of Christ. ” (Ephesians 2:13) God has invested a lot in you and me. He has given us time, talent, and treasure in varying degrees. We will have to give an accounting for the use of these gifts; however, we should view our time in this world as the greatest opportunity to serve in advancing his kingdom. He has given us the assurance of salvation: “ I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eterna...

  And have made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall reign on the earth.” Revelation 5:10 Royalty In 2 Samuel 4, after King Saul and his son Jonathan had been killed in battle, Saul’s little grandson, Mephibosheth, was fleeing for his life when he suffered a tragic fall and was disabled, unable to walk. He went from the palace to barely surviving, living in exile in a poor, run-down city named Lo Debar. But the change in his circumstances did not change the fact that he was royalty. Years later, King David brought him back to the palace to live as royalty and restored his family’s land. The Scripture says that God has made us kings. You may feel like you’re living in Lo Debar today, with difficulties coming against you. That’s where you are, but that’s not who you are. Nothing you’ve been through has changed your royal identity. No person who did you wrong, no bad break, and no mistake you’ve made has changed your name. You are still a child of the King of kings with royal...

  Your Power Source Scripture: Psalm 62:11 and 2 Corinthians 12:9 “ God has spoken plainly, and I have heard it many times: Power, O God, belongs to you. ” (Psalm 62:11) “ Each time he said, ‘My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.’ So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. ” (2 Corinthians 12:9) It is amazing what lengths people will go to in order to gain access to those they perceive as “powerful people.” The Psalmist had it right. Power belongs to God . He is the one who can bring about the change we need in our lives and in the circumstances we encounter in this turbulent world. In so many ways we are weak, powerless, and vulnerable. However, we have been born to a living hope . Subject to the sovereign will of God , we are kept by the power of God: “ Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. In God’s great mercy he has caused us to be born again into a living hope, because Jesus Christ ...
