"For to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away." Matt 25:29
This passage comes immediately after the parable of the talents. You will recall that a number of talents were given to three different individuals. Two of them produced a return and one did not.
Beloved it is important to know that the Lord gives us all ability; talent if you will. We are all blessed differently but blessed we are. We have been gifted by the Holy Spirit to do a number of things. "Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly:" Rom 12:6. Many of us don't think past our selves when it comes to using these gifts. It should be known, however, that there will be an accounting.
He who has given the gifts will one day arrive to see what has been done with them. Have you multiplied what has been given? Have you used it for the glory of God? Have you given Him the credit for all you have and been able to do? If so, He will give you more. If you have not, what little you had will be taken away.
We are in this life to grow personally and to produce fruit. The Lord is not looking for those who merely claim things, but they who accomplish them.
In Revival,
Lee
