BE WISE!

1. BE WISE!

a) God is fair! He knows what gifts to give to each believer just like the story in the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30). He does not entrust his gifts equally but accordingly to the capability of that believer. That's why the Holy Spirit determines what to give to you (1 Corinthians 12:11). He knows you better than yourself!

b) So, work on what God has given. Don't go beyond your boundaries. Don't be envious or jealous over the gifts of the other person. Work together as one for the sake of the kingdom of God.

c) These gifts are not given for personal glory. They are meant to help build up the body of Christ, the church. Whatever your gifts, someday they will cease (1 Corinthians 13:8) except your faith, your hope and your charity (1 Corinthians 13:13).

d) With these gifts, some have become very successful. They have a well-known ministry worldwide, they have built mega churches, they have huge membership and many properties on earth. For all these they will not be able to take with them after life.

e) So be wise! Do the things God had assigned to you.

f) And let this be your motivation in... 

@1. Matthew 25:23 TLB.

"'Good work,' his master said. 'You are a good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over this small amount, so now I will give you much more.'

g) A pat on the back by the Lord is much better than the praises of man. Amen!
