CAN I INVEST IN YOU?

Matthew 25:14,16,20

“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven can be illustrated by the story of a man going on a long trip. He called together his servants and entrusted his money to them while he was gone.

“The servant who received the five bags of silver began to invest the money and earned five more.

The servant to whom he had entrusted the five bags of silver came forward with five more and said, ‘Master, you gave me five bags of silver to invest, and I have earned five more.’

A story is told of a man who invested in a bank the first year, he lost almost all of his investment, the bank asked for more the next year, he re-invested and still again he neither regained his investment nor made any profit.

Should he re-invest the next year?

John 15:2

"Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

Every one's work will be tested to determine its value

1Corinthians 3:13

each one's work will become manifest; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is.

Are we too busy taking account of what we have not received, the things we want God to do for us?

Yes He will do them, He loves us asking Him.

John 16:24

"Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

However, have we taken stock of what we have already received and then consider if we are worth the investment?

What have you done with what you have been blessed with already?

* your life

* your good health

* your body

* the salvation

* the talents

* the money/wealth

* the sound mind

* the salvation

* your children

* your time

* your spouse

* your parents

* your job

* the word of God you have been taught

* your position

* your influence

* your spiritual gifts

and the list goes on

Remember . . .

Luke 12:48b

For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.

Let us take stock, and do our accounting. Have we accounted well, for what we have already received. 

Don't stay blinded by what you think you are yet to receive that you do not make the most of what you have received!

I see you being a worthy and profitable investment.

Help us Good Lord.

PRAYER

Loving Father help me be that profitable child of Yours that whatever You have invested in me would always bring forth good profit, for all the glory is Yours Lord forevermore.

He calls blessed.

Love
