Talent
‘…Give as freely as you have received!’ Matt.10:8b
Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything. Prov.11:24
Whose life are you speaking into? Of the oil God is pouring into you, who are you pouring into? It’s a misnomer to have a Christian who knows the Lord, is walking with the Lord and is not discipling anybody. Every Christian that is walking with God must have at least one person they are discipling personally. This is the call and the work. The principle of seed and harvest; as you pour into people, God pours into you. A vessel that is full cannot receive new oil. Looking back, I may not be who I am in God today if not for the people that took it upon themselves to make sure I did not drift away from the path of righteousness. There were people who followed me up, people that taught me step by step through walking with God. While I was being discipled, I understood in practical terms the scripture ‘line by line, precept after precept’. There are people who are waiting for you to speak into their lives. What are you doing? Stop waiting for some voice from above, it has already spoken. ‘Go into the world making disciples of every nation’. Adopt a disciple today, Jesus commands it. What has Jesus said and what are you doing about it? If you were at the place where Jesus was being crucified and He looked down from the cross, what will He ask you to take care of? Jesus is seated at the right hand of God, what is He asking you to take care of for Him? Are you still waiting for Him to come and do what He has told you to do? Repeatedly, I have heard different people tell me what God has said to them. Then in shock, I watch their actions go contrary to what they claim they have heard God say. Jesus is trusting you with the salvation of those who are close to you but far from God; do not miss the next opportunity to speak about Jesus.
Prayer: Lord, help me make good on all that you have entrusted into my hands. Lead me by Your Spirit to bless someone with the spiritual experiences You have led me through in Jesus Name.

I think it is just about being available for God to use. So that that which He has previously given you, you too can give others. Otherwise you are burying your talent! God help us in Jesus Name
