thats nice and have gone through all points and av learned alot from them but my question is...
based on that point4...i do hear pastors say that we would all give account of everything that we have done in this life, pls i want to ask..does it involves giving account of the things we did even when we were at the infant stage and not aware of what we were doing??...and also does it involves the dirty sins that i have done maybe due to ignorance of temptation and not proud of but have confessed and cleaned off?? thats meaning does it mean that on that day i would stand before the lord and give account of all the girls i have bed with when even not married and all the poorn that i av consumed( e no go easy o, watin i go gv as excuse?? mayb i go say na research projects)....seriously i think it would be better if they are erased and not asked because they were done out of ignorance and when still in the world..

YOU SAID I have confessed. Sins one has confessed and forsaken have been pardoned. But if you go back to your vomit, God will hold you ACCOUNTABLE.

YOU MUST USE EVERY RESOURCES WISELY AND DILIGENTLY BECAUSE GOD DOESNT TAKE PLEASURE IN FOOLS

JourneytoEL:
God bless you. Thanks for commenting on my thread. I have been a faraway admirer

My Brother, you are Blessed! We all are one

Thank you.

JourneytoEL:
The bible says in 1 Cor 1:25, that the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom. God cannot give us the same number of talents because all of us cannot endure the same thing. Do not be deceived by the favors that comes to some specially gifted people.There are some gifts God will give you and you beg him to take it away from you. Think of it this way, God gave Chidi the gift of prophecy and his sister Toyin the gift of composing songs.
Toyin: God why didn't you give me Chidi's gift, see how popular he is and so on.
Then one day she sees Chidi looking slim, then she asks
Toyin: why are looking slim
Chidi:I am on a 21 day fasting and prayer. As a prophetic minister, God can direct me to fast for 3 days, at times 60 days and so on.
Toyin: Ahh
Chidi: At times, God will say go that mountain and pray at midnight for 7days.
Toyin: mountain ke, don't mosquitoes bite you?
Chidi: Yes they do. Infact at times snakes come to attack me but I overcome them.
Toyin:Ha
Chidi: I have been warned not to take even a drop of alcohol, listen to worldly music, I don't even watch films or eat beans sef
Toyin: you don't watch films ke
Chidi: Infact I used to see....
Toyin: abeg, no continue, I don't want your prophetic gift again, abeg I no fit do am.
Chidi: You don't know how lucky you are. Your own is just to stay in the room and be getting inspiration to sing.
Toyin: Abi oo, thank God for me

Matt 25:15 says God will give you only what you can HANDLE.

Another example, your body parts have different functions. If you say your eyes are your favourite part because you can see the world through it (just the same way you are saying God is showing favoritism) that does not mean your hands are useless. Can your favourite which is your eyes carry load? God is wise in giving us unique gift. It is that uniqueness that makes the church beautiful.

Owolabi10:
God will only give you what you can handle not really correct... God sometimes gives more than you can handle.. Moses.. Elijah.. Paul.. Had more they can handle.. Moses even looked for a excuse to avoid the arduous task ahead.. While the latter at a certain point in their life, yearned for death.. Even Paul admitted he laboured more than the apostles..

Because he knows that humans have an unlimited capacity if dedication and perseverance is involved in any task.

The LORD said, "If they have begun to do this as one people all having the same language, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.--Genesis 11:6

yes ooo. that is why the scripture says all our righteuosness is like a filthy rags in the presence of God. It is only the Blood of Jesus that will sppeak for us. Who are the US here? The Us represents the children of God. People that have accepted Jesus as their lord and Saviour. People that have been redeemed and washed in the blood of Jesus Christ. Only the redeemed will be able to claim this, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." 2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV). So, everything they did in ignorance when they were still in the world will no longer be counted against them

Oh

ALHAJI STAY AWAY FROM CHRISTIAN THREAD NOW HABA!

Go read ur Quoran

unmask:
Does this apply to money too, do we only get what we can handle?

The parable of the 10 talents speaks of the resources God makes available to help us maneuver our way through the world, back to Him, and to do His will. Yes, money is one of the many resources, and the sum total of those resources is what is the grace of God, and in the grace of Christ, for those who have been redeemed.

Do we get what we can handle? Well, before He formed each and every single one of us in the womb, He knew us and assigned us all that we will need to accomplish His work on this earth. Don't think about it in terms of what you can handle, but in terms of what it is you will need to find your way back to the will your maker intended for you, and accomplish that particular will to His satisfaction.

JourneytoEL:
You said it all, more Grace

Thanks

To me, I observed that the servant entrusted with 5 talents or bags of gold (the highest) represent the rich, successful and industrious individuals they know the game and they are good players@ it ; the 2nd servant like the 1st one also did well; they took the fund with their skill, capacity and ability they pulled resources and voila! Profit for their "Boss" and they received more in return via the " enter thou into my happiness" with kudos and praises as well.
Whereas the 3rd servant represent the lazy failed individuals you find them everywhere they are master of excuses but their Hallmark is the failure they represent and justify. Be watchful... Which are you?

JourneytoEL:
1. You have a gift from God

Every Christian has a gift from God and these gifts are unequally distributed. Dele can have the gift of prophecy,deliverance and healing while his twin brother Chike can have the gift of singing. Esther can have the gift of evangelism and composing songs while her best friend Dinma can be good at interpreting dreams. No matter how big or small you are you have a gift. Your position and career can also be God's gift to you and you have the responsibility of using the gift/career for the Glory of the God. Been a doctor can be God's gift to you and you have the responsibility of giving the hope of Christ to your patients in despair.

Been a lawyer can be yours and you have the responsibility of fighting for justice. Same with the actors, musicians, lecturers, graphic artists, writers, policemen, instrumentalists, and the list is endless. Even if you are great at swepping and cleaning, use that gift to work for God. Been alive alone is a gift. Your youth and health is also a gift. Ask yourself now, what is my gift and how can I use it to win souls for God.

2. Don't be jealous over your neighbour's gift.

God will only give you what you can handle.
Vs 15 says and He gave each according to his ability. God gave you your gift because in His wisdom he knows you can handle it. So, why get jealous over another's. Can you handle the cross that comes with his gift? Can you withstand the challenges he faced while growing his gift? Don't be envious of another's gift rather praise God for yours and for others too and work towards using yours for His kingdom. Remember, the spirit of envy comes from the enemy, repent of every envious thought you have ever had towards others and pray for the Grace not to do it again.

3. How you use your gift can affect your journey in life.

You have been praying for a promotion at work or more clients and when it does not happen as you wish you say, there is no God, if he exists he hates me. But, the message from God to you today is, how did you work for him with what you had.

Vs 23 says “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. The more you labour for God, the higher your elevation according to His wish. Repent from lukewarmness and pray for the anointing to work for him.

4. You will give an account one day.

Always remember that the day is coming when you will stand before His throne and give an account of how you used your gift.

John 15:2 says, He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. Refuse to be he that bears no fruit today. The best time to make that decision is now. Pray to God for the strength to work for him and he will answer you.
