"And unto one he gave five talents, to another two,and to another one; to every man according to his several ability;and straightway took his journey. After a long time,the lord of those servants cometh,and reckoneth with them. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth".(Matthew 25 vs 15,19,30). That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional Today.
It is important to note that in the parable of the talents, Jesus was simply explaining the Kingdom of Heaven to his disciples. The Master gave talents to his servants,gave them some time, and returned on a day of reckoning to find out how they fared.
Notice that on the day of reckoning, the servants were held accountable for what they did with their talents. Two servants were commended for doing what was right, while one servant was punished for doing what was wrong. The two servants who pleased the master were accepted,while the servant who displeased the master was rejected and thrown out of the kingdom.
Friend,hear this: There will certainly be a day of reckoning when we will give account of what we have done with our lives and times on earth. There will be a day when we will either enter into eternal damnation or receive eternal reward for our works on earth.
On that day, every pretence will be exposed. Every falsehood will come to the limelight. Every secret sin and behaviour will no longer be hidden. Those who used 'church' as a cover for their ungodly ways will receive a shocker. Wait a minute! If that day of reckoning were to be today, what will be the Divine verdict on your life?
Psalms 90 vs 12 says,"So teach us to number our days,that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom".
Live with eternity in view! Believe it or not, You will give account some day.
Pray with me,"Lord, I re-dedicate my life to you,forgive me of every sin,secret or open in Jesus name".
Have a Blessed Sunday!
