Use what God gave you: Parable of the Talents

God did not place gifts inside you for them to stay hidden. He placed them there to impact lives, bless others, and glorify Him.

In the Parable of the Talents, three servants were entrusted with different amounts of treasure. Two invested, stewarded, and multiplied what they were given. One hid his talent out of fear.

Fear is the enemy’s favorite strategy because it kills movement.

Doubt keeps you stuck.

Comparison keeps you silent.

Insecurity keeps you hidden.

Procrastination keeps you stagnant.

But God calls you to multiply, not bury.

He calls you to steward, not hide.

He calls you to obey, not delay.

What God placed inside you — the creativity, the compassion, the leadership, the wisdom, the testimony — is meant to grow.

Your gifts are not accidents — they are assignments.

And God promises that when you are faithful with what He gave you, He will expand your territory, increase your influence, and elevate your purpose.
