WE ARE NOT TO COMMERCIALIZE OUR FREELY GIVEN TALENTS IN THE HOUSE OF WORSHIP

THE CALLED & DIVINELY FAVORED:

WHAT TO LEARN FROM THE PARABLE OF THE TALENTS. (MATTHEW, 25:-14-28)

ROMANS, 15:-4 “FOR EVERYTHING THAT WAS WRITTEN IN THE PAST WAS WRITTEN TO TEACH US, SO THAT THROUGH THE ENDURANCE TAUGHT IN THE SCRIPTURES AND THE ENCOURAGEMENT THEY PROVIDE, WE MIGHT HAVE HOPE.”

THEREFORE, WHATEVER TALENT OR TALENTS WE MIGHT BE ENDOWED WITH, WE ARE TO USE IT FOR THE GLORIFICATION OF OUR LORD GOD WHO MADE IT POSSIBLE.

OUR INDIVIDUAL COMMITMENT TO THE GLORIFICATION OF GOD WITH OUR ENDOWED TALENTS SHOW HOW APPRECIATIVE WE ARE TO GOD AND IT ALSO INCREASES OUR CHANCE OF BEING BLESSED BY OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN.

AMONG US TODAY ARE SOME HIGHLY TALENTED MUSICIANS WHO INSISTED ON BEING PAID TO PERFOM IN THE HOUSE OF GOD. AND MOST OF THEM IF NOT ALL, DEVELOPED THEIR TALENTS IN THE CHURCH CHOIR.

MANY ARE GOOD PRAYER WARRIORS, AND MANY ARE GIFTED IN PROPHECY. BUT SOME OF THEM CHOOSE TO BE PAID FOR THEIR SERVICES IN THE HOUSE OF WORSHIP.

THE CHURCH OF GOD HAS NOW BEEN TURNED TO MONEY MAKING ORGANIZATION RIGHT FROM THE PASTOR OR SHEPHERD TO THE CLEANER.

EVERYONE OF THEM HAS THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL CLIENTS AMONG THE CONGREGANTS.

LET US HEAR WHAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST SAYS TO HIS DISCIPLES IN THE HOLY BIBLE.

MATTHEW, 10:-7-8 “AND AS YOU GO, PREACH, SAYING, THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND, HEAL THE SICK, CLEANSE THE LEPERS, RAISE THE DEAD, CAST OUT DEMONS: FREELY YE HAVE RECEIVED, AND FREELY GIVE.”

IT IS NOT WRITTEN THAT DAVID ASKED FOR MONETARY CONPENSATION FROM KING SAUL TO PLAY THE HARP.

WE ALL KNOW THE STORY OF NAAMAN, PROPHET ELISHA, AND GEHAZI THE SERVANT. (2 KINGS, 5:-1-END)

IN CONCLUSION: WE ARE ALL WORKING IN THE VINEYARD. WE MUST BE CAREFUL NOT TO COMMERCIALIZE OUR GIVEN TALENTS TO THE DETRIMENT OF OUR INDIVIDUAL SALVATION. NO ONE PRAY FOR THE REWARD OF THAT LOUSY SERVANT THAT BURIED HIS TALENT.
