You will be judged according to your unique gifts and callings!
Do not compare yourself to others. In the end, it is about what percentage of your calling produced righteous results.
Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 25:
14 “For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a Man traveling to a far country, Who called His own servants and delivered His goods to them.
15 And to one He gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey.
16 Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.
17 And likewise he who had received two gained two more also.
18 But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his Lord’s money.
19 After a long time the Lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them.
20 “So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, You delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’
21 His Lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord.’
22 He also who had received two talents came and said, ‘Lord, You delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.’
23 His Lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord.’
Both servants received the same level of reward and appreciation because both increased the Kingdom by the same percentage- 100%.
24 “Then he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew You to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed.
25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.’
26 “But his Lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed.
27 So you ought to have deposited My money with the bankers, and at My coming I would have received back My own with interest.
28 Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.
29 ‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.
What will be the final judgement of the wicked and lazy servant?
30 And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
Sadly, there will be those who talk the talk of being a believer but they have nothing to show for their life. They did nothing for the Kingdom. They leave all the work for those who are perceived as having greater talents and callings. They made the mistake of thinking that they had nothing to contribute themselves.
Every believer is expected to serve on behalf of The Kingdom of GOD, no exceptions. Everyone has some level of ability to produce, and it is according to his own level of ability, not to be compared to others.
This parable focuses on financial stewardship. Each of us is to steward at our own level of finances. Jesus was more impressed by the widow contributing two mites than those who had greater resources.
Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 12:
41 Then Jesus sat down near the offering box, watching all the people dropping in their coins. Many of the rich would put in very large sums,
42 but a destitute widow walked up and dropped in two small copper coins, worth less than a penny.
43 Jesus called His disciples to gather around and then said to them, “I tell you the Truth, this poor widow has given a larger offering than any of the wealthy.
44 For the rich only gave out of their surplus, but she sacrificed out of her poverty and gave to God all that she had to live on, which was everything she had.”
At Servias, we appreciate every contribution no matter what the amount. THE LORD will reward you according to your own circumstances for He looks at your intent rather than the amount.
