the multiplication expectation

What has God given you?

Time, talents, possessions, relationships, influence, passions... ?

Are you multiplying it or burying it?

Matthew 25:16

He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more.

Matthew 25:18

But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money.

Are you asking for more investment from God without being faithful with what He's already given you?

Matthew 25:20

... His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much...

You've been trusted with gifts from God and they come with a responsibility. You've been blessed to be a blessing. Given some, so you can give more.

When you meet your heavenly Father and he asks you "What have you done with what I have given you?" how will you respond?

Are you investing what he's giving you, or are you believing lies from the enemy that you don't have anything to offer? Are you multiplying your talents or burying them with doubt, insecurity, or fear?

You have a responsibility to invest because he has an expectation of return...

But, he has given you everything you need to fulfill the expectation he has for your life.

His name is Jesus.

Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
