WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN US
Reverend Elijah Mwasakifwa
MMM Program Coordinator, Tanzania
"For it is as if a man, going on a journey, summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them; to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. At once the one who had received the five talents went off and traded with them and made five more talents. In the same way, the one who had the two talents made two more talents. But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.” Matthew 25:14-18
n this text we learn that the master decided to divide the money among his servants according to their abilities. No one received more or less money than he could handle. Failure to produce and maximize could come only from laziness or hatred for the master. Thus no excuse as a result of being overwhelmed.
The money in this story represents any kind of resource we are given by God, for example: time, wealth, abilities, health, and other resources that he expects us to invest wisely until He returns.
MMM has decided to invest in health assurance for the children and poor communities in the rural Africa south of Sahara. MMM is in the front line to push forward the agenda of saving lives of many who could die because of water-borne diseases.
MMM has chosen to deal with the life-threatening agent by providing African communities with sustainable source of safe water. This is to say if there is no access to safe and clean water, lives of many people are with no doubt at maximum risk.
Our Master Jesus Christ has given all of us, each one with equal or less talents to complement each other, we therefore need one another to fulfill his mission of building His kingdom here on earth.
We are responsible to use well what God has given us. The issue is not how much we have but what do we do with what we have at the given place and time.
Application Question: How will we use what God has given us?
Prayer: Father our Creator, use us to spread the message of love through this inspiring work, the work that touches lives of Your children. You are the life giving and source of life itself. With our humbled hearts we ask Your protection, guidance and strength as we commence installation season. In Jesus’ name we ask and pray. Amen
