Gospel Reading For The Healing Message: Matthew 25:14-30
“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. The one who had received the five talents went off at once 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. After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them. Then the one who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me five talents; see, I have made five more talents.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’ And the one with the two talents also came forward, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me two talents; see, I have made two more talents.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’ Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew that you were a harsh man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed; so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.’ But his master replied, ‘You wicked and lazy slave! You knew, did you, that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter? Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received what was my own with interest. So take the talent from him, and give it to the one with the ten talents. For to all those who have, more will be given, and they will have an
abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away. As for this worthless slave, throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’”

7 Great Truths About the Gospel Reading
1) The earth and everything in it is the Lord's.
Now therefore, if you obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession out of all the peoples. Indeed, the whole earth is mine.-Exodus 19:5
The earth is the LORD’S and all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it.-Psalm 24:1
For every wild animal of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills.-Psalm 50:10
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the LORD of hosts.-Haggai 2:8
2) Everything that God created is ours.
--God is neither selfish nor greedy. He has given each one specific talents to be managed well and through it glorify God. The first talent God gave us is our bodies and therefore we must take care of it and not destroy it. He wants his people to be happy and prosperous. All we need is to be faithful servants.
Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone.-1 Corinthians 12:4-6
3) We must use fruitfully the talent God gave each one for our enjoyment and for God's glory.
We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us: prophecy, in proportion to faith; ministry, in ministering; the teacher, in teaching; the exhorter, in exhortation; the giver, in generosity; the leader, in diligence; the compassionate, in cheerfulness.-Romans 12:6-8
4) Everyone will face God and we will give account of how we had used the gifts he has given us.
“After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them. Then the one who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me five talents; see, I have made five more talents.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’”-Matthew 25:19-21
--God is pleased when we make good use of the talents he has given us. And when God is pleased on you, his blessings will come pouring in.
--We were created by God with one primary purpose: to please him.
5) The talent God gave us and its fruits are all for God.
Honor the LORD with your substance and with the first fruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.-Proverbs 3:9-10
--Everything is God's. But because of his goodness, he only requires each one to give him a portion of his blessings.
6) To be rich and wealthy is not in the hands of God but in us.
--He has already provided us with everything. We just have to manage it well.
7) He who wants to obey God's commands and please him, God will be with him.
--God will give him the courage to use his talent.
--Noah found favor with God because in the midst of wickedness, driven by his desire to please God who gave him the courage and strength, he continued to preach the message.
“I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”-Joshua 1:9
--This is the power of 1+1=3 (God is with us).
--Many do not succeed in life because of timidity and fear, a result of having very little faith in God or not having faith at all.
May you have a happy and prosperous life!
