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.’ ”

Points to Ponder:

Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.-Daniel 12:2-3

But what does it say? “The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. -Romans 10:8-10


--The original sin that Adam and Eve committed is not eating the forbidden fruit but not listening to God. Instead they listened to the Devil.



The Healing Message:

God's Plan For His People

1) Remember that the plan of God for all of us is to live abundantly in all things.

“For surely I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD, “plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.”-Jeremiah 29:11


2) Remember that in order for God's good plan to come true for us, each one of us must use properly the ability or talent that has been given to us. The ability to prosper is already in us.

“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.”-Matthew 25:14-15


To prove the point that God's plan for his people is good:

So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.” God said, “See, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food.”-Genesis 1:27-29


Right from the beginning, God had already entrusted us this world. His command has never changed. God did not command that when there is already so many people all over the earth, we must start using contraceptives. The problem lies with the people not being responsible. The problem is not in population but in mismanagement of the earth's resources.


Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you for your own good, who leads you in the way you should go. O that you had paid attention to my commandments! Then your prosperity would have been like a river, and your success like the waves of the sea.”-Isaiah 48:17-18


--Since only God knows his plan for us (which is to prosper us and not to harm us), we must listen to him.


3) Remember that God is happy to see us prosper and live in abundance.

--If God is happy with you, your prayer request will be heard.

--The primary purpose of God in creating us is to give him pleasure.

--God's grace overflows freely to a person whom he is pleased.

4) To the man who pleases God, God will bless him abundantly until overflowing so he can also give to charity.
 

--God blesses a person not only for himself but to share God's goodness and joy to those who does not have.


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.-Matthew 25:28-29


Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work.-2 Corinthians 9:7-8


5) Remember that to the man who makes God happy, God will give him more wisdom, knowledge and happiness.

For to the one who pleases him God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy.-Ecclesiastes 2:26


6) Remember that to the man who pleases God, God will make him inherit the wealth gathered and stored up by sinners.

For to the one who pleases him God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy; but to the sinner he gives the work of gathering and heaping, only to give to one who pleases God. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind. -Ecclesiastes 2:26


To be continued next Saturday...



May you have a happy and prosperous life!
