My gift to others

Written by Alfred Ofori Agyemang.

"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as you have done unto one of the least of these brethren, you have done it unto me." (NKJV) Matthew 25:40

We want to satisfy ourselves with all the time, monies, cars, phones, computers, clothes and other things that bring physical pleasure. Sometimes we tend to forget others who need our attention, resources, and prayers. Other peoples’ blessings are in our possession even in our challenging moments.

We all have been endowed with special gifts and talents to benefit ourselves, our family, God’s kingdom and others. Always see whatever you have as from God and not for personal gratification alone. Identify your talents and manage them according to God's principles. If we are unable to identify our talents, we cannot develop them and maximally use them to the glorification of God. The more we know our potential and use them for godly duties, God continues to bless us (Math 25:29).

Use your talents to serve others, which is the call for Christians. To love God is to serve the people created by God. Some of us have been given more on earth than Jesus had when He came on earth. What have you done with all the gifts God has blessed you with? Jesus was so busy but kept worshipping God and helping others as His prime duties. He had time for His Father, for His friends, for relaxation, and for a good meal.

Never underrate any gift or potential from God as inferior as the man who was given one talent (Math 25:24-25). They are for your own good and for the service of others. By using our gifts to serve others, by managing our gifts according to God’s plan we can use our gifts for God’s glory. Let us change the world by our kind acts of using our gifts efficiently.
