Topic: TAKE BOLD STEPS OF FAITH 2023 IS ACTION YEAR!

BASIC SCRIPTURE: Luke 19:11 – 27; “11 While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear at once. 12 He said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. 13 So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas.[a] ‘Put this money to work,’ he said, ‘until I come back.’

14 “But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’

15 “He was made king, however, and returned home. Then he sent for the servants to whom he had given the money, in order to find out what they had gained with it.

16 “The first one came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned ten more.’ Our Daily Manna Devotional (ODM) Sunday 29 January, 2023.

17 “‘Well done, my good servant!’ his master replied. ‘Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.’

18 “The second came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned five more.’

19 “His master answered, ‘You take charge of five cities.’

20 “Then another servant came and said, ‘Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth. 21 I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.’

22 “His master replied, ‘I will judge you by your own words, you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow? 23 Why then didn’t you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?’

24 “Then he said to those standing by, ‘Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’

25 “‘Sir,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’

26 “He replied, ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what they have will be taken away. 27 But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me.’”

Our Daily Manna Devotional (ODM) Sunday 29 January, 2023

Very often people make positive confessions like: “I am rich,” “I am destined for greatness,” “I am a millionaire,” and’ ‘I am a success and not a failure.” These confessions are not bad, however actual actions must back them up. Something must be done to bring the confessions to reality.

A sad truth is that, you can confess greatness and not become significant in any field in life if you fail to do something. Mere confessions do not transform lives or change the narrative. There is no shortcut to success or financial breakthrough.

You must do something; you must engage your God-given endowment in problem-solving to produce results. The great men/women you admire today did something; they took bold steps and discovered their pathways in life. Hear this: “Life is governed by two principles… //Seedtime and Harvest time. Also note the following:

  • Action and Result. No action, no result!
  • No movement, no progress
  • No eating, no satisfaction
  • No input, no output
  • No seed time, no harvest time
  • No labour, no reward/pay. Our Daily Manna Devotional (ODM) Sunday 29 January, 2023.

Therefore, if you do nothing, you get nothing in return. Looking at the basic text today in Luke 19: 11 -27, certain people were given talents. Those that did something (invested) got return1. but the person that did nothing with the talent given to him, go I nothing in return.

In fact, the sad thing was that, the talent he was given was taken from him and given to the person who took action (invested his talent). May your talent not be taken away from you and given to another in Jesus name!
