MAT 25:14-30 PARABLE OF THE THREE SERVANTS Skip to main content

A story of my confused state

  2018, I moved to Ogun state and had to seek employment in a school within my vicinity. As a Lagos teacher, I was used to a vibrant class, swift answers and mushy acts by my students. So I resumed at my new work place with that fully charged energy. The first day got me confused. I was to teach the primary classes, I started my class and it was obvious these children were not following. They could neither understand what I was saying nor did they show any bit of interest. It was then I knew I had to start from the scratch. First, I had to create a connection. I wanted them to understand that I am first their friend. I needed to set the foundation that they can have both a friend and teacher in one. After that, I came down to their level. I made them feel and appreciate every little progress they made. I built up their interest in education. We worked together, applying several strategies I discovered and created, and within some month the growth was evident. Eureka is a book that ...

MAT 25:14-30 PARABLE OF THE THREE SERVANTS


Hello friends today we would be studying the book of MAT 25:14-30 in a different way
SUMMARY OF THE PARABLE OF THE THREE SERVANTS
a particular master was about to go on a journey so he gave his first servant 5 talents, the second 2 talents and the last servant 1 talent after which he went on his journey.
the first servant traded with his talents and added 5 more to it, the second servant also did the same and added 2 more but the last servants thought that he has been cheated, he felt he wasn't loved by his master so rather than trading with his talent he hid it until the return of his master.
When the master returned he asked of the account of the talents and all the servants gave accounts. He appreciated the first two servants and had the last one thrown into the wilderness.

EXPLANATION OF THE PARABLE
The parable above is just exactly what happened when we all were been sent to the world.
We were given talents which we ought to trade with here on earth because we are going to give account of it all.
Just like the servants in the parable many of us were given 5 talents, 4 talents etc. but nobody was given 0 talent. I.e. everyone on earth was born with a talent.
Majority of us haven't discovered the talent(s) given to us, most of us know it but just like the last servant we have hid it under the ground, while most of us are making good use of it.

IMPORTANT NOTES TO TAKE ON THE PARABLE
  • talent(s) is so important to God
  • everyone has been given talent(s)
  • the talents given are in different proportion
  • we are on a journey
  • on our return we are going to give accounts of how we used the talent(s)
  • the talents given are meant to be traded
  • the way you use your talent(s) should benefit others also
  • while trading your talent also add more to what you have
  • those who did not use their talent(s) will be punished on the last day
From the above we have noticed that a man's talent(s) makes way for him only if it is been utilized the problems we face now can actually be reduced if everyone on earth is actually utilizing their talents the right way.
The Master is very concerned about how we use our talents, he is so much interested in talents and he has given us the responsibility of touching our lives and the lives of others with it.That’s why anyone who fails to use his/her talents would be punished severely.

Am sure you don’t want to end up like the servant who was thrown into the wilderness. So please don’t do what he did. Make use of your talents the right way so that you would be rewarded.
