RIGHT MENTALITY TO SERVICE

BY: JUDAH OLATUNDE

Matthew  25:15 And unto one he gave FIVE TALENTS, to another TWO, and to another ONE; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
25:16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
25:17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
25:18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. (Matt 25:15-30; Luke2:49b)

Every parable of scripture was an event that actually took place either in heaven or on earth or is an event that is ordained to take place in the future. No single parable of scripture is insignificant or unrealistic.

We saw an example of a man giving talents to His servants and that man was God Himself. Many believers are like that one man who after receiving heaven's deposit and virtue and or gift went and hid the gift or virtue. By reason of that singular action which was as a product of his wrong mentality, that which was given to him was not only withdrawn from him, he also suffered for it.

What then is the right mentality towards serving God?

You MUST know that, there is a kind of mentality you MUST possess as you serve GOD. GOD is a business man and no business man wants to run at a loss. So also, if you must be profitable and get your complete reward in your service to God, you must possess a business man's mentality even as He.

Jesus for instance was able to go through the cross because He possessed that same business mentality. He placed the harvest and glory to come before Him. This was part of the reason He didn't give up. He was weakened too yet, because of the joy that was set before Him, He dared to endure the cross, shame, reproach, mockery and the hardship.

*INSIGHTS FOR TODAY: Anything you do with the aim of making profit is a business. If you possess this mentality, you will serve God tirelessly, diligently and dedicatedly because you will be rest assured that at the end of the day, your profit will come. (Judah Olatunde)*

*Prayer: Dear Lord, give me grace and help me to be dedicated to your service. Let not my reward be given to another in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith*
