The unfaithful servant....!

Ezekiel 15:7-8 NKJV

and I will set My face against them. They will go out from one fire, but another fire shall devour them. Then you shall know that I am the Lord , when I set My face against them. Thus I will make the land desolate, because they have persisted in unfaithfulness,’ says the Lord God .”

† Shalom †......! Day #347. Do you know that an unfaithful servant will remain desolate, will never prosper because of his unfaithful spirit? Let's pray. Father,  forgive us for our unfaithfulness in serving You. Many times we have failed You. Many times we have done mistake.  Many times we have run away from our calling although we were serving. Forgive us Lord. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

This recalls the parable of the talents. In Matthew 25:14-18 NKJV, we read about how Jesus explains about the unfaithful servant. “For the kingdom of heaven is  like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them.  And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey.  Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.  And likewise he who had received two gained two more also.  But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money." To each was given some talents but the last guy, did something evil. He did not multiply it but instead hid it in the ground. And when the master came, he return back the same talent with the same amouny to the master. This is an unfaithful servant. To him was entrusted the talents but he did not do anything about it. Likewise God has entrusted to us the ministry, the giftings yet we don't do anything about it, instead we use it for self glorification and not to glorify God. We must realize one thing that whatever we have is from God. The ability to lead, the ability to move in signs and wonders is everything from God, nothing is belongs to us.

They think they can run here and there avoiding the wrath of God due to their unfaithfulness. They may escape a fire, but another will come and burn them. You may hop church like no one's business,  but knows how to break you and make you regret. Despite many warnings we still do not take heed to His voice and we feel what we have done is right, just like the third servant who received 1 talent who tried to reason with his master and justify his ways. He is an ungrateful servant As it is written in the proverbs "like a dog that returns to its vomit" so is the servant with one talent.... How about you and I today? Have you been found as a faithful servant?

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
