T#056 THE FAITHFULNESS TO JESUS ... as PASTORS & THEIR Members ought-to-realize!


>>Matthew 25:14-30

  • This speaks of what our concern ought-to-be in our time NOW(!)
  • when THE CHRIST has already ascended to heaven.
  • Before HE left earth to be back to heaven again
  • HE left instructions HIS WILL to HIS people including us
  • as to exactly what HE wanted us to do
  • with all HIS assets which HE distributed among all of us

to be put to good use
for the spread of
HIS LORDSHIP
& CHRISTHOOD

  • while HE is in heaven.
  • As HIS purchased servants
  • (redeemed by HIM and therefore HE is our OWNER & SAVIOR
  • from the darkness we used to be in!)

we ought not to work
for ourselves anymore;
but, for HIS
methodologies,
purposes and intents

  • at least as our KING and CHIEF-PRIEST already.

Assets here
on earth include

  • HIS people --- our co-priests
  • HIS time,
  • (HE made time that is why HE is not subject to time!)
  • all the earth and the natural resources we have around ---
  • even all the money circulating
  • because we have given pecuniary value (GNP) to EVERYTHING we now(!) see

and manipulate in the name
of entrepreneurship!

  • For the work we ought to do for HIM
  • .... we are to use the abilities which HE gave us in combination
  • with the different talents/gifts combined from HIM
  • with which HE individually wants us to accomplish
  • HIS assignments for us to do
  • within the time frame HE has allotted individually for us!

Up to the extent of what
THE LORD JESUS
THE CHRIST
 has given us as capital
for the work we are to
accomplish for HIM

  • we are expected by HIM
  • to use and disburse them to the fullest and without loss and/or waste.

THIS PARABLE is
to teach us that MAN
is bound to fail in
this assignment of HIS

  • unless man knows and understands of HIS methodologies, purposes and intents
  • the specific scriptures, most of which are in:
  • But the main emphasis of THIS particular PARABLE is

for the one who receives a
less significant talent
compared to those whom he
sees around in others

  • and who consider themselves lesser-gifted;
  • or worst, believe they have no talent nor gift at all
  • as to mistreat or ignore that which is already given to them by JESUS.
  • The ground, the earth here on which the least-talented among them is written to have dug
  • signifies the life of those who are not aware of their gifts / talents combined from THE CHRIST
  • who by their earthly living’s involvements and associations with people around them

do not use such talents / gifts
combined
from THE LORD for
HIS methodologies,
purposes and intents.

  • For as long as our attitudes are like that
  • for as long as we continue behaving this way in this life
  • we are actually rendering useless and we are letting those talents and gifts lie in waste.

Not using THE CHRIST’s
gifts is to hide them.

  • This is the greatest danger
  • with them who feel they have only small gifts / talents;
  • worst pa, to them who feel they do not have talents and gifts
  • from THE LORD JESUS THE CHRIST.

The long time here signifies
the years A.D. 33 up to

when THE CHRIST
will actually be back for
(>>> T#092)

  • for HIS ETERNAL JUDGMENT on the world
  • and glorification of HIS CHURCH.

BUT, for US WHO
look forward to being
glorified on that day ---

  • our faithfulness to HIM is by our acceptance as convicts
  • to each and every judgment HE renders on us
  • each time we sin
  • by our refusal to heed
  • those methodologies, purposes & intents

---- particularly refering
to HIS ROLES as our personal
CHIEF-PRIEST and JUDGE
now!

  • On eternal judgment day
  • what matters consideration by THE LORD on us
  • as we meet HIM we are told here(!) and now(!) is:
  • THE LORD’s appraisal and reward for us is
  • not related to size and quantity, nor time spent working for HIM but

ON OUR
FAITHFULNESS 

IN USING HIS
GIFTS / TALENTS 

TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT AND
WITHOUT
WASTE!

  • It will not even be for our working FOR THE LORD
  • BUT in our working with HIM
  • as our LORD & CHRIST

in our respective lifetimes!

  • It is very apparent here
  • that THE CHRIST is THE JUDGE
  • on our use of HIS resources
  • (our person vis-a-vis our respective buddies'
  • [in THE LORD's WORK]
  • abilities / gifts / talents,
  •  HIS time,
  •  HIS methodologies,
  •  HIS timetable,
  •  HIS purposes and intents)
  • and
  • for whom HE intends to benefit from HIS plan.

WE HAVE TO BE ALL
THE TIME CONSCIOUS
OF THIS FACT!!!!

  • Another fact we have to realize is that
  • THE LORD’s work for us
  • is to have provided us 
  •  ---- the necessary starting capital
  • because HE is our BOSS-OWNER-COMMANDER
  • and from T H E R E ---- THE LORD’s work
  • proceeds with ZERO direct ACT from HIM already
  • as recorded here in >>verse 24 where
  • HE HIMSELF accepted “reaping where HE did not sow
  • and gathering where HE did not scatter.”

the direct ACTS thereafter are for us TO individually DO!

  • We are not to be “afraid” (>>verse 25)
  • --- not negative but positive
  • but aggressive in using the smallest talents / gifts
  • HE has given us.

We are not to be passive
but active for accomplishing
THE LORD’s assignment
for us!

  • We are expected
  • not only to keep our BOSS’s gifts intact,
  • not to lose them is not even sufficient

we are to gain returns
using them!


>>Verse 26 shows
  • how THE LORD confirms
  • that HE is strict in what HE requirers
  • as BOSS-OWNER-COMMANDER of HIS purchased slaves
  • [that we are] and

as CAPITALIST of HIS
funded workers.



>>Verse 27 shows
  • how THE LORD wants us
  • to get HIS gifts / talents combined for the salvation of people and
  • get HIS riches ministered to them
  • and never to be just by our unilateral decision
  • kept from that purpose and intent.

INTEREST here means
THE PROFITABLE RESULT
that would mean
A LOT to HIM.

  • A very well repeated truth as in >>verses 28-30 is
  • that the talents / gifts of faithful workers and slaves of THE BOSS-OWNER-COMMANDER
  • will be increased

while the fate of the
unfaithful ones will be
in the outer darkness.

  • Please refer to >>>T#010 for our obligations to one another as Christians
  • ... if only to realize how simple these things that are expected of us are put in words
  • so easy to understand if all of us Christians

ABANDON our GROUPS's
MADE-AVAILABLE
WORSHIP SERVICE to
Man & GOD

 which they
wrongly ascribe
as their & their GROUP's
obedience to
>>Hebrews 10:25

  because they are far, far away
from accomplishing

THE INTENDED PURPOSES
of GOD in the matter of

THEIR {>>> T#026}
 
>>>FELLOWSHIP & >>>WORSHIP

     
  • THE UNIVERSAL PRIESTHOOD of every believer in HIS LORDSHIP & HIS CHRISTHOOD

    in order for THEM to GIVE WAY TO
  • [which NO pastor / priest / minister / preacher / bishop
  • should ignore
  • hereafter]

kay dapat wala na untay
magpasalig-salig nila
nga ang ilang mga
ginsakopan
matun-an nila effectively

  • if only they will truly be honest
  • in wanting to be doing their obligations to HIM
  • as our and their CHIEF-PRIEST
  • through their-own planned-prepared-scheduled
  • Sunday sermons
  • mid-week cottage prayer meetings
  • special events, and organized seminars
  • where in all cases
  • dili man gud ONE TO ANOTHER
  • as THE CHRIST JESUS designed
  • kundili: kamo …, kamo…, sila…, sila…,
  • ug nag-EXEMPT NIYA
  • nga unta as per GOD’s WILL, WAY, METHODOLOGY, SET-UP, 

USA MAN LANG
UNTA SIYA SA
MAG-ONE-TO-ANOTHER
DIHA SA IYANG GI-TIGUM

  • under his COME & HEAR set-up nga
  • supak sa KANG LORD JESUS nga
  • "AS YOU GO, PREACH"....... methodology!

For our consequent
use hereafter,
so we can obey
>>1st Corinthians 14:26

as we individually obey


our UNIVERSAL PRIESTHOOD


& obey THE CHRIST's CALL for

OVERCOMERS!!
