What kingdom law underlies all personal and corporate development?
Matt. 25:14-30
This is called the "law of
use." Jesus told about a rich man who was going away on a trip and
distributed different resources to each of his servants. (Matt. 25:14-30).
Then he said, "Do business with these until I come back." Two servants invested what they were given,
but the third did not.
When the master
came back, he asked for an accounting.
The first two were praised and rewarded for their diligence, but when
Jesus told this story, the ending seemed unfair. He took away from the man who did not invest
and gave his talent to the most fruitful investor, firmly announcing this law
of the kingdom: "Unto every one hat hath shall be given…but from him that
hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath" (Matt.
25:29).
In other words, if you use what is
given to you, you will gain more. If you
fail to use what is given to you, you will lose even what you think you
have. Whether in physical intellectual,
financial, or relational dealings, whatever is given you, however small it is,
use it. Use it diligently and use it on an ever-increasing scale.
Set goal to increase whatever you do. This is the secret of the kingdom, which
guarantees success to any Christian who applies it.
