LUK 19:13 And he called his ten servants and delivered them ten pounds and said to them , occupy till I come.
A certain noble man called his ten servant and gave them money to invest wisely while he was away. Ten pounds was equivalent to one hundred days wages of an ordinary worker. When he returned, he found that some of his workers had done an extremely good job in increasing his wealth. He praised and rewarded them.
However, one worker was afraid of failure and he hid the pound away. When the master came back, he reprimanded him for even not meeting the ” minimum ” expectation; putting the money on deposit so that it could earn interest. What he had was taken away from him and given to the one who had ten.
Christian friends, God has given us finances, gifts , talents and other resources for us to work with until he comes. We must occupy ourselves by making good use of everything we have. Like the hardworking servants who were rewarded, we will also receive our rewards. There is a great reward for faithfulness and good stewardship.
