Multiply Your Gifts

 

Multiply Your Gifts

 “To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag, each according to his ability... After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.” – Matthew 25:15, 19 (NIV)

  Prayer Focus: Commit to using your talents for God’s glory. Ask for divine strategies to grow and multiply.

God has placed gifts, talents, and resources in your hands—not to be buried in fear or comparison, but to be multiplied for His glory.

In the Parable of the Talents, Jesus shows us that God expects us to steward what He gives us. Whether you’ve been given much or little, what matters is faithfulness. Are you using what’s in your hands to build His Kingdom?

Multiplying your gifts doesn’t mean striving in your own strength. It means showing up with excellence, stewarding your time, growing your skills, and being bold enough to invest your abilities—even when the outcome is uncertain. God rewards faithfulness, not perfection.

When we hide our gifts out of fear or self-doubt, we miss the opportunity to be a blessing and to walk in the abundance God intended. But when we trust Him and step out, He breathes on our efforts and brings supernatural increase.

 Reflect today:

• What gifts or resources has God placed in your hands?
  

• Am I playing small because of fear—or being faithful with what I have?
  
  

 Kingdom Truth: God doesn’t expect you to do everything—just to do something with what He gave you.

 Prayer:
Lord, thank You for the gifts You’ve entrusted to me. Help me to see them clearly and to use them courageously. I don’t want to hide what You’ve given me—I want to multiply it for Your glory. Show me where and how to invest what’s in my hands for Kingdom impact. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Affirmation:

I am a steward of the gifts God has placed within me. 

I will not bury what He has entrusted to me—I will grow it, nurture it, and multiply it for His glory. 

Every gift in my life has purpose, and I walk in boldness, creativity, and obedience. 

I am not afraid to invest what God has given me, because He is my source and increase comes from Him. 

I multiply my gifts with faith, excellence, and kingdom vision.

Altar Call: 

A Call to Experience God’s Love Personally.

Friend, as you’ve always heard about love in action — the kind of love that gives, serves, and forgives — maybe something stirred in your heart. Maybe you’ve longed for that kind of love in your life: a love that doesn’t fail, doesn’t abandon, and doesn’t ask you to earn it. I want you to know today — that love is real, and it’s found in Jesus Christ.

In a world that often feels cold, selfish, and empty, God offers you something different — Himself. He sent His Son, Jesus, not to judge you, but to rescue you. Not because you’re perfect, but because you’re loved. And He proved it by dying for your sins and rising again, so you could have new life, peace, and eternal hope.

You don’t need to fix yourself first. You don’t need to earn His love. You just need to say yes.

“But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” – Romans 5:8

Today, Jesus is knocking on the door of your heart. He’s offering you more than religion — He’s offering a relationship. A new beginning. A clean slate. A chance to not only receive His love, but to become someone who lives it and reflects it in this world.

If you're ready to make that decision — to invite Jesus into your life — pray this simple prayer with sincerity:

Salvation Prayer

“Lord Jesus,

I acknowledge that I need You.

I have sinned, and I can’t save myself.

But I believe You died for me and rose again.

Today, I open my heart and ask You to come in.

Forgive me, change me, and make me new.

From this day forward, I choose to follow You.

Thank You for loving me first.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

If you prayed that prayer, welcome to the family of God! Heaven rejoices over your decision, and so do we. Look for a Believing Church around you to join. Thank you
