📖 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: 𝗔 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 The parable of the Master and his three servants (Matthew 25:14-30; Luke 19:11-27) is a profound lesson on stewardship, diligence and the consequences of inaction. It reminds us that we are all custodians of divine deposits—our talents, skills and opportunities.

🔹God has deposited something unique in every person.

🔹Talent is not limited to singing, writing or speaking; it can be your ability to listen, organize, empathize or solve problems.

🚨Too often, people waste their talents because they are unprepared, undisciplined, or influenced by the wrong crowd. Consider the stories of lottery winners who lost millions within a few years—their downfall was not from a lack of resources but from a lack of preparation, knowledge and wisdom.

🔎 Opportunities Are Everywhere, Even in Unexpected Places Opportunities rarely come in golden packages—they often come wrapped in hard work and humility.

📌 There is a compelling story of a young graduate in Lagos who saw opportunity where others saw waste. He began collecting garbage around the residential areas of Ikoyi. Through his diligence, an influential resident noticed his passion and gifted him a truck to expand his business. What started as a small effort turned into a thriving enterprise because he was willing to work hard and seize an opportunity that many would have scorned.

❌ Fear, procrastination and laziness are the greatest enemies of success.

❌ How many dreams have died because people waited for the “perfect moment”?

✔ Read books, take courses and seek mentorship.

✔ Surround yourself with people who inspire you and challenge you to grow.

✔ Bad company can derail your potential but the right company can elevate it.

🔹You are the steward of your talent, and God expects you to use it, multiply it, and bless others with it.

🔹Start where you are, use what you have, and trust that your diligence will attract the right helpers and opportunities.

📖 Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things(Matthew 25:23).
