LET'S MAXIMIZE WHAT GOD HAS ALREADY GIVEN US BEFORE ASKING FOR MORE! #parablesofjesus #parableofthetalents #matthew #matthew25
Welcome back my beautiful, intelligent, resilient gems. Niadi here! Join me for a car chit chat about God's desire for our good stewardship before giving us more! In this video, I discuss the Parable of the Talents. What a beautiful story in Matthew 25. I feel inspired! Often we continuously ask God for more BEFORE really taking inventory of our lives to pinpoint what we are NOT using. I charge us to begin asking God to show us what we don't see. What are we not "using up" in our lives? Lord I pray that we all utilize our gifts to the best of our ability and steward them well before the multiplication. IN JESUS' NAME!!
COMMENT BELOW: y'all talk to me in these comments! What can we learn from the 1 talent-er who burried his talent? What was in his heart/spirit that made him bury what God gave him to multiply? What can we also learn from the 2 and 5 talent-ers?

Wow, not me rewatching this!!! 21:20 SO GOOD!!! THANK YOU JESUS FOR THIS WORD
one moe time: GOD IS INCREDIBLE!!!!
This really touched me because I’m in a season of wanting more but God is like “ u can’t even with hold what I already gave u “. The talents he has given me , I brush it off and yern for more !! I feel stuck kinda unsatisfied with life . Feeling like ppl around me are getting the blessing I “ deserve” but it’s like if your plate is too full there’s nothing he can add too because ur not grateful . Amen
Hey sis! I love that you mention gratefulness. A grateful heart is one that can be blessed with more! One thing I try to do when I find myself comparing my life to others is jotting down everything that I DO have and IS going well for me - down to the simplest things like I can see the wind blowing the trees. Spending time in nature and realizing that some people can't walk how you can, see as clear as you can etc. When we try to remind ourselves that the simple things are gifts from God, that helps the mood shift! Additionally, serving others in some way may be a great way to express gratitude and shift.
Yes to he can't trust us with more if we aren't showing him we can properly steward over what we have right now. Taking inventory of our lives and jotting down what we have - that could be creative ideas we never act on, savings/new income coming in, natural talents that come easy to us like writing, dancing, building relationships with children, etc. - taking inventory of those things and figuring out if we have truly used those blessings to the best of our abilitiy. If the answer is NO, which it typically is lol there lies our work!!!
MY PRAYER FOR US - God, please show us what we have that we are not using and/or stewarding to the best of our ability. Help us see what you see in us. Give us the ability to maximize this thing in this season so we can be prepared for more! Remind us that comparison is unfair because the blessings and callings you have for OUR lives are completely different from the next person. We are in different lanes. We can not compare what is incomparable. Amen!
😍😍😍
Thank you for watching! Don’t
Forget to let me know your thoughts about the talents…
To the man he gave one talent to when the scripture states “You knew that I reap where I have not sown”, what the Holy Spirit spoke to me was this. “I gave you life, you wasted it and threw it away, and expected to receive new life?”
We as humans get entitled with God thinking because He created us and He loves us, that He’s obliged to give us everything we want. We must look at everything in perspective. If a natural parent gave their child everything they wanted, simply because that’s their child, we would look at them crazy!
Same with our Heavenly Father. We are not promised eternal life, if we chose to destroy our temple and throw away the “talent” He’s given us.
Just WOW. "I gave you life - you wasted it and thew it away and expected to receive new life?" That was good! I love how you applied the scripture to our bodies/temples. That could also be a separate conversation!!!! He loves and forgives us but requires much of us at the same time. It is not enough to say "God will just forgive me." The comparison to our earthly parents was a great visual for me as well so thank you! If we can think of God as a parent, I think that will help many folks' understanding/making sense of what is going on in their lives. Thank you so much for sharing!
So when I hear this story, it always has a different interpretation every time. But the main thing I always understand from this parable is “TO MUCH IS GIVEN, MUCH IS REQUIRED”! Nd yes, your right. To Stewart your “talents” you do need faith.
When Travis Greene preaches he says "you got to read the Bible, then you got to READ the Bible" and man!!! That is a WORD. When you READ the Bible that second, third, fourth and fifth go round, I am certain New understanding takes place.
If he is to trust us with more, we definitely have to steward over what has already been given. And sometimes (read: oftentimes) we get in our OWN way. Sometimes we need strength and discipline our flesh can't provide and that is where the faith and prayer comes in - God can you give me strength, discipline and new thought processes I can't necessarily give myself in this season?
Thank you for tapping in! I enjoyed reading your thoughts :)
@@MightyIntellectual and thank you. I enjoy the revelations you give to me. Reading the Bible does come with MEDITATION afterwards and I’m realizing that that’s where the revelation comes sometimes. God is such a mystery man 😂. Also I appreciate the time you take to respond. Making these videos is something I would like to continue doing also but I be torn. So keep this territory you got going on UA-cam and I know God got you. …….. ummm 🤔…… btw…. Your beautiful, very! Excuse me if I’m outta line for that 😔😔.
Omg sister I’m on the Bible project heavy !!!
yess GWORL, I love the Bible project!! A few friends put me on to it this past year and it helps me tremendously with general context of the books before I start reading which further helps my own thought processes while I'm reading. Get into itttt
😂😂😂 DEFINITELY RESONATES…..
I'm sooo happy my thoughts in the video resonated with you!
