Well, turn with me this morning, if you would, to, anybody know where it is?

Matthew the 25th chapter.

Matthew 25 and 15.

Well, let's see, 14.

The kingdom of heaven, Jesus said, is like a man traveling into a far country who called

his own servants and delivered to them his goods.

To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one.

To every man according to his several or individual ability and straightway took his journey

that he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same and made them other

five talents and likewise he that had received two he also gained other two but he that had

received one went and digged in the earth and hid his Lord's money.

Do we know why now the Lord didn't give him five?

Why he didn't give him two?

Why he only gave him one?

Because he knew he wasn't going to do anything with the one he gave him.

How many know the Lord is very big on stewardship?

And this passage goes into talking about on faithfulness.

And what you receive tomorrow is being determined right now by what you're doing with what you have right now.

I know some years ago I was in the healing school at Brother Kenneth Hagan's ministry,

and I had been doing that for some time and it was very young in the Lord and in the

word.

And I just felt sometimes the need of the people and felt like I was inadequate.
