Doing what you can with the ability given to you by God

KEY SCRIPTURE- Matthew 25:14-30

We are all given different abilities through the grace of God. It is therefore important that we become good stewards of the abilities given to us by God.

Unfortunately, we neglect and fail to use the abilities God has given us when we have the opportunity.

As a result, there are outcomes of our actions:

1. We Experience Hardships.

2. We Experience Delay.

3. We Miss Our Opportunities. (Deuteronomy 35:51)

4.We Experience Jealousy. (Gen 4:7)

5. We Blame Authority.
   

6. We Become Critics.

1. Excuses. (Luke 14:18)

2. Doing Comparisons: comparing yourself with others.

HOW TO OVERCOME THE HINDRANCES.

• Start here and now. (Mark 15:43-46)
• Start with what you have. (2 Kings 4:2)
• Willingness of the heart. (Exodus 25:2)
• Stay focused. (Hebrews 12:1)
• Align yourself with the will of God. (John 5:19)

BENEFITS OF DOING WHAT YOU CAN
