Matthew 25:14-30

[14] “For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. 
[15] And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey. 
[16] Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents. 
[17] And likewise he who had received two gained two more also. 
[18] But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money. 
[19] After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them. 
[20] “So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’ 
[21] His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ 
[22] He also who had received two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.’ 
[23] His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ 
[24] “Then he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 
[25] And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.’ 
[26] “But his lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed. 
[27] So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest. 
[28] Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents. 
[29] ‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. 
[30] And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

MFM Daily Devotional Message Sunday, 21st June, 2026.
The parable of talents contains important lessons for all believers today in the and eternity. In this parable, our Lord, Jesus speaks about the rewards of being a faithful servant in His kingdom. Those who invest their time and talents wisely are praised and rewarded. He is not asking for big, grand actions. He is only seeking faithfulness even in small things.

He is pleased when we are faithful in the small, everyday tasks. Whether it is in our place of work, in the church, community, or wherever. Faithfulness is what matters most to Him. The big question here is, what differentiated the faithful servants from the unfaithful ones? I know your answer will be faithfulness, and you are right. So perhaps we may ask what made the faithful ones remain faithful.

Faithfulness is a thing of the heart. It is loyalty which stems from the fact that you are happy to be where you are and doing what you are doing. The conditions of service were practically the same, but the unfaithful servant was not happy with his master. The lack of joy conditioned him for laziness and wickedness. Lack of joy can make us judge others, albeit unjustly. He judged his master when he did not have the right to do so. He was completely blinded and consumed by his frustrations, and he ended up a bitter man.

Beloved, you need to watch it; if you no longer find contentment in your job, career, ministry or relationship, you need to go to God in prayer and sort out whatever is the issue so you don’t end up in condemnation like the lazy, wicked servant in the parable of the talents. Frustration has led many to unreasonable actions, which have resulted in more trouble for them physically and spiritually.
