“The master was full of praise. ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!'” (Matt 25:21) In this parable, the Author (Jesus) is giving us an advance hint of what is to come later in our story and this literary device is known as foreshadowing. In contrast to one who was given 5 bags of gold, the dude who received 1 bag of gold chose to operated in the spirit of fear and slothfulness. Therefore, he did nothing with what his Master had given him. How many of us have taken that ‘one’ gift God has bequeathed and buried it in fear?
  
If this message is for you, I have orders from the Master that grants you authority to exhume that gift, talent, or treasure! So today, remember our talents are given to us not to be buried, rather to use them in concert with God’s divine plan and His Kingdom purpose.
