// Read: Matthew 25:14:29; I Corinthians 12:4-11 //
1 Corinthians 12:4-11
4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. 7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a] and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines. NIV

MEDITATION:
There is accountability in the kingdom of God. A day of reckoning! We were not given talents equally but the Giver expects increase and a return from everybody. Failure to bring returns or profit will lead to eternal damnation. This shows that every child of God must find out his endowment and profit with it in order to have eternal life. Do you know your endowment? Have you started profiting with it? Meditate on this passage and make amends.

PRAYER: Pray that you will know your gifts, graces and talents and profit with it.
