STEP INTO THE WONDERS OF THE WORD WITH ME!

Psalm 22 is the prophetic psalm of the crucifixion.

Prophetically written by David, consciously stepped into by Jesus.

When Jesus cried, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” He wasn’t losing faith, He was fulfilling Scripture. In Jewish understanding, quoting the opening line invoked the entire psalm, Jesus was declaring: this is happening now.

Psalm 22 describes:
• Mockery
• Public humiliation
• Pierced hands and feet
• Gambling for garments
• A righteous sufferer surrounded by enemies

Written nearly 1,000 years before the cross.

Then comes the line that stops you cold:

“But I am a worm, and no man…” (Ps. 22:6)

This was actually a prophetic picture, and not just any worm…the Hebrew word is tōlāʿ…the crimson worm.

This was a known creature in the ancient world. The female crimson worm attaches herself permanently to wood, dies to protect her children with her body, and becomes a covering for them. She never moves again. After her purpose is complete, she dies in place, leaving behind a crimson stain on the wood.

Jewish Tradition states that after three days, the worm turns white and falls off the tree, leaving the crimson stain!

From this worm came the scarlet dye used in priestly garments and tabernacle worship. Crimson only came through sacrifice.

David was describing humiliation, the Spirit was pointing to redemption. Jesus fulfilled it on wood.

Fixed. Exposed. Mocked. Bleeding. Giving life so others could live. Creation itself was already telling the story.

Psalm 22 doesn’t end in death.
It ends in victory.

“He has done it.”

It is finished.

When Malachi spoke of the coming Messiah, he used images that may have sounded more meaningful to his original audiences than to us modern readers.

He asked, “Who can endure the day of His coming?
And who can stand when He appears?"

These questions are not raised
because the Messiah will be cruel,
but because His work will be thorough
and seriously uncomfortable.

Malachi described Him
to come “like a fuller’s soap".

This is meant to emphasize
the careful and intentional cleansing
which the Messiah will do rather
than just reckless destruction.

The image of fuller’s soap is quieter
than the image of the refining fire
especially to us modern readers
but is even more disturbing
to the ears of the original audiences.

In the ancient world,
a fuller did not clean garments gently.

There were no pleasant fragrances
or mild solutions like what we have now.

Fuller’s soap was harsh and alkaline.
The cloth was worked aggressively.
It was rubbed, pressed, and beaten.

But this process was not meant
to destroy the garment in any way.
It was meant to cleanse it completely.

Malachi perhaps chose this image,
because God’s cleansing is not superficial.

The Messiah will not come to improve appearances.
He came to address what is deeply embedded,
what has accumulated over time,
and what cannot be removed with a simple rinse.

This is not judgment for the sake of punishment.
It is purification for the sake of God’s presence.
Malachi says the result is a people
who can once again bring offerings
to the Lord in righteousness.
(For context, the people Malachi was speaking to
were people who have normalized bringing
unacceptable and blemished offerings
before the altar at the newly built temple.)

The goal is not outward perfection,
but lives made fit to stand before a holy God.

When the New Testament opens,
this promise begins to take visible form.

Jesus did not only forgive sin.
He confronted it, named it, and exposed it.

He told the Samaritan woman caught in adultery,
“Neither do I condemn you, go,
and from now on sin no more”.

His forgiveness is real,
but it is never detached from transformation.

He touched what is unclean (Mark 1:40–42),
ate with sinners (Luke 5:30–32),
and called people to repentance (Mark 1:15).
Those He encounters are not left unchanged.

His mercy is gentle, but His cleansing goes deep.

Like fuller’s soap, His work can feel abrasive.
It challenges pride, unsettles self-made righteousness,
and disrupts sins we have learned to tolerate.

But it is important to remember that
He cleans because He intends
to dwell with His people (John 14:23).

Malachi’s message was never meant
to produce or instill fear alone.
It was meant to offer hope.

God was promising a people so purified
that they could live in His nearness again.

Even now, when Christ patiently
exposes, refines, and washes
what remains in us, it is not because
He intends to discard the garment.

It is because He intends to claim it as His own,
it just had to go through proper cleansing
through the fuller's soap.

The question for us now,
are we willing to daily be cleansed
by and with the fuller's soap?

The second prodigal son is often overlooked, yet his story may be the most confronting part of Jesus’ parable in Luke 15. While the younger son runs away and wastes everything, the older son stays close, works hard, and does all the right things. Outwardly, he looks faithful. Inwardly, he is just as lost. Jesus tells this story not to expose rebellion, but to reveal how easily performance can replace relationship.

When the younger son returns home and is welcomed with celebration, the older brother is furious. Luke 15:28 says he “became angry and refused to go in.” This reaction reveals something grace uncovers but legalism hides. The older son obeyed, but he did not feel secure. He worked, but he did not feel loved. His anger exposes a heart that believed acceptance was earned, not given.

The language the older son uses is revealing. He tells his father, “All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders” in Luke 15:29. He does not speak like a son. He speaks like a servant trying to secure wages. Grace exposes this quiet lie. Proximity to God does not automatically produce intimacy with God. You can stay near and still live as though love must be deserved.

The heart of the Father is seen most clearly in how He responds. He does not shame the older son. He goes out to him. He pursues the one who stayed. He says in Luke 15:31, “My son, you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.” This is not correction through threat. It is correction through reassurance. The Father reminds him that inheritance was never tied to effort. It was always his.

This is where the finished work of Jesus Christ brings clarity. The older brother lived as though obedience secured blessing, while grace declares that blessing flows from sonship. Ephesians 1:3 tells us that God has already blessed us with every spiritual blessing in Christ. Not after perfect behavior. Not after years of loyalty. Already.

The older son’s struggle was not sin in the obvious sense. It was self righteousness. Romans 10:3 describes this posture clearly, saying people can seek to establish their own righteousness rather than receive what God gives. The older brother did not trust the Father’s goodness. He trusted his record. Grace dismantles that system entirely.

Jesus tells this parable to religious listeners who believed closeness to God was proven by separation from sinners. The Father shatters that belief by celebrating restoration instead of rewarding comparison. Grace offends performance because it removes leverage. No one gets to boast. No one gets to compete.

The tragedy of the second prodigal is that the party was happening, the inheritance was secure, and the Father was pleading, yet he stood outside. Grace was available, but he could not enjoy it because he believed he had to earn what was already his.

This story invites us to ask an honest question. Are we living as sons and daughters, or as servants hoping our faithfulness will finally be noticed. The heart of the Father has never been impressed by performance. He has always been moved by relationship.

The good news is that the invitation remains open. The Father is still outside, still speaking, still welcoming. Grace is not only for those who ran away. It is for those who stayed and never realized they were already home.

🚨 Did a Man Wrestle God Himself… or an Angel? The Bible’s Most Unsettling Encounter Explained

One of the strangest and most misunderstood moments in the Bible happens in Genesis 32, when Jacob spends an entire night physically wrestling a mysterious being. The text says Jacob wrestled “a man.” By morning, Jacob is injured, renamed, and forever changed.

But here’s the question most Christians never slow down to ask:

Was Jacob wrestling God Himself… or an angel?

The answer is not as simple as people want it to be—and the Bible leaves it intentionally unclear.

Genesis 32 describes the figure only as a man. Yet after the struggle ends, Jacob makes a shocking declaration:
“I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered.”
He names the place Peniel, meaning Face of God.

So which is it?

The confusion deepens when the prophet Hosea looks back on this same event centuries later and gives us another detail. Hosea says Jacob “strove with the angel and prevailed,” and then, without pause, refers to that same being as the LORD, the God of hosts.

An angel… yet God.

This is not a contradiction. It’s a theological tension the Bible refuses to resolve for us.

Throughout Scripture, there is a unique figure called the Angel of the LORD—not a typical angel, but a divine messenger who speaks as God, carries God’s authority, receives worship, and even renames people. Many theologians believe this figure represents a divine manifestation of God, possibly even a pre-incarnate appearance of Christ.

What Scripture does not say is that Jacob wrestled God in His full, unveiled essence. The Bible is clear that no one can see God fully and live. Instead, God meets Jacob in a form he can survive, yet one powerful enough to break him.

And that is the point of the story.

Jacob does not win by strength. He clings. He refuses to let go. He demands a blessing. And in that moment, he is no longer Jacob. He becomes Israel—one who wrestles with God and lives marked by the encounter.

Whether Jacob wrestled God directly or a divine being acting with God’s full authority, the conclusion remains the same:

This was not symbolism.
This was not a dream.
This was not metaphor.

It was a real, physical struggle that left a man permanently changed.

The Bible leaves the question open on purpose—not to confuse us, but to confront us.

Because the real issue is not who Jacob wrestled.

It’s whether we are willing to cling to God when the encounter costs us comfort, control, and identity.

And like Jacob, walk away changed—limping, humbled, but blessed.

THE LACK OF CONSECRATION IN BELIEVERS

There seems to be a lack of deep consecration to do God’s will among some Christians today. Recently, I was thinking about the difference between my experiences in Full Gospel circles fifty years ago and today. As I compared Full Gospel believers then and now, I realized there wasn’t nearly as much sickness among Spirit-filled Christians fifty years ago as there is today.
I remembered the great manifestations of the Holy Spirit we used to experience in our meetings. The move of the Holy Ghost was also much greater and in more consistent demonstration back then than it is today. As I was thinking about this, the Spirit of God said to my spirit, “Yes, and the consecration of My people was greater too.”
Let that soak in! Whether we choose to consecrate ourselves to obey God or choose not to obey God, it affects every other area of our lives as well!
I’m thoroughly convinced of the truth of what the Lord said to me. The consecration of believers was much deeper fifty years ago than it is today. Believers’ appreciation and reverence for the things of God and the move of the Holy Spirit was much deeper too. And as a result, God honored that depth of consecration and reverence by giving His people great manifestations of the Holy Ghost.

Believers today need greater consecration and dedication to God. In the churches I pastored in the 1940s, we used to gather around the altar and pray at the end of nearly every service. We often sang the old hymn, “Is Your All on the Altar of Sacrifice Laid?”[1]We don’t sing hymns like that much anymore, but many folks today need to heed the message of some of those old scriptural hymns.
It seems that many believers are willing to lay some things on the altar, but not all! But God’s plan for their lives is hindered and many of His blessings are withheld because they haven’t totally consecrated themselves to do God’s will instead of their own.
Ministers need to teach about consecration so people’s hearts will be stirred to surrender everything to God and to consecrate themselves wholly to follow God’s plan for their lives.
Consider your own consecration to the Lord. Consider whether or not you are able to say from your heart, “Lord, I’ll do whatever You ask me to do. I’ll go anywhere You want me to go. And I’ll stay where I am if You tell me to stay. No matter where You lead me, I’ll carry the good news of Jesus Christ to others.”
You see, you need to be willing to do anything God wants you to do. You need to commit yourself to obey God and do His will every day for the rest of your life.
Since I was first born again at the age of sixteen, I’ve understood the importance of total consecration to the Lord. I’ve been a Christian more than half a century, and I’m still praying the same prayer of consecration I prayed more than fifty years ago. I’m still praying, “Lord, I’ll go where You want me to go. If You want me to go to Africa, I’ll go. If You want me to stay where I am, I’ll stay. I’ll do what You want me to do.”

Also, notice Jesus didn’t just pray this prayer one time. He prayed virtually the same prayer three times (Matt. 26:39,42,44).
You see, the prayer of consecration is not a one-time prayer, as is the prayer of faith. The prayer of consecration is a prayer you pray throughout your life. You will only be able to follow God’s plan for your life if you constantly maintain an attitude of consecration and surrender to the Lord’s will, whatever it might be.

THE SPIRITUAL REALITY BEHIND ADULTERY

This message is not designed to attract applause or popularity.
It is written as a warning, a guide, and a call to wisdom.
Not to condemn, but to preserve lives, futures, and souls.

S*xual sin is often discussed lightly in our generation, especially adultery.
Many view it as a private act, an emotional choice, or a moment of weakness.
But Scripture consistently reveals that adultery is far deeper than an emotional or moral failure.

It is a violation of spiritual order.

S*x is not merely physical.
Marriage is not merely legal.
Both are covenantal realities established and defended by God Himself.

When a man sleeps with a married woman, he is not only interacting with a person.
He is intruding into a covenant he did not institute, but one God actively witnesses and protects.

THE SPIRITUAL REALITY BEHIND ADULTERY

Scripture teaches that sexual union creates oneness.

“He who joins himself to a woman becomes one body with her” (1 Corinthians 6:16).

This means sexual intimacy establishes spiritual connection.
It is never neutral.

Through adultery, multiple connections are formed:

A spiritual bond with the woman
An indirect entanglement with her husband
An offense against the covenant binding them

This kind of defilement is not erased by secrecy, denial, or casual prayer.
It requires truth, repentance, and separation.

THE CONSEQUENCES OF VIOLATING COVENANT

Marriage is a covenant witnessed by God.

“The Lord is witness between you and the wife of your covenant” (Malachi 2:14).

Covenants carry protection, but when violated, they also release consequences.
Not because God delights in punishment, but because spiritual laws have been breached.

Such violations often open doors to:

Unexplained delays
Persistent confusion
Cycles of frustration and loss
Diminishing favor and clarity

Many struggle with prolonged hardship without realizing the root may lie in a hidden breach of covenant order.

THE TRANSFER OF UNINTENDED BURDENS

Adultery is not isolated.
Spiritual transfers occur through intimacy.

These may include:

Emotional wounds that are not yours
Conflicts originating from another household
Spiritual heaviness and inner unrest
Patterns of struggle that seem foreign to your history

“Harlotry takes away the heart” (Hosea 4:11).

You may find yourself fighting battles you never consciously chose, because intimacy made you a participant.

THE EROSION OF SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY

A person may still pray while living in adultery, but Scripture teaches that sin affects spiritual access.

“If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me” (Psalm 66:18).

This often manifests as:

Prayer becoming difficult or dry
Dreams losing clarity
Spiritual sensitivity diminishing
Boldness before God fading

The issue is not that God has moved away, but that conscience and alignment have been compromised.

THE OPENING OF DOORS TO OPPRESSION

Scripture speaks plainly:

“He who commits adultery lacks understanding; he destroys his own soul” (Proverbs 6:32).

Adultery grants legal access to destructive patterns, including:

Bo***ge to lust
Mental and emotional confusion
Repeated setbacks
Unexplainable inner conflict

What begins as pleasure often matures into warfare.

THE LONG-TERM DAMAGE TO DESTINY

Spiritual principles operate on seed and harvest.

“Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” (Galatians 6:7).

Hidden actions eventually produce visible consequences.
Seeds planted in secrecy often grow into public pain, affecting future marriage, credibility, and purpose.

A WORD OF HOPE, NOT CONDEMNATION

This message is not written to destroy hope.

Where there is genuine repentance, there is forgiveness.
Where there is humility, there is restoration.

But repentance is not symbolic.
It is practical and decisive:

End the relationship completely
Create clear separation
Seek cleansing and accountability
Return to a path of holiness and wisdom

Grace is powerful, but grace does not dismiss truth.

WISDOM TO CONSIDER

Adultery:

Defiles the inner life
Violates sacred covenant
Transfers unnecessary burdens
Weakens spiritual clarity
Invites avoidable conflict
Gradually erodes destiny

What feels pleasurable today can become costly tomorrow.

Wisdom listens before consequences teach.

May this serve as a caution to the wise,
and a doorway to repentance and restoration for those willing to turn.

IF YOU RECEIVE THIS ATTACK, STOP FASTING AND PRAYER & DO THIS IMMEDIATELY — APOSTLE AROME OSAYI

Not every spiritual attack is meant to be confronted with more fasting and louder prayer. There are attacks designed specifically to weaken discernment and drain spiritual strength. Spiritual maturity is not measured by how much pressure you apply, but by how accurately you respond. Without discernment, zeal can become destructive.

One such attack manifests as deep spiritual fatigue and disorientation. You notice sudden heaviness, emotional numbness, loss of clarity, confusion, and an unusual resistance to prayer that grows stronger the more you push. This is not laziness, and it is not carnality — it is an assault on the soul. Continuing aggressive fasting in this state can open you up to greater vulnerability.

In moments like this, wisdom demands a shift from warfare to restoration. Eat, sleep, worship softly, meditate on Scripture, and reconnect with spiritual authority. Elijah reached a breaking point after intense spiritual exertion, and God did not command more prayer — He commanded rest and nourishment (1 Kings 19). Preservation is also a spiritual strategy.

Victory is not always about pressing harder; sometimes it is about recovering properly. A preserved vessel can fight again. A broken one cannot. Knowing when to stop is not weakness — it is wisdom that protects destiny.

THE MISTAKES SOME EARLY HEALING MINISTER'S MADE THAT SHORTENED THEIR LIFE AND MINISTRY.
- Kenneth E. Hagin

Some people who minister under the anointing know nothing about faith. That was one of the major problems we had in the days of the great Healing Revival here in the United States in 1947-58.
Almost all of the healing evangelists were ministering under the anointing—the power of God—but some of them knew very little about the Bible. (They made some of the most stupid statements concerning the Bible you ever heard in your life.)
Most of the ministers involved in this movement belonged to the Voice of Healing organization. We always had a convention at Thanksgiving. At our 1954 convention in Philadelphia, I said to some of the brethren, "When all the rest of these fellows are gone, I'll still be out there ministering." They're all gone except one or two of us, and I'm still ministering.
Why? Because I saw the difference between ministering under an anointing and ministering by faith, and I minister both ways.
What happened to the others? Preacher after preacher got sick themselves. These were men who had been mightily used of God to do marvelous things, but they ministered only under the anointing. Some of them came to talk to me after they got sick.
One man said, "This anointing—this gift or whatever ministry I've got—will work for other people, but it won't work for me." (The anointing is always there to minister to somebody
else.) "Why won't it work for me?" he asked.
I said, "God didn't give the ministry of the apostle to minister to the apostle. He gave it to minister to the Body of Christ. You're going to have to get healed like the rest of us—by
faith—or else do without it." He looked at me like he'd seen a ghost.
"Well," he said, "I guess I'll do without it, because I don't know anything about faith."
I said, "You ought to have been listening when some of us who do know something about it were preaching and teaching.The Healing Anointing Just because you're anointed to do something doesn't mean you know everything."
I'm thinking of another fellow.

One night they brought five adults from a school for the deaf and dumb to his service. All
five were instantly healed. He laid his hands on a blind woman.
Instantly her eyes were opened. Another person came in on a stretcher. Her doctor had given her up to die. She was instantly healed.
Yet the preacher didn't know a thing in the world about the Bible when it came to faith and very little when it came to healing. I nearly fell off my seat one night at one statement the
poor fellow made. And then he got sick.
The anointing would come on him, he'd minister under it, some of the greatest things you've ever seen would happen, and then the anointing would lift.
The anointing doesn't remain on you in manifestation, because you'd wear out physically. You couldn't stand it. It's like
getting hold of a live electric wire—you couldn't hold on to it forever.
I've had such a strong anointing on me that I've vibrated— I've shaken physically under it. Even my eyeballs jumped! I've had such a strong anointing on me that I couldn't even see the
crowd. They thought I was looking right at them, but I didn't even know they were there, for I was over in this other realm.

I get more results when I get over there, but I don't stay over there, because I can't stand it. My body's still mortal, and I can't stand it.
I've had to say to the Lord, "Lord, turn it off! Just turn it off!
I can't stand it. I can't take any more!"
Some time ago we were having dinner with friends in the ministry, and we were talking about the healing anointing.
This evangelist said, "Through the years, I've always woven in and out of the healing anointing—I haven't always had that
anointing on me—but in recent times it has come back on me."Sometimes I'm sitting here in the living room at night, talking to my wife, and when I get up to go to bed and step into
the bedroom, it's as if I've stepped into a room full of glory. It's just all over me. I can hardly stand it. It's the anointing—the healing anointing. I have to say, 'Lord, turn it off. I can't take any more.'"
I know exactly what he's talking about. Physically, you just can't take it. Jesus had the Holy Spirit without measure. If I get a little too much measure of it, I can't stand it.

I WAS AN ADDICT....
Several years ago, precisely 1982, at age 22, before I entered the ministry, during our church convention, I was standing outside the large church building on that Sunday morning, when a very famous music minister was called upon to come out and minister to us in song. She walked out to the front, grabbed the microphone and began to sing.

Shortly, the whole place became electrified with the presence of God. I and a lot of others were standing outside the large hall building because there was no longer space inside to sit. The anointing that morning was so heavy upon the congregation as the voice of that woman rent the hallowed chamber of the large hall.

As I listened to the songs she sang, I could not control myself anymore when I began to sob in tears and pray: "LORD, you are using a woman, use me too. I want to serve You. Use me too..."
This was all I was praying in tears, when I suddenly began to hear His voice coming up from me.

I heard Him plainly speaking to me: "I will use you, if you surrender your gift at my feet."

That was the contention, my Gift. The Talents. I was a gifted writer. I wrote drama script and novels. But the things I wrote at that time were non-christian literary pieces. Purely secular.

When the Lord was talking to me that morning, my heart went directly to the drama scripts I had just written which were not christian stories, but mere moral, theatrical secular themes. I heard Him that morning, telling me to stop using my writing gift to write whatever I liked. I heard Him speaking to me softly, persuasively, that He would use me beyond my wildest dream, if I could make a covenant with Him to use my writing Gifts for His glory alone. I heard Him telling me to go and pack all those uninspiring non-spiritual drama and novel scripts aside and abandon them and determine now to start writing for Him.

That was why I was crying. I was crying to be used by God like that woman who was singing. And I was crying because I was told to stop writing all those secular literary pieces I was writing if I would be used by God.

I didn't want to stop writing those theatrical dramatic pieces; I didn't want to stop writing those adventurous and investigative novels that profited the Heavens nothing.

That morning, in tears, I prayed and promised the Lord, I would stop writing those unchristian literary drama and poetic pieces. I told God I would release my gift to Him for His use.

I restrained for a while, but I soon backslid and went back writing those secular drama, poetic pieces and novels again. It was like I was drugged. It was like I was addicted to writing those plays, poems and novels. I was like a drunkard addicted to drinking. I was like a smoker addicted to smoking. I would write till my fingers began to hurt, and I would get someone to sit down and be writing for me, while I dictated. So, I backslid into writing again, what I told God I would not write again. I was hooked into writing secular dramatic, poetic and adventurous and investigative literary pieces.

In order to convince God otherwise or please Him, I adopted another strategy: I began writing Bible stories in dramatic form but with traditional secular themes, that had no reference to God or any spiritual lessons. One of such stories was the story of David and Uriah, but written in traditional war-drama, without any reference to God, Biblical or spiritual matter.. The Script became very theatrical and highly academic that one of the famous educational publishing company rated it presentable and approved for the 100 level University Yoruba Literature Class. Two other ones were already being prove-read in other publishing houses. I was glued to this gift. It had become an idol to me. I found it difficult to submit it at the feet of Christ. I could not do what the Lord was demanding from me. I love writing plays and poems that had nothing to do with Christ or the Kingdom of God, though I was a sound believer, a child of God.

I continues in this till one morning, the Lord showed me in a dream, that unless I obeyed Him and go urgently to withdraw those scripts from the publishing companies that had offered and prepared to publish them, the devil would use the publish books to rubbish my ministry later in life and He would not be able to do what He wanted to do in my life and ministry. He showed me in the dream it was urgent.

I had just organized a Drama Ministers Conference and had just taught many people how to write gospel drama for the expansion of the Kingdom of God. I had left those scripts with the publishing companies and they could bring the scripts out any time. I had already began my ministry and gone 4 or 5 years into the ministry by them.

I woke up in the morning and told my wife, I needed to travel to those publishers. I went to them and met one of the Publishing Directors who was, incidentally, in charge of that particular script. She was a woman and I told her what I had come to do. I had come to withdraw my script from publishing. I never wanted it to be published again. She tried to persuade me, but I stuck to my request. She said she was also a christian, but there was nothing bad in the script. I stuck to my demand. At last she agreed and said she would table the matter before the management and send the manuscript to me. She presented a document to me and I signed and I left the place. A week later, I got the script back. I was relieved. I then told the Lord, "I hereby submit all my gifts at your feet." And that was all.

Today, have I not produced more better drama scripts for the Lord? Have I not turned many drama scripts into great movies for the Kingdom of God? I may not be known as literary author today, but I am known as a Drama Minister in Nigeria and outside Nigeria.

Therefore, every gift is deposited in a person's life by God for the Expansion of the Kingdom of God, it is not meant to serve your pleasures and neither was it given to you to do whatever you like with it.
"For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country,..."

THE ISSUES OF GIFTS AND TALENTS ARE ABOUT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. It is a Kingdom's Issue. It is not a joking matter, it has to do with the matter of Eternal Life.. GIFT AND TALENT IS A KINGDOM ISSUE.
"...who called his own servants,..."

EVERYONE POSSESSING ONE TALENT OR THE OTHER HAS BEEN CALLED TO BE SERVANT OF GOD. Everyone with one Spiritual Gift or the Other has automatically been called as Servant of God, called by God to use the Gift and Talent for the Matter of the Kingdom of God. Because the Parable of the Talents is about the Kingdom of God.

Therefore, whatever gift you found out you have been endowed by God (music, drama, acting, singing, dancing, writing, poetry, administration, counseling, teaching, decoration, etc), it was deposited in your earthen vessel for the purpose of the Kingdom of God, by the Master who had travelled and is coming back for reckoning. It is not for pleasing the World or pleasing yourself or serving the purpose of the Devil.
