What’s your ability to multiply?

What’s your ability to multiply? Do you know your ability to multiply is directly related to how much you know your God.
In the parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14-30, The talents were given to each of the three servants, accordingly to their ability. In other words, how much they knew the master and his nature.
The servant who received one talent couldn’t multiply what he got because of his limited knowledge of God.
His understanding of the nature of God was warped. He assumed God to be harsh, demanding and unjust.
This understanding caused great fear in him, and so he said, “I was afraid and I hid.”
On the other hand, the servant who received 5 talents or say 5000 USD invested all of it. Now this was such a big risk, yet he was not afraid because there was something about the nature of His master (God) that he knew.
His ability to multiply was not out of fear but love and assurance in the one who had trusted him with the gift.
Similarly, look at the prodigal son, who lost all that was assigned to Him. He didn’t even have a single talent left with him, unlike the servant mentioned In Matthew 25 parable. Yet, he knew about His father’s nature and the knowledge of his father’s love brought him back. He understood that even though he was not worthy as a son, he was loved, because ‘love’ was the nature of his father. And when he returned, he received much more than what he expected even in his wildest of dreams.
Yes, that’s how good our God is!
The Bible says that Grace is multiplied through the knowledge of God and of Jesus ( 2 Peter 1:2).
The grace to multiply is also multiplied through the knowledge of Him-the more you know Him, the more you can shall multiply what He has given you.
May we know Him more, to have a successful impact through our life.
Ability to multiply was not out of fear but love and assurance in the one who had trusted him with the gift.
