0400 Part 4 - Multiplication, Not Preservation

The reason why your talent is so small because it’s your seed, not your harvest That’s why it’s small cause it’s just a seed not a harvest…if you use it, it will bring you great harvest The one with one talent dug it in the ground to preserved it We complain with the amount – the purpose is to multiply it

You don’t get rewarded for not losing your talent, but only for multiplying it Paul kept his faith? He shared his faith, and put his life the line Whoever keeps his life will lose it whoever gains his life would lose it Young rich ruler kept it

God’s definition of faithfulness is not preservation but multiplication If you’re faithful you’ll be fruitful. Faithfulness is fruitfulness

“Follow Me and I will make you fishers of man” Mark 1:17 Jesus didn’t say follow Me and I will make you a better person We are here today not because people before us followed Christ but because they were fishers of man

Pharaoh wanted Israel not to multiply but to preserve what they got. Enemy’s plan! They do not light a lamp and put it under a basket Matt.5:15

“And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground” Matthew 25:25

No Risk = No Reward To win a game you have to risk loss To eat an egg you have to break the shell – overcome your fear 20 years from now you will more disappointed with things you didn’t do than things you did do

Safe Zone or Faith Zone Miracles don’t exist in safe zone (Red Sea, 300 musicians, Goliath, Jonathan) Warzone is not safe but that’s where victory is A ship in harbor is safe but that is not what ships are for

Step out of your boat of safety like Peter Many ideas have been lost because the people who had them could not stand being laughed at

Fear of failure, fear of risks, fear of highs, fear of discomfort, fear of uncertainty, fear of change

No growth without change, no change without pain

Courage is required with taking your promise land…it’s a risk

Fear sometimes is the mask for laziness
