Christ was only given 3 years to
complete His heavenly mission. While the disciples would wonder about His lack of interest in eating and other natural things, He tried to enlighten them about the concept of time. He said, I must work the works of Him who sent me, while it is day; for night comes when no man can work.' in John 9:4. Time is an extremely precious and valuable commodity. And on top of that we don't know how much of it we truly have. People die at birth, at 5, at 10, at 20, at 30....there is no guarantee that we will have a long life. As believers, we do know we have a God-given purpose and He is expecting His heavenly vision to be advanced through our lives. The model prayer includes, '...thy will be done on earth AS IT IS in heaven'. Time is to be used to make IT happen on earth, while it is day, in our life time......
Talents are the skillsets and
abilities that God blessed us
with naturally or
allowed us to develop. In any case, He fully expects every born again
believer to contribute to the mission and vision of their local church. Believers who understand that they are to present themselves as a living sacrifice and have a heart for the things God has heart for have no problem in utilizing their talents and abilities to advance the Kingdom of God and to get the gospel of the Kingdom around the world.
However, when we feel we must be paid, or we must be rewarded in the earthly realm, we are taking a natural and not a spiritual approach to being used in the Christ's Kingdom.

Mathew 6:24 is one place where we do not find God pitching Himself against the Devil as His enemy but money. Matthew writes that no man can serve 2 masters. He wil either love one and hate the other or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. No man can serve both God and mammon. Mammon is money and apparantly God says we have the ability to serve it jus as we do Him. When our every day existence is based on gaining wealth, when it takes prioirty over the things of God and serving God, and especially we do illegal and ungodly things to procure it, we do NOT love God. Loving money makes you hate God, despise God and you therefore do no serve God. These are God's word not mine......
