Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the Church. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also.

Now, there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which interpretation is called Dorcas; this woman was full of good works and almdeeds which she did and it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died; whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber; But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat.

God expects us to work hard and be as productive as possible with the talent given to us. One may not be mistaken if one says that God encourages capitalist economy where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. One should understand that the lazy ones get poorer in a capitalist economy. A man told me that as long as he can think, he will never be poor. Everyone has God given talent, the level of wealth one acquires is dependent upon his ability to properly use his/her talent, How do you use your talents? Are you among the people that explores all avenues to ensure they achieve something reasonable? Make use of the talent God has given you, you will never be in need, God will through your talent bless you fabulously. Taken from the Lords Chosen Devotional Guide.

God has given to every man he created some talents in accordance to the person's ability. He expects each person to use the gift productively. Whoever that fails to use his talents renders the talent redundant and it will be taken away. We witnessed the two sides of the coin in the scripture above. If you read down you will see that two of the servants used their talents and made 100% profit while the lazy one dug the ground and buried his own. On the day of rendering the account to their master, their master was highly disappointed. He was forced to take the talent away from him and gave it to the more enterprising servant that had ten talents

For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. And unto one he gave ability and straightway took his journey.

In that situation that appears difficult or impossible, I urge you to put your trust in God. He knows there are treasures of darkness which you cannot access except God makes Himself available and provide light that will show the way. he hidden riches in secrete places are for God's children. You are entitled to them.

The lesson for us here is that those things that will address your needs are not on the surface. Those matters that are meant to benefit you financially, physically and spiritually, are not commonplace. They are hidden to be sought for. The assurance to us all is that we serve a good God, one who knows what is good for His people; and how to make them available to us.

Why would God make the crooked places straight, break in pieces the gates of brass and cut in pieces the bars of iron? He will do this in order to ensure that you enjoy the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places for you to know that the God who calls you by His name is the God of Israel, that is the Almighty God.

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls
