class=\"bookmenu\">713<\/td>\n<p><\/strong><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>I was shown that the parable of the talents has not been fully understood. This important lesson was given to the disciples for the benefit of Christians living in the last days. And these talents do not represent merely the ability to preach and instruct from the word of God. The parable applies to the temporal means which God has entrusted to His people. Those to whom the five and the two talents were given, traded and doubled that which was committed to their trust. God requires those who have possessions here, to put their money out to usury for Him\u2014to put it into the cause to spread the truth. And if the truth lives in the heart of the receiver, he also will aid with his substance in sending it to others; and through his efforts, his influence, and his means, other souls will embrace the truth, and begin also to work for God. I saw that some of God&#8217;s professed people are like the man who hid his talent in the earth. They keep their possessions from doing good in the cause of God. They claim that these are their own, and that they have a right to do what they please with their own; and souls are not saved by judicious efforts made by them with their Lord&#8217;s money. Angels keep a faithful record of every man&#8217;s work, and as judgment passes upon the house of God, the sentence of each is recorded by his name, and the angel is commissioned to spare not the unfaithful servants, but to cut them down at the time of slaughter. And that which was committed to their trust is taken from them. Their earthly treasure is then swept away, and they have lost all. And the crowns they might have worn, had they been faithful, are put upon the heads of those saved by the faithful servants whose means was constantly in use for God. And everyone they have been the means of saving, adds stars to their crown in glory, and increases their eternal reward. {1T 197.1}<\/p>\n<p>I was also shown that the parable of the unjust steward was to teach us a lesson. \u201cMake to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.\u201d If we use our means to God&#8217;s glory here, we lay up a treasure in heaven; and when earthly possessions are all gone, the faithful steward has Jesus and angels for his friends, to receive him home to everlasting habitations. {1T 198.1}<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much.\u201d He that is faithful in his earthly possessions, which are least, making a judicious use of what God has lent him here, will be true to his profession. \u201cHe that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.\u201d He that will withhold from God that which He has lent him, will be unfaithful in the things of God in every respect. \u201cIf therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?\u201d If we prove unfaithful in the management of what God lends us here, He will never give us the immortal inheritance. \u201cAnd if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man&#8217;s, who shall give you that which is your own?\u201d Jesus has purchased redemption for us. It is ours; but we are placed here on probation to see if we will prove worthy of eternal life. God proves us by trusting us with earthly possessions. If we are faithful to impart freely of what He has lent us, to advance His cause, God can entrust to us the immortal inheritance. \u201cYe cannot serve God and mammon.\u201d \u201cIf any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.\u201d {1T 198.2}<\/p>\n<p>God is displeased with the slack, loose manner in which many of His professed people conduct their worldly business. They seem to have lost all sense of the fact that the property they are using belongs to God, and that they must render to Him an account of their stewardship. Some leave their worldly business in perfect confusion. Satan has his eye on it all, and he strikes at a favorable opportunity, and by his management takes much means out of the ranks of Sabbathkeepers. And this means goes into his ranks. Some who are aged are unwilling to make any settlement of their worldly business, and in an unexpected moment they sicken and die. Their children who have no interest in the truth, take the property. Satan has managed it as suited him. \u201cIf therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man&#8217;s, who shall give you that which is your own?\u201d {1T 199.1}<\/p>\n<p>I was shown the awful fact that Satan and his angels have had more to do with the management of the property of God&#8217;s professed people than the Lord has. Stewards of the last days are unwise. They suffer Satan to control their business matters, and get into his ranks what belongs to, and should be in, the cause of God. God takes notice of you, unfaithful stewards; He will call you to account. I saw that the stewards of God can by faithful, judicious management keep their business in this world square, exact, and straight. And it is especially the privilege and duty of the aged, the feeble, and those who have no children, to place their means where it can be used in the cause of God if they should be suddenly taken away. But I saw that Satan and his angels exult over their success in this matter. And those who should be wise heirs of salvation almost willingly let their Lord&#8217;s money slip out of their hands into the enemy&#8217;s ranks. In this way they strengthen Satan&#8217;s kingdom, and seem to feel very easy about it! {1T 199.2}<\/p>\n<div class=\"previous\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/mtb.online\/spirit-of-prophecy\/testimonies-for-the-church-vol-1\/c34\/\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex\">\n<svg class=\"reader-arrow h-100 ma0 pa0\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path transform=\"rotate(180, 12, 12)\" stroke=\"none\" stroke-width=\"0\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" fill=\"#888888\" d=\"M 9.07,17.44 L 14.4,12.1 14.4,12.1 C 14.6,11.91 14.6,11.59 14.4,11.4 L 9.09,6.08 9.09,6.08 C 8.7,5.7 8.7,5.08 9.09,4.69 L 9.09,4.69 9.09,4.69 C 9.47,4.31 10.09,4.31 10.47,4.69 L 16.85,11.07 16.85,11.07 C 17.24,11.46 17.24,12.09 16.85,12.49 L 10.49,18.85 10.49,18.85 C 10.09,19.24 9.46,19.24 9.07,18.85 L 9.07,18.85 9.07,18.85 C 8.68,18.46 8.68,17.83 9.07,17.44 Z M 9.07,17.44\"><\/path><\/svg>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"next\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/mtb.online\/spirit-of-prophecy\/testimonies-for-the-church-vol-1\/c36\/\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex\">\n<svg class=\"reader-arrow\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path transform=\"rotate(0, 12, 12)\" stroke=\"none\" stroke-width=\"0\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" fill=\"#888888\" d=\"M 9.07,17.44 L 14.4,12.1 14.4,12.1 C 14.6,11.91 14.6,11.59 14.4,11.4 L 9.09,6.08 9.09,6.08 C 8.7,5.7 8.7,5.08 9.09,4.69 L 9.09,4.69 9.09,4.69 C 9.47,4.31 10.09,4.31 10.47,4.69 L 16.85,11.07 16.85,11.07 C 17.24,11.46 17.24,12.09 16.85,12.49 L 10.49,18.85 10.49,18.85 C 10.09,19.24 9.46,19.24 9.07,18.85 L 9.07,18.85 9.07,18.85 C 8.68,18.46 8.68,17.83 9.07,17.44 Z M 9.07,17.44\"><\/path><\/svg>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 35\u2014Lessons from the Parables Testimonies for the Church, vol. 1 Page Preface to Fourth Edition 2 The Background Of Volume One 5 Biographical Sketch 5 Chapter 1\u2014My Childhood 9 Chapter 2\u2014My Conversion 14 Chapter 3\u2014Feelings of Despair 21 Chapter 4\u2014Leaving the Methodist Church 35 Chapter 5\u2014Opposition of Formal Brethren 44 Chapter 6\u2014Advent Experience 48&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":21957,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/full-width.php","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-23497","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
