The purpose of all the endowments God has given to you can be understood in the question He asks everyone who comes across Luke 12: 42 - 44, which goes thus:
42. .., “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time?
43. It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns.
44. Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
We need to understand and therefore remember at all times that all we have originated from God and therefore actually belongs to Him.
We are mere stewards of what He has so graciously bestowed upon us for the purpose of living an abundant life and blessing others and we should also have in mind that we will have to give account to God for the breath of life He gave us and how we have handled His possessions like the men in the Parable of the bags of Gold found in Matthew 25: 14 - 30.
It is noteworthy to add that after reading that parable, people deceive themselves by failing to see themselves in anything but the position of the wicked and lazy servant, who knew what his master (Jesus) desired of the wealth he was given but was disobedient in its fulfillment.
The parable is a warning and wake-up call to us all to remember the various talents and numerous endowments God has blessed us with and be faithful in using them to bless others and therefore fulfil the Great Commission as the Ambassadors of Christ we were born to be in our brief sojourn on this earth.
Finally,
May the grace of God made available to you as a result of reading this message and taking to heart the scriptures within about Giving Always empower you to do just that, in Jesus name.
Amen.
