Luke 19:15
20Then another came and said, Lord, here is your mina, which I have kept laid up in a [f]handkerchief.
21For I was [constantly] afraid of you, because you are a stern (hard, severe) man; you pick up what you did not lay down, and you reap what you did not sow.
We are all familiar with this story, "The Parable Of The Five Talents. When the master was leaving, he committed talents and transaction power into the hands of his servants, two of them were able to trade with the talents they were govern and successfully multiplied it but the last one told his master that "I know that you are a hard man", he had the wrong sense about his master and that affected the use of power that was given to him. Today we still manage in the life of sin, we struggle in every of our endeavors in life because we don't know who God is yet, we do not have a clear revelation of who he is.
The more you continue to commit sin the more you reduce God's value in your life. We must also understand that the assignment God has given to us must be finished and accomplished at the time frame God has given to you. Every time God has given to you is sufficient enough for you to make the impact that God wants you to make.
It is appropriate to always connect to God's grace. Everything God has handed over to bus is for a purpose, his grace is abundant and sufficient enough to see us through accomplishing them all. We must also understand that as an instrument in God's hand you are to make a soul witnesses to God's kingdom and His word, for every of your activity is going to stand for something in God's kingdom, it is going to stand as a witness gat while you were on earth this was what you did and these are your achievements.
The summary of your work here is going to have a voice before God that this was what you did. For you to be in a position you do not know the essence of, you can live your lice anyhow you like and anyhow you wish because you do not know and do not understand that you have no time.
For whatsoever God wants you to do is preparing you for the next phase of your life, every of the things you find yourself doing now is preparing you for the next phase of life, hence, "whatever your hand findeth doing, do it well". Another thing you need to do is to understand that the master will surely return and will return shortly.
The master Himself worked by example, there was an assignment before Him which he had to complete, so He came back to see what the servants had done with what what He kept in their care. If you engage effectively by trading what God has given to you, you cannot run at loss, He gave to them according to their several ability, so every ability that is functional in you now God gave it to you. The more you are faithful and the more you are consistent with Him the more you get from Him.
Revelation 22:12
12Behold, I am coming soon, and I shall bring My wages and rewards with Me, to repay and render to each one just what his own actions and his own work merit.
God cannot trust you with much now because you are not faithful with the little you have. If you are faithful in God's work He will expose you to a bigger one.
The position where everyone would declare their works was the position that the master would come.
There are people that appear to be serving God but they are not actually serving Him to heart.
Remainblessed

Good to hear from you vikebun, Thanks for sharing with Us!
@STEEMCHURCH
If we can relate properly to God's word, he will always add more value to our lives. We must always understand that God is ever faithful in all, and to His words He gives honour, hence in return we must always be faithful to Him as this is the only way we can be useful instruments to Him.
