The Parable of the Talents
14
For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his
servants and entrusted to them his property. 15 To one he
gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each
according to his ability. Then he went away. 16 He who had
received the five talents went at once and traded with
them, and he made five talents more. 17So also he who had
the two talents made two talents more. 18 But he who had
received the one talent went and dug in the ground and
hid his masters money. 19Now after a long time the master
of those servants came and settled accounts with them.
20
And he who had received the five talents came forward,
bringing five talents more, saying, Master, you delivered to
me five talents; here I have made five talents more.
21
His master said to him, Well done, good and faithful
servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you
over much. Enter into the joy of your master. 22And he
also who had the two talents came forward, saying, Master,
you delivered to me two talents; here I have made two
talents more. 23His master said to him, Well done, good
and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I
will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.
24
He also who had received the one talent came forward,
saying, Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping
where you did not sow, and gathering where you
scattered no seed, 25so I was afraid, and I went and hid
your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.
26
But his master answered him, You wicked and slothful
servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and
gather where I scattered no seed?
27
Then you ought to have invested my money with the
bankers, and at my coming I should have received what
was my own with interest. 28So take the talent from him
and give it to him who has the ten talents. 29For to
everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an
abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he
has will be taken away. 30And cast the worthless servant
into the outer darkness. In that place there will be
weeping and gnashing of teeth. - Matthew 25:14-30

Warning Against Idleness
6Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

that you keep away from any brother who is walking in idleness and not
in accord with the tradition that you received from us. 7 For you
yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not idle
when we were with you, 8 nor did we eat anyones bread without paying
for it, but with toil and labor we worked night and day, that we might not
be a burden to any of you. 9 It was not because we do not have that
right, but to give you in ourselves an example to imitate. 10 For even
when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is
not willing to work, let him not eat. 11 For we hear that some among
you walk in idleness, not busy at work, but busybodies. 12 Now such
persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their
work quietly and to earn their own living.
13 As for you, brothers, do not grow weary in doing good. 14 If anyone

does not obey what we say in this letter, take note of that person, and
have nothing to do with him, that he may be ashamed. 15 Do not regard
him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother. - 2 Thessalonians 3:6-15
SCRIPTURES

He dies for lack of discipline,

and because of his great folly he is led astray.
Proverbs 5:23

But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and

especially for members of his household, he has denied
the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
1 Timothy 5:8
SCRIPTURES

23Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and

not for men, 24knowing that from the Lord you will
receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving
the Lord Christ. 25For the wrongdoer will be paid back
for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.
Colossians 3:23-25
SCRIPTURES

29And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are
to drink, nor be worried. 30For all the nations of the
world seek after these things, and your Father knows
that you need them. 31Instead, seek his kingdom, and
these things will be added to you.
32Fear not, little flock, for it is your Fathers good

pleasure to give you the kingdom. 33Sell your

possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves
with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in
the heavens that does not fail, where no thief
approaches and no moth destroys. 34For where your
treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Luke 12:29-34
 PRIORITIES

yourself. On these two commandments depend all the
Law and the Prophets. - Matthew 22:37-40

Nebuchadnezzars Humiliation Daniel 4:28-37
28
All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar. 29 At the end of
twelve months he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of
Babylon, 30 and the king answered and said, Is not this great
Babylon, which I have built by my mighty power as a royal
residence and for the glory of my majesty? 31 While the words
were still in the kings mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, O
King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: The kingdom has
departed from you, 32 and you shall be driven from among men,
and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. And you
shall be made to eat grass like an ox, and seven periods of time
shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules the
kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will. 33Immediately the
word was fulfilled against Nebuchadnezzar. He was driven from
among men and ate grass like an ox, and his body was wet with
the dew of heaven till his hair grew as long as eagles feathers,
and his nails were like birds claws.
Nebuchadnezzar Restored
34 At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to

heaven, and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most

High, and praised and honored him who lives forever,
for his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
and his kingdom endures from generation to generation;
35 all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing,

and he does according to his will among the host of heaven

and among the inhabitants of the earth;
and none can stay his hand
or say to him, What have you done?
36 At the same time my reason returned to me, and for the glory of
my kingdom, my majesty and splendor returned to me. My
counselors and my lords sought me, and I was established in my
kingdom, and still more greatness was added to me. 37 Now I,
Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for
all his works are right and his ways are just; and those who walk in
pride he is able to humble.
 PARTNERSHIP

God Invites Us to PARTNER with Him

and Look After His Stuff as FAITHFUL STEWARDS.

4Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit

by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you,
unless you abide in me. 5I am the vine; you are the
branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that
bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do NOTHING.
- John 14:4-5
 PARTNERSHIP

Working together with him, then, we appeal to you

not to receive the grace of God in vain.
- 2 Corinthians 6:1

14Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what

partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what
fellowship has light with darkness? 15What accord has
Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share
with an unbeliever?
- 2 Corinthians 6:14-15
 PARTNERSHIP

6Iplanted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.

7So neither he who plants nor he who waters is

anything, but only God who gives the growth. 8He who
plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his
wages according to his labor. 9For we are Gods fellow
workers. You are Gods field, Gods building.
10According to the grace of God given to me, like a

skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone

else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he
builds upon it.
1 Corinthians 3:6-10
 PARTNERSHIP

11For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is

laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12Now if anyone builds on the
foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay,
straw 13each ones work will become manifest, for the
Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and
the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 14If
the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives,
he will receive a reward. 15If anyones work is burned up,
he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only
as through fire.
1 Corinthians 3:11-15
INNOVATION / CREATIVITY

God Made Us in His IMAGE!

God is CREATIVE

26Then God said, Let us make man in our IMAGE,

after our LIKENESS. And let them have dominion over
the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens
and over the livestock and over all the earth and over
every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. 27So
God created man in HIS OWN IMAGE, in the image of
God he created him; male and female he created them.
- Genesis 1:26-27
 PLANNING

Failing to PLAN = Planning to FAIL

The PLANS of the DILIGENT lead surely to abundance,

but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.
- Proverbs 21:5

Commit your work to the Lord,

and your plans will be ESTABLISHED.
- Proverbs 16:3
PLANNING

28For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does

not first sit down and COUNT THE COST, whether
he has enough to COMPLETE it? 29Otherwise,
when he has laid a foundation and is not able to
finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30saying,
This man began to build and was not able to
finish.
- Luke 14:28-30
PLANNING

13Come now, you who say, Today or tomorrow we

will go into such and such a town and spend a year
there and trade and make a profit 14yet you do
not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life?
For you are a mist that appears for a little time and
then vanishes. 15Instead you ought to say, If the
Lord wills, we will live and do this or that. 16As it
is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is
evil. 17So whoever knows the right thing to do
and fails to do it, for him it is sin.
- James 4:13-17

OPPORTUNITIES & RISK

Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders;

make the most of every OPPORTUNITY.
- Colossians 4:5

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as

wise, making THE BEST USE OF THE TIME, because
the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but
understand what the WILL OF THE LORD IS.
- Ephesians 5:15-17
Cast your bread upon the waters,
for you will find it after many days.
2 Give a portion to seven, or even to eight,

for you know not what disaster may happen on earth.

3 If the clouds are full of rain,

they empty themselves on the earth,

and if a tree falls to the south or to the north,
in the place where the tree falls, there it will lie.
4 He who observes the wind will not sow,

and he who regards the clouds will not reap.

5 As you do not know the way the spirit comes to the bones
in the womb of a woman with child, so you do not know the
work of God who makes everything.
6 In the morning sow your seed, and at evening withhold not

your hand, for you do not know which will prosper, this or
that, or whether both alike will be good. - Ecclesiastes 11:1-6
 SALES & MARKETING

Sales is:
Persuading someone to TAKE ADVANTAGE
of an idea, concept, product or service
that is in their BEST INTEREST!

Sales is VITAL to everyday life!

~ A happy Businessman needs a sale

~ The unsaved need to be sold on the gospel
~ An interview becomes a job offer on the basis of a sale
~ A single person becomes married because he/she is sold
 SALES & MARKETING

A true sales person is a SERVANT first!

1. Sales is the transfer of ENTHUSIASM

En-theos = God inside

2. BE SOLD yourself - IASM = I Am Sold Myself

Paul (2 Cor 4:13-14)

3. Sell YOURSELF - If they are not sold on you, they wont

buy your product! RELATIONSHIPS!

4. Sell your SERVICE (NOT JUST A PRODUCT!)

 SALES & MARKETING

SERVICE is the best form of Marketing!

NDEIPI?s 4 Ps of Marketing - Based on Jesus Model

1. PREPARATION - Test the product / service and message

2. PROCLAMATION - Get the message out, make the

product / service available

3. PRESENTATION - Call to Action

4. PROMISE - Deliver on the promise

 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having
been predestined according to the purpose of
him who works all things according to the counsel
of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in
Christ might be to the praise of his glory. In him
you also, when you heard the word of truth, the
gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were
sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the
guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire
possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
- Ephesians 1:11-14
PRAISE (GLORY TO GOD)

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do,

do all to the GLORY OF GOD. - 1 Corinthians 10:31

In the same way, let your light shine before others,

so that they may see your good works and
give GLORY to your FATHER who is in heaven.
- Matthew 5:16
PURPOSE

For EVERYTHING, absolutely EVERYTHING, above and

below, visible and invisible,EVERYTHING got
started in him and finds its PURPOSE in him.
- Colossians 1:16 [MSG]

29 But
Peter and the apostles answered,
We must obey God rather than men.
- Colossians 1:16

The Lord will fulfill HIS PURPOSE for me;

your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.
Do not forsake the work of your hands.
- Psalm 138:8
PURPOSE

Many are the plans in the mind of a man,

but it is the PURPOSE of the Lord that will stand.
- Proverbs 19:21
PRODUCTIVITY

10 Aseach has received a gift, use it to serve one

another, as good stewards of Gods varied grace:
11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God;

whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that

God suppliesin order that in everything God may
be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong
glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

1 Peter 4:10-11
 PROFIT

24 There is nothing better for a person than that he should

eat and drink and find enjoyment in his toil. This also, I saw,
is from the hand of God, 25 for apart from him who can eat
or who can have enjoyment? 26 For to the one who pleases
him God has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the
sinner he has given the business of gathering and collecting,
only to give to one who pleases God. This also is vanity and a
striving after wind. - Ecclesiastes 2:24-26

He who loves money will not be satisfied with money,

nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity.
- Ecclesiastes 5:10
 PROFIT

9 What gain has the worker from his toil? 10 I have seen the
business that God has given to the children of man to be busy
with. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he
has put eternity into mans heart, yet so that he cannot find out
what God has done from the beginning to the end. 12 I
perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be
joyful and to do good as long as they live; 13 also that everyone
should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toilthis is
Gods gift to man. - Ecclesiastes 3:9-13
 PROFIT

15 And he said to them, Take care, and be on your guard

against all covetousness, for ones life does not consist in
the abundance of his possessions.
16 And he told them a parable, saying, The land of a rich man

produced plentifully, 17 and he thought to himself, What shall I

do, for I have nowhere to store my crops? 18 And he said, I will
do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and
there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19 And I will say to
my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years;
relax, eat, drink, be merry. 20 But God said to him, Fool! This
night your soul is required of you, and the things you have
prepared, whose will they be? 21 So is the one who lays up
treasure for himself and is not rich toward God. - Luke 12:15-21
