UNPROFITABLE INVESTMENT

December 18, 2013

For every investor, the ultimate goal is to make profit. Years back, I made an investment error that cost me some fortunes and earned me great pain. It was totally an unprofitable investment. I never looked at that kind of opportunity twice again no matter the lucrativeness.

In Matt 25, a master was going away to a far country and gave out money to his servants to go trade with and bring back some profits. Connotatively, he gave one $5000, another $2000 and the third one $1000 dollars.  Bible says when he got back and demanded that they all give account, the one that got $5000 had made extra $5000. That’s 100% return on investment (ROI) – very profitable.

The one that got $2000 made $2000 profit. That’s also 100% ROI. The one that got $1000 came back and said Sir, I know that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: And I was afraid, and went and hid thy money in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. The master got very furious and said, “You should have even put it in the bank or with money changers and there would have been some profit on my investment.”

Friends, you are God’s investment. The question is how profitable to God are you? Your profitability is a product of your impact in the kingdom of God. What are you doing with what you have; your mouth; hand; leg; talent; time; resources? Can God boldly say to you, “Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.”

Remember that God invested His only begotten Son so He can get the entire universe as a return on His investment. How many people have you led to Christ this year? I shall not be an unprofitable investment for God in Jesus Name.
