We therefore ought to be aware of the fact that God has a foreknowledge of who we are and has endowed each one of us accordingly. Whatever gift(s) we have should be seen as a trust, to be used purposefully, responsibly, and also promptly. We will eventually be called to account. Worthy stewards will be honoured. Time and resource wasters will be dishonoured....
