Parable of the Talents - The American God...

14 "For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants[a] and entrusted to them his property.
15 To one he gave five talents,[b] 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.
17 So 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 master's money.
19 Now 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.[c] You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.'
22 And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, 'Master, you delivered to me two talents; here, I have made two talents more.'
23 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.'
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,
25 so 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.
28 So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents.
29 For 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.
30 And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
As a global society, we are categorised as First world, Second world, Third world. Similar to the parable, we have each been given talents as groups of people around the world.
Servant1:
When a white westerner gets a loan, he'll invest that money like his life depended on a positive outcome. He'll make it work, even go to Africa, Asia, South America, Middle East, to Space, just to look for the treasure that will grow his resources and payback the debt incurred. The only time the world will see any sign of wealth will be after the project has yielded results and debts have been paid off.
Servant 2:
When an asian gets a loan, he'll invest the money and chances are that he'll try to replicate a western product that he can sale to the world. Other times, he'll set up a retail or wholesale outlet so that h can cater to everyone's needs, whether groceries, building materials, or tooth picks; if it sales, an asian will make it and sell it. He'll live a simple un assuming life, away from prying eyes, only time the world sees his wealth when his children splurge from time to time.
Servant3:
When a black man gets a loan, he'll think of every luxury that he had put on hold. And think all the people he needs to impress so that the community recognizes his opulence. If he gets to investing, he'll find a piece of land to grow something that Servant 1 and 2 would be interested in buying. The investment can't be more than 4 months, the returns have to be exorbitant and minimal risk. The black invested considers a luxury vehicle as an investment simply because they are likely surrounded by people with similar shallow minds who offer to get loans to buy the 3rd hand vehicle if ever there their fellow dumb ass fails to make payments on the depreciated liability. We will know that the money is in the bank because the lifestyle will change dramatically to keep up with the big guys, but as easily we will notice the money finish as they sell of their liabilities and move to cheaper rented accomodation. Typically they'll work well into old age with no savings or tangible assets to rely on, only university papers to hopefully appeal to the children of servant 1 and 2 for a job.
According to the parable told by Jesus, the master will return and request an audience with everyone. Africa is the most endowed continent, with every natural resource that is sought after around thee world, but thee type of education received did not open our eyes to potential for greatness; it trained us to work had for servant 1 and 2, for trivial compensation's like luxury vehicles, designers clothes and fancy outings while they build their utopia.
So according to Jesus parable, who is being rewarded by gaining more and who has been tossed into the darkness (dark continent) due to their laziness?
Some people think that no natural disaster happens in Africa because God lives in Africa, that's a lie. In Jobs story, satan attacked Job because he was a man of God who was prosperous, it makes sense that satan would attack a more prosperous community than one wallowing in poverty. As God eventually tells Lucifer to stop attacking Job, it is why the America is saved from disaster, and Gods people rally togther to help each other out; maybe Lucifer lives in Africa, that's why we need so much prayer.
If this provokes you negatively then I invite you to prove me wrong, cut off ties to the luxurious life and embrace hard work. Stand up and own your place in this world.
Africa Needs a Revolution, in mindset!
