Keep Being Unstoppable

Matthew 25:14-30 Amplified Bible (AMP)

Parable of the Talents

¹⁴ “For it is just like a man who was about to take a journey, and he called his servants together and entrusted them with his possessions. ¹⁵ To one he gave five ^[a]talents, to another, two, and to another, one, each according to his own ability; and then he went on his journey. ¹⁶ The one who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he [made a profit and] gained five more. ¹⁷ Likewise the one who had two [made a profit and] gained two more. ¹⁸ But the one who had received the one went and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.

¹⁹ “Now after a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. ²⁰ And the one who had received the five talents came and brought him five more, saying, ‘Master, you entrusted to me five talents. See, I have [made a profit and] gained five more talents.’ ²¹ His master said to him, ‘Well don...

Did you know that having no productivity or to be stagnate at
a certain growth level is actually unscriptural?

Think of the story of the master who gave his servants various
talents. One was given five, another two and to the third
servant, one talent. Time passed by and the master returned
for an accounting of what his servants had done with what he
had given them.

He commended the two who were productive and multiplied
the resources he had given them. To the servant who buried
the talent and didn’t bother to increase his master’s
entrusted monies came a swift and immediate response of
condemnation. Matthew 25 and Luke 19.

God has given each of us many talents, abilities and skills to
use for advancing His kingdom. He expects us to take what He
has entrusted to us and apply ourselves to increase our skills
for a greater harvest.

We are not given the same number or kinds of talent so it is
foolish to compare ourselv

“Other seeds fell among the thorns (weeds), so when the
seeds sprouted so did the thorns, crowding out the young
plants so that they could produce no grain.” Mark 4:7

“And the seed sown among thorns represents those who hear
the Word, but they allow the cares of this life and the
seduction of wealth and the desires for other things to crowd
out and choke the Word so that it produces nothing.” Mark
4:17-18

Once again, like the rocky soil, we see good intentions. The
desire to do the will of God, to apply His Word to our lives, to
fulfill His will for us is at the forefront. Let’s do this!

Oh, the initial joy! As we begin to make progress, other
situations begin to show up: Weeds and thorns.

My family has bought and sold several homes over the years.
It never seems to fail that weeds appear out of nowhere in
the front, back and side yards. We work to pull them out and
lo and behold, they just grow back.

Be Unstoppable

Many people get all excited upon hearing a good message or
when God speaks to them.

“Other seeds fell onto gravel with no topsoil and the seeds
quickly sprouted since the soil had no depth. But when the
days grew hot, the sprouts were scorched and withered
because they had insufficient roots.” Mark 4:5

Another translation says, “who, when they have heard the
Word, immediately receive it with gladness and have no root
in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward when
affliction or persecution arises for the word’s sake,
immediately they are offended.” (KJV)

Many people get all excited upon hearing a good message or
when God speaks to them. WOW! This is fantastic. They
eagerly set out to act on what they heard.

In the process of applying corresponding actions to bring the
desired outcome to pass, life happens. Other wounds,
encountered in the past, long ago buried are revealed. New
wounds are made.

Decision to Change

Page 3 of Unstoppable...

... "Making a decision is like having a plumb line. That decision
becomes the measuring tool for all the other choices we’ll
make going forward.

If we do what we have always done, we end up with what
we’ve always had. Change is usually uncomfortable. Change
is required to level up.

It starts in our soul, made up of our will where we make
decisions, our mind where we process and reason, and our
emotions where we experience our feelings.

• New decisions will always encounter resistance.
• New decisions will always be tested to stay the course.
• New decisions will always experience nay-sayers.

Our physical muscles grow in strength and ability in the same
ways. For example, as we apply resistance by lifting weights
the muscle groans for you to stop, ease up, take it slower.
If we stop, we will lose muscle mass and become weaker. 

So, we choose to keep aligning to our plumb line decision to
work out to build stronger muscles for a healthier

Be Unstoppable

Unlock your fullest potential

"It’s easy to say, “Be unstoppable.”
You don’t know until you face the giants in the land.
Do you see obstacles as insurmountable giants or as
grasshoppers? Numbers 13:33
Life has only two paths: Stoppable and Unstoppable.
Which will you choose?
This book is written for believers:
• to see giants as grasshoppers.
• to find courage to forge ahead.
• at the crossroads of life looking for GPS coordinates to
be unstoppable.

Did you know only three things can defeat you?
This book looks them right in the face and says, “Get behind
me, satan! You are an offense to Me, because your thoughts
are only filled with man’s viewpoints and not with the ways of
God.” Matthew 16:23

In my lifetime, I’ve had many amazing victorious miracles and
breakthroughs. I’ve also encountered many of the trials and
tribulations written in the first paragraph of this chapter.
I’m sure you could say the same about your life. No one is
exempt from the ups and downs here on earth.
