One day, a fine gentleman 👨🏽was walking down the street 🚶🏽on his way to the prestigious bank 💰where he worked as one of the managers. He was known in town as a good moral Christian with a strong sense of righteous living. 😇

This devout Christian man began his day in the office with a morning devotion.🙏🏽 He was also known to be a man with strong family values who took his children👩‍👩‍👧‍👦 to the local swimming club🏊🏽 every week as he himself was a very good swimmer.

One day, on his way to work, he spotted a child shouting for help in the river 🏖 which ran through his city. The person in the river was shouting, splashing and causing a big commotion as she tried to get the attention of passers-by. A little crowd of onlookers had gathered on the shore hoping that someone who could swim would save the little girl. 👧🏽

The fine gentleman was, however, on his way to work and needed to be on time ⏱ for his board meeting. He decided to ignore the screams for help and passed by. He arrived at his office on time to have the morning devotion with his staff.

Later that day, the body of the person who had screamed for help from the river was washed ashore and taken to the mortuary. This nice Christian gentleman 👨🏽 carried on with his life and became more and more acclaimed as a perfect example of good Christian character. 👼🏽

You could describe this man as "wicked" because he did not help to save the little child even though he could have. But why do you call him wicked? Did he hurt anyone? The answer is "no!"  Did he kill anyone? "no!" Did he harm someone? "no!" Then why do you call him a wicked man? *BECAUSE HE DID NOTHING!* 😕☹

You see, dear friend, doing nothing can be wickedness! That is why Jesus called the man who did nothing with his talent a "wicked and unprofitable" servant. 😑The words "wicked servant" have a profound meaning, deeper than we may care to meditate on. If you do *nothing* with the talent God has given you, it may cause many people to go to hell. And that is wickedness! Avoid being called a wicked servant by using your talents, your gifts 🎁🎀 and your calling. // Bishop Dag Heward-Mills
