"My
only sin an enormous one is that my conscience does not accuse me of
anything" Pope Pius XIII. When humans come to this stage in their life,
they have been emboldened by talent, money and power. That's the triune
elements that entice a man to sin. With talent and no money, a man will be
rendered powerless. But with just money and power he/she may make a mark in
this world. But with neither talent nor money you just cannot gain power. You
definitely need the other two.
Your talent can help you earn money based on you being at the right place at the right time and meeting the right people. It immediately pays you dividends for your skill through money. Once, your talent spreads you become famous and get powerful connections and positions. Eventually, you become one of the powerful persons in your circle of influence.
However, the danger of this trinitarian effect is that it makes you delusional that you have become immune to God's wrath. The Bible says, "..... Lust for money brings trouble and nothing but trouble.". Money brings so much power with it that it starts deadening your conscience and you starts sinning with no hesitation. It's like a tooth decay that festers within but looks perfect outside. Until all three are in constant supply - talent, money and power - sin abounds. But be assured sin will always reveal itself, whether you are alive or dead. There is no escaping.
We all fail to recognise that we have been created by a Holy God who made us in His image and bestowed us with whatever talents we have. Somehow, money and power make fools out of us that we play god in our life. The Bible so beautifully puts, "O God, you know how foolish I am; my sins cannot be hidden from you.".
My friends! I implore upon you that if God has lavished these three facets- talent, money and power, use them wisely and with utmost caution for the glory of your creator and for the good of humanity. When you use them with humility and integrity, you will leave a legacy for your generations or you will leave a trail of shame and regret that will haunt them.
The savior of the world has a power to forgive and cleanse you from all your unrighteous deeds and make you clean, and most importantly enable you to start afresh. Would you consider this God to bless you with a new transformed life?
