DAILY COGNISANCE:
From small Beginnings to Divine Increase – Matthew 25:21
“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things.’”
Drama Message: Setting: A marketplace where a young vendor, Joel, struggles to sell his handmade crafts while watching wealthy merchants thrive.
Characters:
- Joel – A humble craftsman with little success.
- Elder Miriam – A wise older woman who encourages him.
- Wealthy Merchant – A successful but arrogant businessman.
[Scene opens with Joel sitting at his small stall, looking discouraged.]
Wealthy Merchant: (laughing) “Joel, you’ll never make money with these little trinkets. Real wealth comes from big deals!”
Joel: (sighs) “Maybe you’re right. I don’t have much to offer.”
Elder Miriam: (approaching) “Joel, don’t despise small beginnings. Remember the parable of the talents?”
Joel: “I’ve heard it, but how does it apply to me?”
Elder Miriam: “God rewards faithfulness, not just size. What if you improved your craft, prayed for wisdom, and trusted Him for increase?”
Joel: “But how?”
Elder Miriam: “Start where you are. Use what you have. God will open doors you never imagined!”
[Joel decides to refine his work, pray for guidance, and network with other vendors.]
[Months later, Joel’s craftsmanship gains attention. A royal official commissions him for a special project.]
Royal Official: “Your work is excellent! We need someone like you for the king’s palace!”
Wealthy Merchant: (shocked) “How did this happen?”
Elder Miriam: (smiling) “Faithfulness + God’s favor = divine increase!”
[Scene ends with Joel thanking God, realizing that true wealth comes from stewardship.]
[Screen fades to black with text: “Little becomes much when God is in it!”]
[Voiceover:]
“Don’t underestimate what God can do with your small beginnings. Stay faithful, and watch Him multiply your talents!”
