REWARDS OF FAITHFUL STEWARDSHIP 1

9^TH , JULY 2022

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  2 Kings 19:14-37, 2 Kings 20, Acts 28:1-16, Psalm 83:1-18

FIRE SCRIPTURE:   Matthew 24:42-51

42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what [a]hour your Lord is coming. 

43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known what [b]hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 

44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

45 “Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food [c]in due season? 

46 Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. 

47 Assuredly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods. 

48 But if that evil servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying [d]his coming,’ 

49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, 

50 the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of, 

51 and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:

𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐄𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄 𝐀 𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐃 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐓𝐇𝐅𝐔𝐋 𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐃, 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐉𝐄𝐒𝐔𝐒.

 

 

THE MESSAGE:

In the Kingdom of God, stewardship is demanded and rewarded when it is faithful and pleasing to God. Stewardship entails planning, management and administration. It is the act of being a manager or a caretaker. God created all things (Psalm 24:1; Psalm 50:11-12 and Haggai 2:8). He owns us and has chosen us as the stewards of His vast resources. Our role is to carry out His wishes on His property that He has entrusted to our care. Are you a parent or guardian? You are a steward. Your children and wards are God's and not yours. Are you a business owner? The business belongs to God and you are His steward. Are you an employee? You are a steward and will account for your stewardship. Your finances, houses, cars, talents and time all belong to God and you will give account to Him for what you did with each of His resources committed to your hands.

 

There is no way anyone can succeed in stewardship without God's direction and help. So, if you desire to succeed as a steward, there is an important question you must be able to answer. Father Lord, what do You want me to do with what you have entrusted in my care? It means that you need to get directions from God, the Owner of all, regarding what He wants you to do with all He has entrusted to you.

 

How do you get the directions? First, you must be born again. That is, confess and forsake your sins. You must accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour. The new relationship with the Lord is what will qualify you to be His steward. Second, you must regularly review the directions from the Stewards' Training Manual -- the Holy Bible. You must read the Bible on a daily basis. Study the word deeply and meditate on it regularly (2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 17:11). You should also memorise God's word. When internalised, God's word will prevent you from being a disobedient steward (Psalm 119:11). Third, you must befriend the Holy Spirit and follow His leading. Finally, you must be a prayer addict.

 

Beloved, I pray that God will give you the grace to be a good and faithful steward. The rewards are inestimable.
