Christian stewardship is a way of living in which we recognize that everything belongs to God INCLUDING OURSELVES.
As I went for the gospel out reach this morning had chance to spend time with an elder of a nearby assembly. We were chatting on each others church activities.
HE said 'The greatest problem with present day believers is... They forget they are STEWARDS of GOD! When a Christian considers his job, time, energy & material wealth everything belongs to GOD himself & He is just a stewardship appointed by HIM, he will never miss any church gathering. He cares all these more than God caring for them!'
In ancient kingdoms, stewards ran the country in the absence of the king. Upon the king's return, the steward gave a full accounting for his actions. Even when the king was present, the steward often handled the daily affairs of the kingdom. However, a steward did not own the kingdom. And, the king determined when and how long a steward would serve him. We see such stewards in the bible too... we find the story of Joseph and how Pharaoh made him steward over the land of Egypt. Remem, Joseph was not part of the royal family.
I DON'T WANNA 'PREACH' MUCH... let me point you a scripture portion, kindly read it... LET THE SPIRIT OF GOD, CONVICT & REMIND US that we belong to HIM & may we spend our life for Him coz we are HIS bought by the price of HIS blood... HE (lord of Glory) gave his life on the cross of Calvary! Read LUKE 12: 42 – 45 … & LUKE 19:11
If you could spend 1 more min... Pls read the below story... a true example of how you ll is when you are fully known what stewardship is... :)
A young man was driving home from work and saw an older, poor man on the side of the road. He offered the poor man his lunch, and also offered to take him several miles to a truck stop where he could get a ride. While driving him to the truck stop, the young man suggested that it was getting close to dinnertime, and invited the older traveler home for dinner. During the meal, the younger man and his family enjoyed conversation with the older man, and learned that he was an itinerant farmer on his way west to help with a walnut harvest. As it was getting late, the couple suggested that the traveler should stay for the night. They gave up their room, complete with attached bath, for the night. When the traveler protested, the couple pointed out that the young children would awaken during the night, and it would be better if the couple slept on the couch so the older man would not be disturbed. After dinner, the wife washed the man's clothes while he enjoyed sitting on the porch with a cool drink. Early the next morning, the wife prepared a hearty breakfast and packaged a good portion of food for him, and her husband drove him to the truck stop to help him find a ride. Before parting, the young man offered the poor man all the money in his wallet, which was less than $20.00. The traveler refused the money with the words, "You have given me more than anyone has ever given me in this life. You have given me my dignity as a human being."
