"GOOD STEWARD"
SCRIPTURE
COLOSSIANS 1:24-26
THE GOSPEL
24. Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church, 25. of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, 26. the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints.
TITUS 2:7-8
7. Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, 8. and sound speech that cannot be condemned, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us.
1 CORINTHIANS 4:1-2
1.This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2. Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.
YAHWEH'S PEOPLE
2 CORINTHIANS 12:19
19 Have you been thinking all along that we have been defending ourselves to you? It is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ, and all for your upbuilding, beloved.
HEBREWS
17. Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.
WISDOM
The Hebrew word for steward is "kal'kal", meaning a servant who manages another's property. Most of the time when people speak of being a "Good Steward" they only speak of finances, but today we are speaking of The Gospel and God's people. We are God's stewards entrusted with different gifts and callings for the uplifting of His kingdom. We have been blessed with a voice and revelations of His word so that we are able to tell someone else who he is and show them the way to Christ. Are we living up to our calling? Are we doing what we are purposed to do? Are we living so they may see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven? So, we need to use our gifts and callings for the purpose they were given according to the Word of Yahweh. Father, help us to see You and hear You and follow Your instructions.
