Financial Stewardship

The responsible overseeing and protecting of something special.
Everything under earth belongs to God. Whatever God gives us is special to him,
“The earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein.”
Psalms 24:1 NKJV
“Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,”
II Peter 1:2 NKJV
Nowadays a lot of people want instant gratification and all things immediately!
If you do not manage your time, you feel you may struggle in other areas of your life.
What are you doing with your day that God wants you do.
We use money we do not have to buy things that we do not need to impress people that do not like us!
The borrower is slaves to the lender!
Each one of us has a responsibility! If God can not get it to us, he can get it through us.
“For I have known him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice, that the LORD may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him.””
Genesis 18:19 NKJV
Does God know that if he entrust something into our care will we look after it.
“Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. [Deut. 28:4.] As arrows are in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth. Happy, blessed, and fortunate is the man whose quiver is filled with them! They will not be put to shame when they speak with their adversaries [in gatherings] at the [city’s] gate.”
Psalm 127:3-5 AMPC
We should not be working for money, but make our money work for us.
Is God in the equation of your life?
If you have not been a good steward, neglecting whatever it is, God is merciful.
We need to realise we are custodians of the things concerning us.
You need to be accountable to someone to keep you in the right path.
You earn what you earn to be a blessing to God.
Whoever lends to the poor gives to God. Let’s partner with God for whatever is going on in our lives.
We need to look at tithing our time to God.
Start by managing what God is giving you today, for there is so much more God wants to give you.
Every pound you earn has to have a name I.e savings, investing etc.
God is a master planner… Putting together all things before we were even here.
So we also need to plan… It’s never too late.
Whatever it is God has given to us, it’s not for us to squander!
God wants us to live well, but not at the expense of our salvation.
It’s good to be wealthy but the word says seek first the Kingdom of God.
