A Good Steward.

                                                                       A Good Steward.


Utilizes God’s Gifts to “Love”.


As each has received “a gift”, use it to “serve one another”, as “Good Stewards” of “Varied Grace”.  (1 Peter 4:10)


It is to “Utilize the Gifts Given by God” to Love, not to “Make More Money”.


Our Daily Nugget

is giving us the job of a Good Steward.  A Good Steward’s job is to use the Gifts God has given us to Serve One Another, “Not to Get Rich”.  The amount of money we make has nothing to do with rather we are good stewards of God’s Gifts or not.


Steward - A manager or overseer entrusted with managing the property, household, or affairs of another.  It signifies that God is the rightful owner of “All Things”, while we are responsible for managing His Creation, time, talents, and resources faithfully.  Note - It is Not To Just Make More Money!


Beware of the Love of Money!  


Are We Looking at Money Wrongly?  The Love of Money is the root of “All Evil”.  Naked we came into this world and naked we are going out of this world.  We cannot Love money and Love people.  In the United States, we have confused being a Good Steward as “The One Who Makes The Most Money”.  This is “Monetizing Christianity”.  It has been said that in the United Staes we Monetize Everything, even our children.


Two People Who God Used Mightily.


John the Baptist - Among the poorest men who has ever lived; God called him “The Best Man” to have ever lived.  He lived on the land, had no house, no savings; he ate wild honey and grass hoppers.  He was a Great Steward; he effectively “Utilized the Gifts God gave to him”.  He did not love the world.


Solomon - God made him the richest man to have ever lived.  God said to Solomon; ask Me for anything you want and I Will Give It To You.  Solomon did not ask for Money; he asked for “Wisdom To Lead His People”.  It truly pleased God that he was not selfish, only looking for what he could get, but for what he could give.  God gave him more money than everybody; it is better “To Give”.


A Good Steward Obeys the command to 

“Love the Lord” and “To Love their Neighbor”, as they “Love Themselves”!


Are You A Good Steward?

The Heart/Mind.

                                                                        The Heart/Mind. The Heart/Mind of Christ or the Heart/Mind of Satan?   Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be “likeminded”, “Having the Same Love”, “being of one accord, of one mind”.   “Let nothing be done” through “strife or vainglory”; but in “lowliness of mind (heart) let each esteem other better than themselves”.   Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.   “Let This Mind (Heart) Be In You”, “which was also in Christ Jesus”.   (Philippians 2:2-5) The Heart/Mind of Christ is “A Priceless Blessing”; Available to Us. Our Daily Nugget is Paul letting the Church at Philippi and us know that Kingdom Citizens should be “Of One Mind (Heart/Thinking)”.   Since we have One Lord, One ...

What?

                                                                                 What? “What we Think”, “Guides What we Do”. “Above All”, be Careful “What” You Think because your “Thoughts” control your life.   (Proverbs 4:23) We Can Think, “Anything” we want to Think. “What” We Think “Determines the Parameters of Our Life”. Our Daily Nugget is Solomon, telling us that Through Careful “Thinking”, we can have “The Life We Choose”.   We are God’s Children, our Father has All Power, who can Do All Things.   Through His Only Begotten Son, Jesus, we can do all things through Him.   We can Think Carefully about things that leads to life and things that leads to death.   We, as God’s Children, has been given Great Ability to Control the Spirit World through our “Think...

Real Strength!

                                                                           Real Strength!   “Real Strength” is Humility - “Real Weakness” is Pride.. In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders.   All of you, clothe yourselves with “humility” toward one another, because   “God Opposes the proud” but Shows “Favor” to the Humble”.   “Humble yourselves”, therefore under God’s Mighty Hand, that He may lift you up in due time.   Cast all your anxiety on Hum “Because He Cares For You”. (1 Peter5:5&6) The Humbled Heart/Mind has God Fighting For Them;   “That’s Real Strength”, “That’s God’s Favor”! Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that “We All Need To Clothe Ourselves in Humility”, because; God opposes the Proud, and that God “Shows Favor to the ...
