Serve one another (1 Peter 4:10)
Steward: Steward
First, the meaning of stewardship
He/Ish (Gen. 43:16): one in charge of household affairs
Hel/Oikonomos (Matt 12:42, Mt 24:45, 1 Corinthians 4:1):
Oikos (house) Square (manage, organize)
: A person who takes charge of the owner's property.
God, the Lord of all things, has given us
A person who manages and uses the things entrusted to him according to God's will
Second, for stewardship:
1. Stewardship of material/
The material things you enjoy in this world are gifts from God.
(Genesis 1:1, Deuteronomy 8:13, Psalm 24:1 Psalm 50:10-11, Psalm 95:5.......)
Daily bread (eat, drink and wear…), gold and treasure, wealth, money (Haggai 2:8)…
Psalm 39:6 Verily, every man walks like a shadow, and dwelleth upon vanity,
They accumulate wealth, but do not know who will take them.
Material is a precious thing that God is indispensable to human life.
Those who have much of this material give it to those who do not have it (almsgiving, service/1 Timothy 6:17-19).
It should be used for good work, the kingdom of God and the spread of the gospel.
(Luke 16/The parable of the rich fool and the beggar Lazarus}
(Matthew 12:16-21/God is the owner of life and matter)
2. The steward of time and life/
Life is from birth in this world in time and space
are living
Jacob said, “The length of the life of a stranger is 130 years” (Genesis 47:9).
The psalmist said, “Even if life is 70 and 80, the pride of those years is
It's just toil and sorrow. If you go quickly, you fly away."
The Apostle Peter said, “I urge you as strangers and passersby” (1 Peter 1:17).
“All flesh is like grass, and all its glory is like flowers (1 Peter 1:24).
In the book of James
What is your life? A mist that appears for a moment and then vanishes (James 4:13-17).
Ephesians 5:15-17 says, “Be like the wise, saving time” (Eph 5:15-17).
are speaking
You have given us in a finite and fast time
It is said to use time and time wisely.
3. Stewardship of talents and gifts/
As each has received a gift, he has been entrusted with the various graces of God.
Serve one another as good stewards... (1 Corinthians 4:7)
According to Matthew 25:14-30, the master entrusted his servants with 5 and 2.1 talents, respectively.
After visiting, make a settlement of accounts to determine whether or not you have left any talents.
example ///
An old man who lived in Switzerland in his 80s calculated his life in terms of hours.
The following results should have been obtained:
26 years - sleeping, 21 years of work, 6 years of eating, 5 years of waiting for others to keep their promises,
5 years - anxiously wasting alone, 228 days - washing face and haircut, 26 days - playing with children,
18th - tie a tie, 80th - blow nose, 12th - light a cigarette,
The happiest time - 46 hours....
Conclusion:
We are God's stewards.
Material, time, life, talent, gift...
Dear saints and co-workers!!!!!!
Let's be faithful good stewards by examining the will of the Lord!!!!!
