WHO IS A TRUE STEWARD?

Dear brethren,

Biblical steward is one involved in any work in the household of God. Serving God in all kingdom sense of it. Ensuring that through your service, the kingdom of God is being populated daily, by evangelising and winning souls into the kingdom of God. By praying for the poor and needy... praying for your fellow stewards in the household of faith... and living out a Christ-like attitude and so on.

Having defined a steward, who then is a true steward? A true steward is one who is faithful to God's calling in his/her life. To be faithful means to be so devoted and or, dedicated to kingdom activities zealously. Keeping to your word, promises and vows. Being consistent in your allegiance to God and the things of His kingdom.

Secondly, a true steward serves in righteousness or holiness. If you are serving God carnally, with various burden of sins you have committed hanging on you and with you not being sincere in reconciling with Him through Christ! Just forget it, that service of yours is rather abhorrent to God. Our God is a righteous God and those who serve and worship Him must do that in truth and in Spirit. You cannot manoeuvre this truth, God cannot be mocked, neither is He a respecter of persons, for whatever a person sows that he shall reap, Galatians 6:7. Moreover, God does not delight in unholy sacrifices rather He accepts from us only what is right and just, Proverbs 21:3 (NIV). 

Prayer: Father in the name of Jesus, help me to be a true steward who will serve you faithfully and righteously, Amen.

Remain blessed,

Your beloved,

Ifeoma

THE BIBLE AS A MANUAL...

Dear Brethren,

Whenever one buys any product, the manufacturer's manual is always included in the package delivered to the buyer. Have you ever wondered why it is so? The answer is right here; it is because it guides the purchaser as to how to use the said product to its maximum benefit. Your intelligence cannot surpass this one. Yes, you may know how to operate the product somehow but until you read the manual in between the lines  and understand how best it functions, the product cannot be put to its maximum use.

The same principle is also applied to the Scriptures. The Holy Bible is God's instructions for man's daily living. If you do not know what His word says concerning your situation, the devil will always have a free day in your life. The Holy Bible is now in both hard copies as well as in soft copies, you can easily download a copy and read for you to get information on what you have been instructed to do daily as a child of God.

Our God is a merciful God who had given us all what we need to maximise our lives here on earth, that is the reason, He says that He has set before you life and death, blessings and curses but you have been advised to choose life, so that you and your children may live, Deuteronomy 30:19.

Remain blessed,

Your beloved sister,

Ifeoma
