STEWARDS OF GOD’S RESOURCES 13



“Both riches and honor come from You, And You reign over all. In Your hand is power and might; In Your hand it is to make great And to give strength to all. “Now therefore, our God, We thank You And praise Your glorious name. But who am I, and who are my people, That we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from You, And of Your own we have given You.” 

2 Chronicles 29:12‐14 (NKJV)



The matter of stewardship is a crucial matter of our walk with God.

Your commitment to God, loyalty to His purpose and integrity of heart are demonstrated through your stewardship.

As I have mentioned in previous posts:

Your stewardship begins by first acknowledging that God is the creator of all things; thus, He is the source of all things.

Anyone who made a great Kingdom impact (all through the scriptures) walked in this consciousness.

Until you acknowledge God as the Creator and the source of all resources, you cannot serve Him with the resources available to you. God, the source of all things, determines the true meaning of things. Therefore whatever finds meaning must be submitted and be useful to God.

We have also addressed that, every steward will make account of how he used God’s resources to serve God’s Kingdom mandate.

As faithful stewards, we serve the Lord with all of our being, our time and our abilities.
You must recognize that these things are valuable resources and must be committed to God.

Your time and abilities are not the only resources committed to us by God. The expansion of God’s Kingdom also requires proper use of silver and gold (precisely money).

The stewardship of money has been the major emphasis of our stewardship in the Church.

We shouldn’t think the stewardship of money is an exaggeration. This is because money has become one of the mediums by which people appreciate the value of things.

Your stewardship of money also begins from first recognizing God as the source of every money you have.

When you recognize God as the source of your wealth or the money that comes to your hand you will honor and serve Him with it.

Our stewardship of money or finances is not only demonstrated in how we generously give towards God’s Kingdom mission. It is also seen or demonstrated in how we manage or make prudent decisions about money, the wise investments we make and the recognition and acknowledgement of God’s generosity towards us.

To recognize God’s generosity towards you, will not make you see your generous giving as a donation. Your giving becomes a medium of honor.

“Honor the Lord with your wealth And with the first fruits of all your crops (income)” Proverbs 3:9 (Amplified Bible)

As a steward, you must see your giving to God as a means of showing honor to God.

David the King understood this; so after himself and his people had given to the building of the Lord’s Temple, they didn’t see it as helping God or as donation to God. To them, it was a means of honoring God.

As we have seen in the opening verse, let’s have another read:

“Both riches and honor come from You, And You reign over all. In Your hand is power and might; In Your hand it is to make great And to give strength to all. “Now therefore, our God, We thank You And praise Your glorious name. But who am I, and who are my people, That we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from You, And of Your own we have given You.” 1 Chronicles 29:12-14 (Amplified Bible)

See the verse 16 as well:

“O Lord our God, all this abundance that we have prepared to build You a house for Your holy name is from Your hand, and is all Your own” 1 Chronicles 29:16 (Amplified Bible).

Faithful stewards understand the privilege of serving the Lord with their wealth or money, through giving.

Don’t be a steward who goes all out to serve the Lord with all of their being, time, ideas, and abilities but wouldn’t see the need to serve the Lord with their money.

As long you have been able to serve the Lord with your being, be diligent to commit your money or wealth to the mission of the Kingdom.

Be a faithful steward of God’s resources.

Selah.
