Partakers Bible Thought 17 August 2021 – Stewardship and the Christian

Partakers Bible Thought 16 August 2021

6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. (2 Corinthians 9:6-8)

3 Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest. 2 He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house. 3 Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. 4 For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. 5 “Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house,” bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future. 6 But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory.(Hebrews 3:1-6)

Stewardship! All those who would call themselves a Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ, are called to be stewards and live a full life of stewardship! Stewardship is defined as the exercise of responsible care over possessions or gifts entrusted to them by God! The New Testament word “steward” derives from the Greek word – Oikonomos. This word meant somebody who was the manager of a household and also supervised all the resources of his master.
