If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches (Luke 16:11)?
From the words of the Master in our opening verse, if you’re not faithful in handling earthly riches, you’ll not be entrusted with heavenly treasures. That means your attitude toward money is a test. God watches how you handle resources to determine the weight of spiritual responsibilities He can commit to you.
In Christ, we’re stewards, custodians of divine resources entrusted to us for Kingdom purpose. Every blessing, every increase, every opportunity, every gift and grace that comes to you is a trust. You’re expected to manage it with Kingdom intent and purpose.
The Bible tells us to use our gifts, in their various forms, to serve as faithful stewards of God’s grace (1 Peter 4:10). This includes finances. God wants us to be good financial stewards. Financial stewardship is about aligning your resources with His agenda. It’s about being conscious that your supply is for Kingdom impact, expansion, world evangelization, and not for you to hoard.
Stewardship demands wisdom, planning, excellence, and accountability. It requires diligence in both little and much. Whether it’s a salary, a gift, or a business profit, treat it as a sacred trust. Use it to advance the Gospel. Honour the Lord with your finances. When you prove yourself as a faithful steward, the Lord multiplies your capacity and entrusts you with more, both spiritually and materially.
Prayer / Confession
Dear Father, thank you for making me a steward of Kingdom wealth. I handle all you’ve given me with wisdom and integrity. I align my resources with your will, and I’m found faithful in little and in much. I declare that I’m a channel of blessings to my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
