Stewardship of God's grace


Everyone is given something to be of service to humanity. We are all put here to serve a cause. What are you steward over? What caused do you serve?

The eyes were made to see, the ear to hear, the hands to handle and the feet to walk. So everyone serves a purpose. Not everyone finds this purpose on time. Some have missed their timing, others have misused theirs, yet others are in the center of their stewardship.

"Assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God 's grace (His unmerited favor) that was entrusted to me [to dispense to you] for your benefit," (Eph.3.2 Amp.)

The Apostle Paul says his own was the stewardship of Grace. He is blessed to distribute the grace of God. Little wonder it was the Apostle Paul that exposed to the church the workings of the grace of God. When you look at his life you see exemplary representations of the grace of God.

This was entrusted to him. I am not going to ask if God can trust you with something but I'd rather ask what you are doing with what God has entrusted you with. This is because I know that God has entrusted you with something.

Your strengths and your opportunities are God's gift to you; what you do with them is your gift to God. If you are hands, handle. If you are eyes, see. If you are ear, hear. Whatever you are, just make sure you are a good steward in that regard.

Finally, make sure that whatever God has entrusted to you is for the benefit of mankind. Speaking to the Ephesian Paul says to them: "for your benefit". Whatever God entrusted you with is for the benefit of others. Don't be selfish with it. It is for the benefit of others.

Good day,
And have a great day today,

What's in a name?

What's in a name?  "He named him Noah, saying, "This one will give us a break from the hard work of farming the ground that GOD cursed." (Gen.5.29)  Names have prophetic attributes in them. When a thing is named, the name defines what it does and what it cannot do. When a person is named, his future is foretold, especially when the persons parents are in tune with the agenda of God. But that person has to work to bring that prophecy to reality.  John the baptist was a case in point when the wrong name would have been given. If the parent had not listened and obeyed God's instruction but instead bow to family and societal pressure.  "And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John." (Luke.1.60)  Another example is Benjamin, the second son from the loved-wife of Jacob. As the mother was dying from the pain of childbirth, he called the child Benoni but his father says not so, he shall be called Benjamin  "With her las...

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem  "When he served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good--not only ours, but the whole world's". (1John.1.2 MSB) When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, the sin passed through them to all men. And so the Bible recorded that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Rom.5.12)  But that was just the beginning of the story. Sin entered the world, and death came as a result of sin. It appears that mankind was doomed.  But Jesus came and served the punishment for sin and in so doing, He solved the sin problem for good. Now mankind has access once again to the Father. Now everything the Father has for us is at our disposal. Now we can reign by Jesus Christ and receive the abundance that God has for us.  "For if by one man's offence death reigned b...

"Law man" or God's man

Image
The law in one sense was a defective reflection of God. It reflected who God is; though not a perfect reflection. The law says don't steal, God does not steal. The law says do not lie, God does not lie, etc. But there was more to God that law could not show or give to us. As a result, God has given us His grace. His grace was not just a reflection of Himself but was God Himself. The law would should you what to do but could not grant you the ability to do it but grace did not just show you, He did it for us. The essence of the law was to satisfy God but grace came and did that on behalf of mankind. The reason why the Apostle says here that he quiets being a 'law man' but instead became God's man "What actually took place is this: I tried keeping rules and working my head off to please God, and it didn't work. So I quit being a "law man" so that I could be God's man". (Gal.2.18 MSG) Are you 'law man' who is still strivi...
