Stewards Of God’s Grace
Today’s Bible Reading: Luke 12:42
Memory Verse: Luke 12:42
‘And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his Lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?’
Commentary By Andrew Wommack
A steward is a person who has been entrusted with administering someone else’s wealth or affairs. The possessions a steward controls are not his own and he does not have the freedom to do with them as he wishes. He is supposed to carry out the desires of the one who made him steward.
A banker is a steward. He has been entrusted with other people’s money. He is free to invest that money wisely in a way that will benefit his depositors and stockholders, but would be sent to jail if he took all that money and simply consumed it upon himself. A steward is accountable (Lk. 16:2) to someone else for the use of that person’s money. The money does not belong to him even though it is in his possession.
This parable, and other scriptures (1 Cor. 4:1; Ti. 1:7; 1 Pet. 4:10), describes every believer as a steward of God’s grace. The wealth, talents, and abilities we possess, as well as the revelation of God’s love that we’ve been given, are not our own to do with as we please. We have received these things from God and are therefore accountable to Him for the use or misuse of these gifts. Keeping this in mind is essential for fulfilling our obligation to God as stewards of His ‘manifold grace.’
I am a steward of every blessing God has bestowed upon my life, especially the grace of God. And will be accountable someday, hence I have to put it to good use in order to give a good account someday! What a timely reminder!
May I continue to be a faithful and a wise steward of God’s grace, so that I will be accountable to him for the use of his gift. ???
I am a steward of God’s Grace and have to walk this journey as a believer accordingly. Help me sweet Holy Spirit by your leading and guidance…
“We have received these things from God and are therefore accountable to Him for the use or misuse of these gifts.“ The gifts God has given to me are amazing and I must give God all the glory in it
“Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”
I Corinthians 10:31 NKJV
I strive to be faithful in all what the Lord has given me, so that when that day comes and I am asked, I will able to give a good account.
To Him be the glory
