Beloved, we must look to the Steward of all stewards which is the Father Supreme above all. He Himself gave to us generously when He sent His one and only Son, the blessed Lord Jesus. With that being said, I now invite you into my HEART...
“For I give you good doctrine; Do not forsake my law.” (Proverbs 4:2)
What is it to be a steward and to uphold a stewardship worthy of its honor? Is it only in the dealings of finances? Of course not, but such a thing I strive to accomplish as should you, but greater than that! To be a steward of all things— that is your time, talent and treasures. For who among us can say in all things they have exercised the wisdom of God first and the stewardship of the heavenly Father next and the example of it all through the blessed Son Christ Jesus last? None! We cannot say this in and of ourselves, but through the power of God given to us through the Spirit of God in which was made available through the blessed Redeemers sacrifice most perfect and all made possible through the unconditional love and grace of the Majestic and Holy Father above, who is above all, in all and hallelujah, for all. Amen.
Beloved, to be a steward of the kingdom of heaven is to never put ourselves above anyone, but in all things and above all things and distributed through grace in love to all people, we would have been identified with Him who gave the utmost in stewardship that is in His bodily sacrifice to death even death by the Cross, the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
Such is to say, in our bodies let our “living sacrifice” be that of the Son, and our unconditional and sacrificial dealings with all people be that of the Majestic Father over all Creation. Amen.
