Are you a steward of the mysteries of God? Is your service right and acceptable before God? God is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6) and one of His rewards is greatness (Genesis 12:1-3). This post is aimed at ensuring that your service unto God leads to greatness in life.
Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards that one found faithful - I Corinthians 4:1-2 (NKJV).
For a bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money - Titus 1:7 (NKJV).
As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God - I Peter 4:10 (NKJV).
It is one thing to be involved in service activities, and another thing for your service to be acceptable before God. For God to make you great, your stewardship must be up to His standard. As a believing Christian, you are to be considered as a steward of the mysteries of God (1 Corinthians 4:1). An understanding of who a steward is will enable you to examine your performance as a steward.
A steward is said to be a person who manages properties or some other things for another person. And for God, we are managing His mysteries. For example, we are to manage the manifold grace of God - 1 Peter 4:10. How well have you managed the grace of God on your life to serve Him in whatever capacity He has positioned you? Read more...
