Being A Faithful Steward

Are you a faithful steward? Text: 1Corinthians 4:2 'Moreover, it is required in stewards that one be found faithful' A faithful steward is one who is sincere, honest and can be trusted. Jesus came into the world, showed us an example of what it means to be faithful and committed the work of the kingdom into our hands while He went to prepare a place for us. Running the race sincerely, bringing souls into God's kingdom, equipping, edifying or building up God's people amidst other kingdom assignments have been committed into our hands. Like the servants in Matthew 25:14-30, believers have been called to manage God's business here on earth. A productive Christian life is a sign of faithfulness to God. We have been called into God's kingdom not just to enjoy benefits but to labour for God. Unfortunately, many have their eyes only on the benefits and not on service. Faithfulness will guarantee that we are rewarded at the end of our journey here on earth. The unfaithful servant didn't get any reward and was punished because he was not actively engaged in the work committed into his hand. He was just okay to be recognised as the servant of a great man but did nothing to contribute to the success of the man's enterprise. To be rewarded, we need to understand that we have been called to manage the affairs of God's kingdom and to produce tangible results that God will reward.
