SHREWD MANAGEMENT 101 Jesus told this story to his disciples: “There was a certain rich man who had a manager handling his affairs.1day a report came that the manager was wasting his employer’s money. So the employer called him in and said, ‘What’s this I hear about u? Get your report in order, because you are going to be fired.’ “The manager thought to himself, ‘Now what? My boss has fired me. I dn’t have the strength to dig ditches, and I’m too proud to beg. Ah, I know how to ensure that I’ll hav plenty of friends who will give me a home when I am fired.’ “So he invited each person who owed money to his employer to come and discuss the situation. He asked d first one, ‘How much do you owe him?’ The man replied, ‘I owe him 800 gallons of olive oil.’ So the manager told him, ‘Take the bill and quickly change it to 400 gallons.’ “‘And how much do you owe my employer?’ he asked the next man. ‘I owe him 1,000 bushels of wheat,’ was the reply. ‘Here,’ the manager said, ‘take the bill and change it to 800 bushels.’ “The rich man had to admire the dishonest rascal for being so shrewd. And it is true that the children of this world are more shrewd in dealing with the world around them than are the children of the light. Here’s d lesson: Use your worldly resources to benefit others and make friends. Then, when your earthly possessions are gone, they will welcome you to an eternal home. //// Gulped from Luke 16:1-9 Here is a story that indeed gets some thinking into us. The lesson in the last part explains it all. Our worldly resources are to be used to benefit others and make friends. Every worldly resource put in our care is for here. We need to use them judiciously in a way that will benefit others as well as make friends, not enemies. Have this at the back of ur mind for every resource that comes to u. First, it should make the person that gave you happy. Second, it should make the people it goes to happy too. May God grant us grace for this, in Jesus name. BROOK OF WISDOM | @360gospel
