Real Servants of GOD Think Like Stewards, Not OWNERS .... WHICH ONE ARE YOU MAN OR WOMAN OF GOD ? .... ARE YOU SERVING GOD AS A KINGDOM BUILDER OR A WEALTH BUILDER ??? THINK AGAIN,HAS MONEY REPLACED GOD IN YOUR LIFE ??/ STEWARDS remember God owns it all. In the Bible, a steward was a servant entrusted to manage an estate. Joseph was this kind of servant as a prisoner in Egypt. First, Potiphar entrusted Joseph with his home. Then the jailer entrusted Joseph with his jail. Eventually Pharaoh entrusted the entire nation to him. Servanthood and stewardship go together since God expects us to be trustworthy in both. The Bible says, The one thing required of such servants is that they be faithful to their master. How are you handling the resources God has entrusted to you? To become a real servant, youre going to have to settle the issue of money in your life. Jesus said, No servant can serve two masters... You cannot serve both God and Money. He didnt say, You shouldnt serve both, but You cannot. It is impossible. Living for ministry and living for money are mutually exclusive goals. Which one will you choose? If youre a servant of God you cant moonlight for yourself. All your time belongs to God. He insists on exclusive allegiance, not part-time faithfulness. Money has the greatest potential to replace God in your life. More people are sidetracked from serving by materialism than anything else. They say, After I achieve my financial goals, Im going to serve God. That is a foolish decision they will regret for eternity. When Jesus is your Master, money serves you, but if money is your master, you become its slave. Wealth is certainly not a sin, but failing to use it for Gods glory is. Real servants are more concerned about ministry than money. The Bible is very clear: God uses money to test your faithfulness as a servant. Thats why Jesus talked more about money than he did about either heaven or hell. He said, If you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? How you manage your money affects how much God can bless your life. I believe people usually fall into one of two categories: Kingdom Builders OR Wealth BuilderS ... SO WHY ARE YOU SERVING GOD #EVANGELISTKEVOHZEAL
