FEATURES OF GOOD STEWARDSHIP

It is important to know the features of good stewardship, so that you can carry out your God given assignment in the best possible way. Good stewardship involves working for or unto the Lord. In the parable Jesus told in Luke 12:42, the household is the Lord's; the work given to the steward is a work for the Lord. What have you been made a steward of? Are you handling it as yours instead of the Lord's? All that you have: your body, spouse, children, house, business etc. have been given to you by the Lord (2 Peter 1:3). It is His to give. You are thus a steward of these things and must use it for or unto the Lord (Romans 14:8, Colossians 3:23). Also, a good steward is aware that there is accountability at the return of our Lord and Brother Jesus Christ (Romans 14:12, Matthew 25:20-25).
