Stewards

I was once asked about the parable in Luke 16 which ends with Luke 16:13

“No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”

The use of the word everlasting in this parable denotes that Jesus is talking about our eternal future. The people who have been saved and blessed by our investments in the kingdom of God will literally receive us into our everlasting home when we pass on to be with the Lord.

God gave you your material possessions, so you are actually a steward of His resources. He gave you this wealth to establish His covenant on the earth—not so you could consume it upon your own lusts. Today, use your money and possessions with this in mind: You have been blessed to be a blessing.
