TOPIC: Rewards Of Faithful Stewardship (I) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 10 July 2022)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Kings 19:14-37, 2 Kings 20, Acts 28:1-16, Psalm 83:1-18
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Matthew 24:42-51 (KJV)
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
MEMORY VERSE: “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” – Psalms 24:1

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:

MFM Devotional For Today MESSAGE:
In the Kingdom of God, stewardship is demanded and rewarded when it is faithful and pleasing to God. Stewardship entails planning, management and administration. It is the act of being a manager or a caretaker. God created all things (Psalm 24:1; Psalm 50:11-12 and Haggai 2:8). He owns us and has chosen us as the stewards of His vast resources. Our role is to carry out His wishes on His property that He has entrusted to our care. Are you a parent or guardian? You are a steward. Your children and wards are God’s and not yours. Are you a business owner? The business belongs to God and you are His steward. Are you an employee? You are a steward and will account for your stewardship. Your finances, houses, cars, talents and time all belong to God and you will give account to Him for what you did with each of His resources committed to your hands.

There is no way anyone can succeed in stewardship without God’s direction and help. So, if you desire to succeed as a steward, there is an important question you must be able to answer. Father Lord, what do You want me to do with what you have entrusted in my care? It means that you need to get directions from God, the Owner of all, regarding what He wants you to do with all He has entrusted to you.
How do you get the directions? First, you must be born again. That is, confess and forsake your sins. You must accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour. The new relationship with the Lord is what will qualify you to be His steward. Second, you must regularly review the directions from the Stewards’ Training Manual — the Holy Bible. You must read the Bible on a daily basis. Study the word deeply and meditate on it regularly (2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 17:11). You should also memorise God’s word. When internalised, God’s word will prevent you from being a disobedient steward (Psalm 119:11). Third, you must befriend the Holy Spirit and follow His leading. Finally, you must be a prayer addict.
Beloved, I pray that God will give you the grace to be a good and faithful steward. The rewards are inestimable.
