Sunday Celebration (1st Service) – 21st March, 2024
Topic: Principles for Kingdom Stewardship
Text: Proverbs 3:9-10
Minister: Pastor Joseph Ice
The core of today’s message emphasized that believers are not mere owners of their possessions, but stewards entrusted by God. Here’s a snapshot of the key takeaways:
1. Understanding Stewardship: Stewardship involves recognizing that all we possess, including our lives, are entrusted to us by God. This awareness directs our actions and prompts us to be accountable for our resources.
2. Purposeful Prosperity: Prosperity devoid of purpose leads to ruin. Purpose guides our actions and ensures that our prosperity aligns with God’s intentions for our lives.
3. Areas for Stewardship:
– Tithes and Offerings: Pastor Ice highlighted the significance of honoring the covenant through tithing and offerings, stressing that these acts are not merely about giving but about upholding a sacred covenant with God.
– Financial Wisdom: Cultivating financial literacy through reading and understanding the laws governing money is integral to stewardship. Giving generously reflects our alignment with God’s purposes and principles.
– Kingdom Generosity: Zechariah 1:17 and Psalms 35:27 underscored the importance of generosity in advancing God’s kingdom, emphasizing that our generosity reflects our commitment to His cause.
In summary, mastering Kingdom stewardship involves recognizing God’s ownership over our lives and resources, aligning our prosperity with His purposes, and generously contributing to His kingdom agenda. By adhering to these principles, believers can effectively fulfill their role as faithful stewards in God’s Kingdom.
