Want more joy and a closer walk with God? Chip shares the game plan for personal satisfaction and intimacy with Him.
Breakthrough Concept #2: God owns everything. I am His money manager.
The “Oikonomia” Principle: All that we are, and all that we have belongs to God and has been temporarily entrusted to us to manage according to His wishes. -1 Cor. 4:1-2
The Setting: Correction of the Pharisees and instruction of His disciples concerning wealth.
The Story: Luke 16:1-11
Mismanagement occurs and dismissal soon follows.
Two options are considered and a third is taken.
A commendation by the owner, a good lesson from a bad example, “he was shrewd.”
The Teaching: Faithfulness with material wealth is a prerequisite to being entrusted with spiritual wealth and rewards.
The Test: Two basic financial practices that demonstrate God is our #1 priority.
1. Generous stewards give the FIRST and BEST to God. -Pr. 3:9-10
2. Generous stewards give REGULARLY and SYSTEMATICALLY. -1 Cor. 16:2
Three questions wise stewards regularly ask
1. Am I using the money entrusted to me in accordance with the Owner’s wishes?
2. Am I carefully keeping account of where all the Owner’s funds are going?
3. Am I becoming “best friends” with the “Owner” by the privilege and opportunity of managing His resources?
