7 Keys To Constant MiraclesSample

Key 3: What You Steward Will Increase

If you want constant breakthroughs and miracles in your life, the third key is very simple. Key #3 is found in one of the strange sayings of Jesus:

"For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away" (Matthew 25:29).

This is a "strange saying of Jesus" because we understand that part about "To everyone who has, more will be given." However, the second part of the verse is a little more challenging. How can you take away something from the person "who does not have"? 

Obviously, that person "who does not have" must actually have something, for Jesus then said, "even what he has will be taken away"! You have to have something to have it taken away! 

So what is Jesus' point? Simply this:

Jesus is referring to the level of our stewardship over His gifts.

If you read the context of the entire passage in Matthew 25:14-30, we see that Jesus is saying (if I paraphrase it in modern-day language):

"If you recognize that you do have something, and you steward it properly, I will give you more. However, if you don't recognize what you have, don't acknowledge it, and don't steward it properly, then whatever you do actually have will be taken away from you."

This is consistent with other Scriptures that teach us that, when we steward something well, God will give us more to steward—but if we are bad servants and bad stewards, He will take away what we do have and give it to faithful servants instead.

So what does faithful stewardship look like when you want to see miracles in your life?

Four things:

1. Acknowledge that even the smallest blessings are still things the Lord has given you. Even small beginnings are important!
2. Thank Him for everything!
3. Keep believing His Word and promises over your life, even before you see those promises manifesting. 
4. Take care of everything He has given you the way He wants you to—even the small things.

No matter what, do not let yourself say or believe lies from the enemy like "Oh, God's promises and prophetic words never come to pass for me. Nothing good ever seems to happen for me. Everyone else gets blessed and promoted, but I never do." That kind of doubt, self-pity, and unbelief are odious to God. If you let yourself go there, even what you have will be taken away from you.

God requires us to be faithful stewards.

Being a faithful steward means that you acknowledge God and take care of everything He has entrusted to you to the best of your ability. Please, don't despise the day of small beginnings (Zechariah 4:10). We have a sacred trust, and that sacred trust is:

• To honor God; 
• To thank Him; 
• To glorify Him; and 
• To worship Him with our actions and obedience—including with our faithful stewardship of His blessings.

If you want to see constant miracles, acknowledge and take care of even the small beginnings.

Take care of what God has given you, even when it's tiny. Give God glory, right where you are. If you will be a good steward of what He gives you, He will increase you over time.

Is there a small beginning in your life for which you need to thank the Lord? Do you need to improve your level of stewardship? 

If so, stop and make things right with the Lord right now! His ear is tuned to your voice, and He delights in hearing your humble cry!
