3 Gifts of Kingdom StewardshipChikamu

Treasures

In addition to your time and your talents, God has given you treasures. This includes not only money but also the tangible items over which you have been assigned as a steward. Whether it is your home, vehicles, material possessions or money—God has a purpose for all He has allowed you to obtain in this life. That purpose is to serve Him, bring good to others, and expand the manifestation of His kingdom rule on earth.

One way you are to steward the treasures He has given is by bringing it under God’s sovereignty. The use of what you own must yield to His will. Even owning what you own must yield to His will. As Jesus said in Luke 14:33, “So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own possessions.” That’s not a verse you hear preached on frequently or find as the title of a best-selling book. Can you imagine what would happen if someone published a book called Follow Jesus by Giving Up All You Own? It’s doubtful that book would get much exposure around the digital world or any buyers at all. Truth be told, we like our stuff. But a kingdom steward must maintain a biblical perspective when it comes to stuff. And that perspective means returning the ownership of all your possessions to God.
