WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF STEWARDS
Horace Bushnell said:
"One more revival, one more is needed; the revival of Christian stewardship, the consecration of the money power of the church unto God; and when that revival comes the Kingdom of God will come in a day. You can no more prevent it than you can hold back the tides of the ocean."
Stewardship is one of the most important ministries if not the most important ministry of a believer. Yes, every believer, regardless of the age, education, culture or time spent as a believer has joined the ranks of stewards when they got baptized. Reason being is that stewardship is rooted and grounded in what Christ has accomplished on the cross for each and every one of us.
The Inspired writer Ellen G. White has put it this way:
"The light of the gospel shining from the cross of Christ rebukes selfishness and encourages liberality and benevolence. It should not be a lamented fact that there are increasing calls to give. God in His providence is calling His people out from their limited sphere of action, to enter upon greater enterprises. Unlimited effort is demanded at this time when moral darkness is covering the world. Many of God's people are in danger of being ensnared by worldliness and covetousness. They should understand that it is His mercy that multiplies the demands for their means. Objects that call benevolence into action must be placed before them, or they cannot pattern after the character of the great Exemplar. {CS 14.3}
God had a purpose in giving His "Only Begotten Son" and it wasn't just the redemption of the human race from their sins and death, but it was also for the purpose of making those redeemed become channels of his grace, managers, and administrators of all His blessings. This life of stewardship is restoring each day the image of Christ in us all.
"It is the glory of the gospel that it is founded upon the principle of restoring in the fallen race the divine image by a constant manifestation of benevolence." - {CS 14.1}
Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians:
"Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord." 2 Corinthians 3:17-18
