Title: "The Strategic Steward"
Text: Luke 16:1-13
5 years from now... What kind of life do you have?
I. The squandered trust vv1,2
II. The shrewd tactics vv.3-7
The controversial statement. v8
The master commended the unjust steward...
Luke 16:8 NIV
[8] “The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light
The wise decision for his future.
The unrighteous mammon
Culturally, they agreed for the discounted interests only of the manager's not the owner's interest. Which the manager commended him to be wise, securing his future... that they may welcome him in their house for him to stay.
- mindset: working, saving for the future.
III. The spiritual testing vv.9-18
Application of the parable:
Believers must have the mind for the future, for eternity...to use the wealth of the world in preparation for eternity so that the unbeliever to come to know the Lord, for them to welcome you in eternity.
- Faithfulness in small things (material) to serve the Lord.
- True wealth (not of this world)
- Being good stewards..
What we have here is for training ground...talent, health, strength, wealth.
The unbeliever is more wiser for they think helping others will bring them to heaven... How about the believers? Are we investing for our future? We do not own what we have...
How we serve today with what we have, will determine our position in the future (eternity)...
By Serving Jesus Today‼️
How close we are to Jesus, it will be easier for us to go to Him ..
"When you are close to Him, you will see Him big."
Be a wise steward, invest for eternity‼️
Serve today,‼️
