THE FAITHFUL STEWARD

Luke 12:48 KJV
But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

   In our previous devotional yesterday, we learnt that we have received the ministry of reconciliation which is also compared as the greater ministry than that of condemnation because the letter kills but the Spirit gives life and we have the ministry of the Spirit.

After receiving such a glorious ministry, we can't settle for less until all people come to the full knowledge of Christ 
    But this requires us to become faithful stewards because we are being given and committed with much which position us to be  required much.

To be faithful is not all about being available, neither just being effective but as the Word is double edged, so being faithful. 
Faithfulness takes the reconciliation of being available to be used of God; where you are conscious that the sufficient is not of you but of God and being effective where your awakened to the power in you which resurrected Jesus from the cross.

A faithful steward is one who's awakened to who he is in Christ and his dependability isn't on what he can do but instead to God. His like a man with fire in his bones, where he can't just stay silent but instead to talk about what he saw in God Jer 20:9, the Word on his heart made him vulnerable to the Holy Spirit

JOT OF VERACITY
A faithful steward is one who's bounded in the spirit by the love of God because Love constrains and his heart is vulnerable to the Holy Spirit because of the word in his heart.

PRAYER
Heavenly Father I thank You for this daily bread, I appreciate the mystery You entrusted to me so that I may become a steward of it, I am faithful in Your work to the glory of Christ AMEN

POWER OVER SIN

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DAILY DEVOTION Bible study department Sunday 16th June,2024 Galatians 5:24 (TLB) Those who belong to be Christ have nailed their natural evil desires to his cross and crucified them there.   POWER OVER SIN The strength for our conquering and our victory is drawn continually from Christ. The Bible does not teach that sin is completely eradicated from the Christian in this life, but it does teach that sin shall no longer reign over you.  The strength and power of sin have been broken. The Christian now has resources available to live above and beyond this world. The Bible teaches that whosoever is born of God does not practice sin. It is like the little girl who said that when the devil came knocking with a temptation, she just sent Jesus to the door. FURTHER STUDY: Romans 4:7(NKJV) Romans 6:14(NKJV) 1 John:18(NKJV) PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I Thank you for the power that continually make me live above sin, I live and move as a victor because the world finds ...

ELGON MISSION TEAM DAILY ~ DEVOTIONS Bible study department Saturday 13th January 2024 John 14:15-16 NKJV "If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever THE COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD In this portion of scripture, Jesus is telling his disciples that they have to keep His commandments then by that is when He will ask God the Father to send them the helper, that will abide with them forever. Mark 12:30 - 31 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." There are many commandments that were given to the children of Israel but then we see Jesus Christ The Son of God enlightening us in this part of scripture that there is no other c...

Necessity Of Fasting

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DAILY DEVOTIONS Bible study department Thursday 13th June 2024 Mathew 17:21 (kJV)   "How beit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." NECESSITY OF FASTING In the book of Mathew 9:14-15,we realize that the groom left only when he spent 3 days in the grave. We all believe in His resurrection and the bible clearly tells us that when we received Him He begun to dwell in us, in other words the bridegroom is with us still. So why then do we fast?? Many christians have it on their minds that it's because they fast that they receive results simply because they received results after some serious days, weeks, months, or even years of fasting, this is a very inconsistent way to go about fasting because if you think that what Jesus did on the cross is not enough, then how much more is your fasting insufficient?? , you can't help God by fasting. Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 9:27(AMP) ".........but like a boxer, I buffett my...
