Be A Good Steward Of God’s Grace

1 Pet. 4:6-11

God gives the gifts of the spirit to believers freely and generously.  As good stewards, we are expected to minister the same to one another.  Spiritual gifts are God’s possession and were given to us freely. It’s a pity the church has become a commercial centre where salvation and miracles are for sale.  Christians should at no point and for no reasons, put up these gifts for sale.  The gifts are meant for the blessing of mankind, edification of the church of Christ and the glory of God. If you possess any resources, it is by God’s grace and this grace must not be taken for granted. Being puffed up simply because the power of God is on you and the gift of the Spirit is manifesting through you is an act of abuse of God’s grace.

POINT OF EMPHASIS:  God wants us to be good stewards of His grace through which the gifts of the Spirits are given.

PRAYER POINT:  O Lord, help me to bless mankind with the gifts You gave me. Make me a good steward.
