Stewardship

The gift of Stewardship is the God enabled ability to manage financial, human and time resources effectively in a manner that honors the Lord. The person possessing the gift of Stewardship may also display the gift of administration and/or the gift of Giving.

 

Jesus describes the wise manager in Luke 12:42-44…”The Lord answered, ‘Who then is the faithful and wise manager, who the master puts in charge of his servants to give them food allowance at the proper time? It will be good for that servant who the master finds doing so when he returns. I tell you the truth he will put him in charge of all his possessions’.” Similarly, the Parable of the Talents found in Matthew 25:14-30 makes it clear that the wise Steward will invest and multiply whatever God has given him.
