Not only for our sake, but for the sake of generations to come. There is not a person listening to me today to whom God has not given something for which he is going to be held accountable and responsible. Therefore, stewardship is binding upon every one of us, regardless of what we have, what we have received, or what we think we have. The principles of stewardship and accountability are binding upon us because God believes in us enough to say, I have entrusted you with something. It may be little, it may be much - but He has entrusted you.
Birth introduces one to stewardship.
Salvation raises the level of this stewardship to a new plane. He lives in us. As one commits more and more of himself to the Lord, he soon becomes more knowledgeable of his role as a steward. He can now begin to bear fruits for the Lord s kingdom through the giving of time, talents, and resources. The great preacher and teacher Dr. R. G. Lee of Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis said, Our ambassadorial assignment from God is to yield ourselves and our all in complete surrender to Jesus Christ.
