Our body is created on the image of God. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. We are valuable in the sight of God. He has provided everything for our physical growth. Let us make a resolution to take care of this body by eating right, exercising regularly and take preventative and curative measures to keep it healthy.
Proverb 18:21 says “ The tongue has the power of life and death and those who love it will eat its fruit.”
• One day we will stand before Jesus Christ and will give account of every careless word.
• Let us be a good stewards of our tongue.
We are all stewards of God’s resources. We need to use them to enhance and promote God’s Kingdom, so we can hear commendation by the master in the end. Joseph is a great example in OT or or faithful Steward in Genesis 41:41-42.
41 So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt. 42 Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his finger and put in on Joseph’s finger. He dressed him in robes of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck.”
Eph 2:10 10 “For we are God’”s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do so.”
Meaning of stewardship is to manage God given resources for his glory and benefit of others. God is the owner of everything and every person. He has entrusted us money, time, talents, testimony, body, work and many other gifts. We need to be faithful and accountable to him in everything.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
In the garden of Eden, Adam was defeated by Satan because he failed to use the word of God to defend himself. But, Jesus Christ, defeated Satan in the wilderness of Judea with the power of God’s word. He has shown us the art of swordsmanship.
Let us defeat the enemy with the Sword of the Spirit.
In this hopeless and confused world, helmet of salvation gives the believer rich inheritance in Christ, power over sin and blessed hope of the bright future. Knowing our position, power and prospect, we can defeat the enemy in our daily struggles with him.
