Day 233: AUG 21ST: FAITHFUL STEWARDSHIP: THE PATHWAY TO DIVINE ENLARGEMENT

Scripture

Luke 16:10

He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much; and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much

DAILY WISDOM

God promotes based on trust, not feelings. Stewardship comes before dominion.

MESSAGE

One of the most misunderstood yet essential truths of Kingdom prosperity is that wealth is not primarily about abundance but about stewardship. Many ask for increase, but few prepare by responsibly managing what they already have.

 

Luke 16:10 sets the divine standard: “He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much…”

 

God doesn’t reward potential; He rewards how well you manage. Before God gives you wealth, He checks your faithfulness. Heaven’s wealth is not given to spiritual tourists. It is entrusted to faithful managers. The principle is clear: how you handle little will determine what Heaven gives you next.

 

Faithfulness is not judged by how much you have but by how consistently you manage it. You may not have ten talents, but if you handle two with care and integrity, God will reward you with more.

 

Matthew 25:21 confirms this principle: “Thou hast been faithful over a few things; I will make thee ruler over many things…”

 

Rulership comes as a reward for stewardship. Before Joseph ruled Egypt, he managed a prison. Before David became king, he took care of sheep. No one skips this test.

 

Wealth in the Kingdom is never random; it follows trust. If you can’t handle a hundred with integrity, you won’t manage a million with purpose. If you waste what is small, you disqualify yourself from what is great.

 

1 Corinthians 4:2 highlights this: “Moreover, it is required in stewards that a man be found faithful.”

 

The foundation of stewardship is recognizing that everything belongs to God. Your money, time, opportunities, and relationships are divine assets for you to manage. Until you realize that nothing is truly yours, you will mismanage what has been entrusted to you.

 

Deuteronomy 8:18 reinforces this truth: “But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth…”

 

You are not the source; you are a steward of the Source. How you treat God’s resources will determine whether more comes your way.

 

Faithfulness can be seen in:

  • Budgeting small amounts without complaining.
  • Giving generously without resentment.
  • Honoring God consistently with tithes and offerings.
  • Making the most of your time and talents.

 

You don’t need more to be faithful; you need clear purpose and accountability.

 

The ability to grow rests upon responsible stewards. If God can trust you, He will multiply what you have.
