Day 237: AUG 25TH: KINGDOM TRUSTEESHIP: YOU ARE BLESSED TO DISPENSE, NOT TO POSSESS
Scripture
Luke 16:11
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
DAILY WISDOM
God does not bless consumers; He empowers distributors.
MESSAGE
Wealth is not evidence of divine favor unless it is steered according to God’s purpose. In the Kingdom, riches are never just for personal gain; they are tools, instruments, and platforms for lasting impact.
Luke 16:11 draws a clear line between mere possession and true responsibility: “If ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?”
This shows us the difference between worldly riches and true riches. God uses money to test your heart. He observes how you manage earthly wealth before granting you Kingdom authority, spiritual influence, and legacy responsibilities.
The principle is straightforward: what you do with what you have determines what Heaven can trust you with next.
God does not raise financial hoarders; He raises Kingdom trustees. A trustee is someone who manages wealth not for personal gain or security, but for Kingdom purposes.
This is why 2 Corinthians 9:10 states: “Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown…”
God gives seed to those who sow, not to those who store. He gives more to those who release more.
Proverbs 11:24 emphasizes this: “There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth…”
In the Kingdom, holding on does not lead to increase; scattering does. True increase comes from giving, not hoarding.
When you see yourself as a trustee, you stop asking “How much can I keep?” and start inquiring, “How much can I channel?” Your accounts become altars, your resources become tools, and your wealth becomes a testimony of God’s glory.
Matthew 6:21 makes it personal: “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”
If your treasure is in God’s hands, your heart will follow. If your treasure is tied to selfishness, your heart will be far from His purpose.
To act as a Kingdom trustee means being a dependable channel for divine transactions. God can direct wealth to you because He knows He can move it through you.
KEY SPIRITUAL INSIGHTS
1. WEALTH IN THE KINGDOM IS A TRUST, NOT A TRINKET.
Luke 16:11 – “Who will commit to your trust the true riches?”
2. TRUE RICHES COME AFTER FAITHFULNESS WITH EARTHLY WEALTH.
1 Timothy 6:17 – “Charge them that are rich… that they be not highminded…”
3. GOD PROVIDES MORE TO THOSE WHO RELEASE MORE.
2 Corinthians 9:10 – “Multiply your seed sown…”
4. YOU ARE BLESSED NOT TO IMPRESS, BUT TO SHOWCASE THE KINGDOM.
Proverbs 11:24 – “There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth…”
5. GOD’S RESOURCES DO NOT REMAIN LONG IN THE HANDS OF MISMANAGERS.
Matthew 25:28 – “Take the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.”
6. A KINGDOM TRUSTEE IS A CHANNEL FOR ETERNAL IMPACT, NOT TEMPORARY INDULGENCE.
Philippians 2:4 – “Look not every man on his own things, but… on the things of others.”
DAILY PURPOSE NOTE
Transition from being a collector to becoming a channel for God’s Kingdom. Wealth is not yours; it is a test from Heaven. Pass the test and step into true riches.
