PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS

PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS: IT’S ABOUT FAITHFULNESS IN SOMEONE ELSE ENTRUSTED BUSINESS!

“And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither. 2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a PROSPEROUS man; and he was in the house of his MASTER the Egyptian. 3 And his MASTER saw that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that he DID to PROSPER IN HIS HAND” Genesis 39:1-3.

“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. 11 If therefore ye HAVE NOT BEEN FAITHFUL in the UNRIGHTEOUS mammon, who will COMMIT to your TRUST the true riches? 12 And if ye have not been FAITHFUL in that which is ANOTHER MAN’S, who shall GIVE you that which is YOUR OWN?” Luke 16:10-12.

One great PRINCIPLED hallmark requirements for any Christian who wants to PROSPER and have GOOD SUCCESS by and with God in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead, is to be found FAITHFUL in someone else ENTRUSTED business and or works in goods and or services. It’s called the principle of STEWARDSHIP otherwise MANAGEMENT.

It’s a requirement that in STEWARDSHIP, a steward be found FAITHFUL, responsible and accountable in the PRINCIPLE of an ENTRUSTED position of someone else’s business – be it in goods and or services, irrespective of whether the ENTRUSTED business is owned by a Christian or a non-Christian.

“Let a man so ACCOUNT of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and STEWARDS of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is REQUIRED IN STEWARDS, that a man be found FAITHFUL” 1 Corinthians 4:1-2.

The enemy and cohorts lies of saying that the riches of the Gentiles belongs to you in order to live UNFAITHFUL, IRRESPONSIBLE and UNACCOUNTABLE in the PRINCIPLE of someone else’s ENTRUSTED business, doesn’t hold waters in the kingdom cause of our God.

And you can’t make EXCUSES of it because you are bringing the PROCEEDS to the house of God with such level of inappropriate disobedient to the word of God as King Saul did in Biblical days (1 Samuel 15:22-23) and or Ananias and Sapphira in the Epistles (Acts 5:1-11).

Faithfulness to the cause of stewardship in another’s ENTRUSTED business in the outlay PRINCIPLE is as found in the following but not limited:

* God is FAITHFUL in Himself – 1 Corinthians 1:9.

* Jesus in humanity was FAITHFUL in STEWARDSHIP – Hebrews 3:1-2.

* Moses was found FAITHFUL in STEWARDSHIP – Hebrews 3:3-5.

* Abraham was found FAITHFUL in STEWARDSHIP – Galatians 3:8-9.

* Daniel was found FAITHFUL in STEWARDSHIP – Daniel 6:4.

* Timotheus was found FAITHFUL in STEWARDSHIP – 1 Corinthians 4:16-17.

* Apostle Paul was found FAITHFUL in STEWARDSHIP  – 1 Timothy 1:12-13.

*. . . and many such like FAITHFULNESS in STEWARDSHIP in the Scriptures.

CAN YOU BE CONSIDERED FAITHFUL OR BE FOUND FAITHFUL IN STEWARDSHIP IN ANOTHER’S ENTRUSTED BUSINESS?

Many people WANT God to prosper and keep PROSPERING THE WORKS OF THEIR HANDS while in their UNFAITHFULNESS in the principle of someone else ENTRUSTED business affairs – in goods and services. You found this onward and upward trajectory behavior in many places of EMPLOYMENT – where people behavior helps to run the business down; and when you give them OPPORTUNITY to serve – they ruin it; ask them to TAKE CHARGE of things – they steal from it; ask them to LOOK AFTER a business – they become authoritarian to their subordinates; give them access to GOVERN OR LEAD in government – they loot the treasury and undermine governance; and same UNFAITHFUL behavior in many other such like; and yet these unfaithfulness in STEWARDSHIP will wants God to prosper them, which otherwise will never happen because God will always uphold His WORD, in every way of doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

In God, it’s about FAITHFULNESS and OBEDIENCE to the PRINCIPLE of any given opportune task over someone else ENTRUSTED business affairs be it in any form of good and services, as applicable to – Ministry, Family, Enterprises, Governance, Leadership, Management and such like more – and this is what actually defines our opportunity to own ours. How we deal with the ENTRUSTED services and goods in terms of materials, finance, equipment, people (staff), time, and such like that’s allocated to our care defines if we will definitely have our own materialized before us by the FAITHFUL God that have called us to the COMMUNION of STEWARDSHIP. 1 Corinthians 1:9; 1 Corinthians 4:1-2.

It’s my PRAYERS that you will be found FAITHFUL as STEWARD alias MANAGER’S in someone else’s ENTRUSTED business affairs in our path of doing life and living godly, such that ours will come to REALITY before us, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
