Text: Acts 5: 1-11
Memory
Verse: 1 Timothy 6:10
Introduction
The home is a very important place in God’s plan of
salvation. It is here that characters are formed and developed through
training. For this God provides various resources for the comfort of members.
The disciple is called upon to be a steward of God’s resources. This
responsibility needs to be carried out well to glorify God.
A disciple of Christ needs to know that:
·
God
is the source of all the resources.
o The earth and
everything belong to Him –Psalm 24:1
o The silver and gold
belong to Him – Haggai 2:8
o The time at his
disposal belong to God – Psalm 31:15
o The food on his table
belong to God – Psalm 103:5
o The clothing he has
belong to God – Genesis 28: 20
o All other resources in
the home belong to God – Deut. 8:18
·
God expects him to take
good care of all resources in the home
·
Resources must be used
to advance the welfare of people
·
Resources must be used
to advance the progress of God’s work
·
He should be careful he
does not become a slave to any of the resources – 1 Timothy 6:10
·
God blesses disciples
who prove themselves faithful stewards.
