THE QUALITIES OF A
STEWARD – Having An Abiding Faith
Main Text: 2 Peter 1:1-11
Memory Verse:” But you, dear friends, build
yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit.” Jude 20
(NIV)
Introduction
As stewards of the Lord we need to have an
abiding and deep faith in the teachings and practices of the Master. Then we
would be able to follow him steadfastly and not be tossed by any kind of
doctrine. Gifts can be transferred but as stewards, it is our responsibility to
develop strong faith in the Lord. No one can transfer that to us. There is the
need to develop our individual spiritual life. A good steward must be rooted in
the faith. Having an abiding and strong faith makes us productive.
Discussion Questions
1. What do you understand by having an abiding
and strong faith?
2. Why should a good steward have an abiding and strong
faith? Verse 10
3. How does a good steward develop deep faith?
4. What is the benefit of having an abiding and
strong faith? Verse 11.
5. Are there circumstances in life that makes
believers not to have strong faith?
Conclusion
The Bible warns us that in the last days there
will be scoffers, deceivers and false prophets and above all the love of many
disciples shall wax cold. It is therefore imperative that we have an abiding
and strong faith to overcome temptations. To have an abiding and strong faith
means know Christ through consistent personal, Bible study, reading of and
meditation on the word of God and Prayer life. It is through these activities
that we can also develop our faith in the Lord.
