True Stewardship

Image
Stewardship is how we take care of (or save) other's property entrusted to us. From an earthly perspective, yes. But God has a different idea about stewardship. It's often losing things (especially valuable things) he entrusted to us--to gain Him. Or losing what's dear to us to finally make the right spiritual investment. Sadly, church often has it the other way around. It sees stewardship the way the world does--storing up treasures on earth. Or, saving time on earth by not "wasting" it, for instance. Specifically, keeping church money intact in banks and making it grow. The more money saved, the better steward you are. Photo above by  Jonathan Pielmayer   on   Unsplash . Stewardship of money is often seen like what corporate companies do with their finances. Church would fuss a lot about accounting and auditing, records and ledgers.

In effect, he's saying that anything outside the spoken Word is flesh, and they count for nothing; they produce zero result in God's eyes. Zero. Pfft. Nothing. Nada. Only the spoken Word is Spirit and Life

The Resurrected Life: Why You Can't Afford Not to Believe in the Supernatural

Image
Image from Flickr Jesus' resurrection--it was the first in the world. It was purely supernatural. And that resurrection is part of a believer's daily life. Resurrection is right NOW and yet to come. And it's purely supernatural. This is why you cannot afford not to believe that the supernatural still happens everyday. Resurrection is not just a decision to change for the better because you're now a regular church person. It's a supernatural transformation only God can effect in you. An e-book to help you get a genuine supernatural transformation from God. Click here. The Father could've willed to experience it himself but delegated it to His Son, Jesus Christ. It's an incredible way of transforming body, soul and spirit to the highest level of restoration after death. Before this, God, was spirit and Jesus was the spoken Word yet to be made flesh. People then thought that God's awesome power had been displayed in its fullest through the signs a
