Text: Matthew 24:45

“Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing.

 *As a Steward, you must not only be faithful but you must be wise.* While faithfulness will make you deal according to the terms and expectations of the Master (the LORD Jesus Christ), wisdom will help you know how to go about what He expects of you. 

A wise servant is one who faithfully carries out his master's instructions according to his master's terms and  expectations - the 'what', the 'how', and the 'when'.

One of the responsibilities wherein the master expects a servant to be faithful and wise in, is in giving meat to His household in due season. 

While every believer is a servant, all believers are the household of the Master. The meat is the word of God, and all the gifts that God has given to each member of the household is meant to serve the body of Christ.

As a Steward over all that God has given unto you, you must be wise enough to know how to give meat in due season  to the household. 

As a teacher, preacher and exhorter of God's word, you are to dispense and communicate God's word to His household appropriately, at the right time, and in the right manner. 

Apostle Paul once said, *"For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ."(2 Corinthians 2:17).* This is one of the wisdoms needed by every believer as regarding the preaching of the word.

Another wisdom that is  needed, is regarding your possession and riches.  Apostle Paul said to Timothy to *"Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;* That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.(1 Timothy 6:17-19).

Lastly, you must also be wise in your stewardship of God's giftings and anointing upon your life. Jesus once said to his disciples, *"Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give." (Matthew 10:8).* 

You must know that you are God's stewards of your possessions, riches, gifts, potentials and all that you have got, hence you must be wise to serve Jesus' household with same in due season.

*BIBLE READING:* 

Matthew 24:45-51.

 *PRAYER FOCUS:* 

Father LORD,  help me to be a faithful and wise servant. Teach me to serve diligently with all that you have blessed me with in Jesus name.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
