STEWARDSHIP or Management wealth:

Biblical stewardship involves delegated responsibility to manage for another person (e.g., Luke 16:1, 12).

Stewardship in the OT specifically indicates management of someone’s household (Isaiah 22:15), i.e., through a “house steward” (Genesis 43:19; 44:4). In NT usage stewardship may involve:

- (1) oversight of employees through a “foreman” (Matthew 20:8; cf. Luke 12:42);

- 2) care for another person, especially as a guardian over a child (Galatians 4:2);

- 3) management of a superior’s
possessions (Luke 12:42-44; 16:1-8); or

-(4) Christian responsibility to faithfully fulfill one’s God-given ministry, particularly in proclaiming the gospel of Christ (1 Corinthians 9:17; Ephesians 3:2; Colossians 1:25; cf. Colossians 4:17).

The broader doctrine of stewardship indicates Christian responsibility to faithfully use personal gifts (natural and spiritual), time, and possessions as divine entrustments to serve God and man. {Use all three(3)}

Christian stewardship properly recognizes that all human abilities and possessions, including the earth and its contents, are on consignment to man from God (1 Chronicles 29:12; John 3:27; James 1:17; cf. Genesis 1:26-28; Psalms 8:3-8).

Thus the use of such divine endowments should be as follows:

- (1) accord with individual ability (Matthew 25:15);

- (2) express richness toward God (cf. Luke 12:21);

-(3) involve an efficient use of time and opportunity (Ephesians 5:16; Colossians 4:5);

- (4) accord with personal prosperity (1 Corinthians 16:2);

- (5) result from individual intent of heart (2 Corinthians 9:7); and

-(6) express glory and faith toward God (1 Corinthians 10:31; 1 Timothy 6:17).
