I.Success God’s Way
A. Stewardship (Luke 16:10-13)
1. (v10-11) Jesus calls money “the least” and states that if you are not faithful in the least you are disqualified for the true riches. Money is the test for true riches from God.
a. If you can’t walk a mile you sure can’t run 10 miles. If you can’t leap 2 feet you can’t long jump 18 feet.
b. Money is “the least”; the “true riches” are the power to get wealth (the anointing and wisdom of God), healing, marriage & family, etc.
2. (v12) If you are not faithful with someone else’s stuff (God’s) you are disqualified to have your own.
a. If you are a poor employee you disqualify yourself for business ownership.
3. (v13) Don’t put your trust in money. Put your trust in God! (1 Tim. 6:6-10, 17-19)
a. God is your Source. (Phil. 4:19)
~(Ps. 24:1; 50:7-15; 89:11; 115:9-16) God is owner and we are stewards.
~(Luke 12:13-21 GNT) living for the here and now vs. living for God.
~(Mark 10:17-31) Money shows the truth of our hearts toward God.
-(Matt. 6:19-21 GNT) “…For your heart will always be where your treasure is.”
~(Gen. 12:1-3, 10) Abram left his family and everything he knew and trusted God.
~(Gen. 13:1-6 AMP) God made Abram very rich because He knew God was his source.
