About this listen

Sermon Summary:In this eye-opening message on biblical stewardship, we explored how our relationship with money and possessions directly impacts our spiritual lives. We discovered three essential mindsets of true stewardship: "It's God's, not mine," "It's God's responsibility to provide, not mine," and "It's my responsibility to steward God's things." Through personal testimony, we witnessed how relinquishing ownership of a business to God through a formal "Decree of Ownership" brought supernatural peace amid financial crisis.The message clarified common misconceptions about wealth, explaining that Scripture doesn't condemn having money—it warns against loving money. When wealth becomes our primary focus (Mammon), it displaces God from the center of our lives. True stewardship requires three key actions: faith/risk, work, and increase. We examined biblical examples of wealth transfer through stewardship, including the widow's oil multiplication, the Israelites' exodus from Egypt, and David's victory over Goliath.Practical application included repenting for incorrect mindsets, adopting biblical perspectives on ownership and provision, giving all possessions to God, working toward debt freedom, asking God to provide without forcing solutions, living within our means, and working diligently to honor God. The message concluded with a warning from Deuteronomy 8:12-14 about forgetting God when prosperity comes. Rather than allowing financial increase to distance us from God, we were challenged to deepen our spiritual walk as our stewardship responsibility increases. We were invited to a forthcoming conference designed to equip Christians for wealth creation that will finance Kingdom endeavors and increase godly influence in society.
