I Am A Steward

Day 1- DEFINE IT

Steward (n) : one who is responsible for another’s money, property, estate and possessions.
1 Corinthians 4:1-2. What are you to be considered?
If you are a steward, what should be your character?
God wants you to take care of His things. You have been trusted with the truth of God. To the world, this Truth is a mystery. To you it’s life. Instead of viewing everything you have as yours, view it as His and you get to be a part of what He is doing with it.

Day 2- I AM A STEWARD OF MONEY AND THINGS

Read Psalm 24:1
What is the Lord’s? Is the money you have God’s or yours?
What does God want you to do with His money?
Proverbs 19:17, Proverbs 3:9, Acts 20:35, 2 Corinthians 8:7
Has anyone asked you to take care of something for them? For example, have you ever babysat? If you have, you were a steward. Did you think about being responsible with someone’s most precious possession? Do you have the same attitude with God’s things? How can you be responsible with all of God’s things that He has entrusted you with? Think about your valuables. What are some things the Lord would want you to do with them?

GIVE IT A TRY!

Memorize John 12:23. The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified and exalted.

Day 3- I AM A STEWARD OF GOD’S TIME

It’s easy to think that your time on earth is yours. Read what the Bible says about the days of your life in Psalm 139:16 and Ecclesiastes 3:1.
God knows the time He has given you. Yes, you can choose how you spend your time, but God has given all of your days. You wouldn’t have them unless He gave them.  He had a reason for you to be on the earth the time that you are here. You can hoard your time for yourself or you can give your time to God and let Him prioritize how you should use it.
Are you confident that God gave you the time you have on earth?
How can you be a good steward of God’s time?

Day 4- I AM A STEWARD OF MY BODY

Read 1 Corinthians 3:16-17. Why do you think God wants you to protect His temple?
Read Romans 12:1-2. How does God want you to be a good steward of your body?
If you are fully confident in God, you know that He wants great things for you. You also believe that He has purpose for you. The more you harm your body the more you are missing out on the abundant life God has for you. The more you harm your body the more you are abusing the vessel that God has created to do good things.
Is there any way you are harming your body?
Tell someone and let them help you. Is there any way you are harming another person? Are you pushing someone to do something that keeps them from the awesome plan God has for them? What are the ways you can be a good steward of your body?

Day 5- I AM A STEWARD OF MY RELATIONSHIPS

Your life should be defined by your relationship with God, but He also wants you to have healthy relationships with people.
Read Hebrews 10:24. What should your goal be in any relationship?
Read John 15:12. How has God loved you? How can you love others like God loved you?
Read Romans 12:10. What does it mean to honor another above yourself?
Honor another person more than your self. This is exactly how you can be a good steward of your relationships. If we did this, the world would be a different place.
Read Ephesians 6:2
What does this verse say about your relationship with your parents?
If you are a good steward of your relationship with your parents, you will value their role in your life and trust them. How can you be a good steward of your relationship with your parents by honoring your father and mother?
Read Proverbs 27:17
How does God describe healthy friendships?
How can you be a good steward of your friendships?
Read Hebrews 10:24
How can this verse challenge you to have healthy dating relationships?
Being a good steward in a dating relationship is when someone recognizes the person they are dating is not “theirs” but God’s. A good steward in a dating relationship views the person they are dating FIRST as a brother and sister in Christ. If you are too busy focusing on what you want out of a relationship, then you will be distracted and will not spur others on towards love and good deeds.
How can you treat your boyfriend/girlfriend as brother/sister in Christ?
Do you think having a physical relationship outside of marriage is being a good steward of a dating relationship?
