WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE BLESSED?
God touches your life.
YOU’VE BEEN BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING.
(Genesis 12:2; Romans 4:16)
14 “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. 15 To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. 16 The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. 17 So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. 18 But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money. 19 “After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them. 20 The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’ 21 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’” —Matthew 25:14-21 (NIV)
How Does God Bless Good Stewards?
1. He entrusts them with more.
“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things.’” —Matthew 25:21a (NIV)
2. He treats them as partners.
“Good work! You did your job well. From now on be my partner.” —Matthew 25:21 (MSG)
GOOD PARTNERS HAVE GOOD HEARTS–THEY’VE ALREADY DECIDED, “I’M IN!”
3. He shares His joy/happiness with them.
“Come and share your master’s happiness!” —Matthew 25:21b (NIV)
