"Christ…His Body, which is the church; Of which I became a minister according to the stewardship of God," (Colossians 1:24-25)
"Here, furthermore, it is sought in stewards that one be found faithful. A man should account us in this way, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God." (1 Corinthians 4:1-2)
Praise the Lord, for Paul’s, unique apostleship, and this apostleship was manifested through Paul’s faithful stewardship. A steward dispenses the family wealth. We certainly live in a wealthy family, the household of God, and our primary riches are Christ himself. Paul’s burden as the steward of God was to dispense the riches of Christ to all the members but also to teach the body of Christ how they can enjoy all the riches. We enjoy the riches of Christ in everything, in whatsoever we do in word or deed, doing all to the glory of God as we experience Christ as our life between all the members to where we simply live in the realm of the new man which is the church. The church should be an environment where you find Christ as all and see Him in all. This is the reality of the New Testament church that is under the stewardship of God. May we all be faithful stewards enjoying Him in all our living and dispensing Him to one another.
