Work while you can

As children of God we are heirs of the Kingdom of God but we are also stewards and we must be careful how we apply everything that God has given to us, because He will hold us responsible for our time, our resources, everything that God has put in our hand.
Many believers are poor stewards of that which God has entrusted to them and Jesus spoke of such a poor steward. We read in Luke 16:1-9 “Now He was also saying to the disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and this steward was reported to him as squandering his possessions. 2 And he called him and said to him, what is this I hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward.’ 3 And the steward said to himself, what shall I do, since my master is taking the stewardship away from me? I am not strong enough to dig; I am ashamed to beg. 4 I know what I shall do, so that when I am removed from the stewardship, they will receive me into their homes. 5 And he summoned each one of his masters debtors, and he began saying to the first, How much do you owe my master? 6 And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty. 7 Then he said to another, And how much do you owe?’ And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. He said to him, take your bill, and write eighty. 8 And his master praised the unrighteous steward because he had acted shrewdly; for the sons of this age are more shrewd in relation to their own kind than the sons of light. 9 And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of the mammon of unrighteousness; that when it fails, they may receive you into the eternal dwellings.”
Many of God’s children are not faithful over that which He has given them, the time, the resources and they will be taken away as stewards. But these people think that they are better than the sinners, they scoff at those who they call unsaved but they do not realize that they will end up in HELL with those same people that they are scoffing at, and thus Jesus said that the people of the world are more wise than some believers because those believers that are unfaithful will spend eternity in HELL with those people whom they regarded as unsaved.
Are you a faithful steward of what God has given to you? Are you working for the Kingdom of God, or do you think it is the pastor’s job, it is somebody’s else’s job to testify for Jesus, it is not "my job." Are you looking after the Kingdom of God? Are you working for the Kingdom of God? We must work while we can because we don’t know when our time will come. It might be today, we just receive report of a family member who passed away yesterday, he was only 53. We don’t know when our time will come and what will you have to show to Jesus if you pass away today? You will have to give account of your stewardship. What did you do for the Kingdom of Heaven? What did you do for Jesus? Did you witness for Him? If we have no interest in the Kingdom of God, how can we expect to inherit anything?
Many believers will end up in hell with those people whom they regarded as unsaved, because they themselves were unfaithful over that which God entrusted to them and He decided that He has removed them, He has taken away the stewardship from them. Are we faithful stewards of that which God has entrusted to us or will He take away the stewardship form us also?
Let us work while we can and make sure that we are found to be faithful stewards of the Kingdom of God. Are you working for the Kingdom or don’t you care?
May Jesus bless you.
