7 Benefits Of Being A Kingdom StewardSample

The sixth benefit of being a kingdom steward is experiencing more reversals of fortune where God turns something around in your life for the better. I remember the black-and-white Superman TV show. In one episode, the Daily Planet is on fire, and Superman flies in and saves a man just before the building collapses. They fly high into the sky, and as you might expect, the man is terrified! Superman has flown him so high, he and the man are practically in outer space, so the man starts panicking. Then Superman looks at this frightened man and says, “What makes you think that having delivered you from the fire, I would drop you after the rescue?”

That’s often how it is with us and God. We have been delivered from the fires of hell. What makes us think that He would allow us to fall while here on earth? The real problem is one of positioning. We don’t position ourselves right with God and leave ourselves exposed to the enemy and his plans to devour us. He comes to steal, kill and destroy. Because we leave ourselves exposed, he is able to eat our blessing. He steals our talent. He steals our reward. God wants us to remember that as the Owner, He’s got us. Therefore, we need to renew our belief that no matter the circumstances, we need to stay in alignment with our Owner and not leave ourselves exposed to the enemy. This reversal of fortune from calamity to salvation should fill us with great hope and faith in Him.
