3 Gifts of Kingdom StewardshipSample

Talents

Each of us has been tasked with managing the talents God has given to us. These are the skills He has bestowed upon you for His purposes. Whatever He has given to you, whether skills, abilities, talents or personality traits, He’s placed it all within your disposal in order to usher in greater good for others and expanded glory for Him.

The Bible declares that your greatest Christian stewardship is not seen in what you get from God but in what God, through you, can give to others as you serve Him in alignment with your gifts. This can sometimes be tough for people to do because we live in a “me” generation. We live in a culture of selfies and narcissistic promotional ways.

Yet God has asked each of us to use that which we’ve been given not to balloon our own platform or build our own brand, but to advance His kingdom agenda on earth. One of the primary components of that agenda is helping those who are less fortunate than yourself according to the gifts and skills He has given you. Loving God and loving others are the first and second commandments we have been given to carry out as kingdom stewards (see Matthew 22:36-39). This love ought to show up in our feet through what we do to strengthen others through the gifts, abilities and talents God has given to us.
