7 Benefits Of Being A Kingdom Steward預覽

The first benefit to being a kingdom steward is receiving more answers to prayer. I recall a woman some years ago who needed a car. So, she prayed for one, but in that prayer, she got rather specific. She said, “God, I want a green and blue car. Those are my two favorite colors. I don’t know how to get that in a car, but it’s my specific request.” She went car hunting, and she found the perfect blue car. But because there was no green on it, she said, “God, I really do want blue and green.” I can tell you that she was not praying the prayer from the mindset of an owner. She had a steward’s heart and saw everything in her life as belonging to God. So, she spent some time debating with herself as to whether to buy the blue car or wait for her specific prayer to be answered. The salesman took her around the car, showed her everything, then lifted up the hood and the motor had been painted green. Because she held a steward’s view of everything in her life, God blessed her with answered prayer.

Many Christians don’t get their prayers answered because they approach God with the wrong mindset. They approach Him like they are the ones in control. Do you own your life? Are you the decision-maker? When you proceed from this false assumption, you end up looking to God as though His only role in your life is a giver of blessings.In other words, when you disregard God as the owner of all that is in your life, don’t expect Him to respond to your requests. But, when you treat God as the owner and you become the steward, He is much more interested in the conversation. That’s when you’ll get a specific answer to a specific request.
