UPPER LEVEL MANAGEMENT!


“BREAKING FINANCIAL BARRIERS”

UPPER LEVEL MANAGEMENT

“Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents. And likewise, he who had received two gained two more also. But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money”. (Matthew 25:16-18 NKJV)

~ THE ART OF STEWARDSHIP ~

Stewardship - To provide careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one’s care. A good steward (manager) does things in the best interest of the owner. As GOD is the owner of ALL, we should “steward all that we have in the BEST INTEREST of GOD”!

“The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it, the world and all who live in it.” Psalm 24:1 (NIV)

  1. STEWARDS PROPERLY MANAGE THEIR GOD GIVEN ASSETS. WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR HAND THAT CAN BLESS GOD?

- TIME

- TALENTS

- TREASURES

“Remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth.” Deuteronomy 8:18 (NIV)

2. SEEDS MULTIPLY MORE SEEDS WHEN PLANTED IN THE RIGHT SOIL. FAITHFUL STEWARDSHIP BRINGS A REWARD!

“To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away.” Matthew 25:29 (NLT)
