Product Description

This teaching takes you to two separate portions of the Scriptures to look at two instances of an unrighteous steward. You’ll look at who an unrighteous steward is, what renders him an unrighteous steward, and the consequences of his deeds. You’ll look at an instance of a man who went to hide the one talent entrusted to him by his lord in the ground and ended up a loser.

What are the characteristics of a loser? A loser always expects failures. He is always fearful. He wastes a lot of time in everything. He sees problems even where there is none. He complains about everybody. He seems to be busy but does nothing at all to improve anything. He is always on the lookout for people to fall. He translates a reality into dreams instead of translating dreams into reality. He always blames others for his failures. He talks about every issue but has no course of action. He creates more problems than providing solutions to problems.

What are the characteristics of an unrighteous steward? An unrighteous steward doesn’t remember the truth of his calling. He is characterised by fearfulness. He abuses his body. He does not maintain sacred treasure. He is a selfish person who never cares about others. He lacks forgiveness and does not consider the words he speaks. He lacks accountability. He is not responsible to anybody. He has wrong priorities. He practises partiality. He is like a blind watchman who doesn’t see through the eyes of God. He is ignorant of the truth, like a dumb dog who cannot proclaim the truth because the truth is not in him. He loves to sleep and slumber. He is like a greedy dog who never has enough. He continues in his evil ways, is selfish and self-centred, always looking for his own gain.

In this teaching, you will also look at five attitudes of a good steward. A good steward is watchful, keeping the sheep. He stands as a servant. He runs as a defender of good cause. He lies on the floor in penitence. He sits before God as a worshipper.

Allow the Spirit of God to search your heart as you listen to this heart-provoking message. Ask God to open your eyes to see areas in your life that could render you an unrighteous steward. The question each one of us has to ask ourselves in all honesty and sincerity before God is: Am I a righteous steward or an unrighteous steward?
