Intercession

Intercessors are the stewards of the prophetic promises of the church….Lou Engle

As I read this quote this week something began to stir in my spirit. Then in my devotion this morning i read the parable of the steward that was accused of wasting his master's goods in Luke 16.

As I read this I wondered, are we truly being good stewards of what God is giving us?

Are we being good stewards of our time, our talents, as well as our money (treasure)?

I do believe, one day I will stand before God Himself and give an account of my stewardship….I want to be able to stand blameless, how about you?

If God were to give us a mighty outpouring of His Spirit, would we be able to steward that move…or would we take credit for having it come in the first place?

If God were to give us 1,000 souls this week, would we steward those people in discipleship, or would we walk around like a rooster in a barnyard, squalking about our growth?

If God were to use us to raise a dead man, would we be a good steward of the attention that would come from that, our would we attempt to devise a marketing strategy, to gain us more notoriety….?

Intercessors, please keep praying! The Church of Jesus Christ will prevail in humility!

Personally, I want to humble myself in the sight of the Lord…having Him do it hurts too much!

Are we being good stewards of what God has given, including our successes, or are we building our own kingdoms?
