I will become a good steward for my God

TOPIC: “I will become a good steward for my God” 2 Corinthians 5:10 If we live the day and count the hours we will add wisdom. This way we will know how to take care and prosper for good what God has put in our hands. At the end of our days on this Earth we will close this earthly chapter we have to live and come before Christ's Tribunal, there we will be rewarded according to all we have done. If we look at our body and we study ourselves according to what we do every day we will understand that one day we will be accountable for our mortal life. When we think about our days we add wisdom because we don't know when our souls will be claimed. Psalm 90:12 Sometimes we think we won't have to, but one day we will be accountable to the one who gave us life. For such reason, it is necessary to take care and maintain in good state all those things that God has given us which we will have to account for. Mathew 18:23 The Kingdom of Heaven is similar to a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. What we do is to become servants of God. The servant serves voluntarily. Our souls do not belong to us and one day it will be claimed to see what we did with it. Let us implore that God be the one to ask for it. People don't like to be accountable for, but all of us will have to do so one day. Rebellious people don't like to be accountable. But, God is God above all things and before Him every knee will bend in Heaven and on Earth. Luke 19:15 Many times we want to feel God among multitudes of people. We like the sensations we feel when there are a lot of people, but we hardly like to be alone with God in prayer. We will not add wisdom in our lives if we don’t pray; we should pray and meditate to be able to count our days. God has placed a business in our hands and one day we will be accountable for it of how well or how wrong we have managed it. We can say that we have had many temptations, but that will not be a good excuse since all temptations that come upon us are human. 1 Corinthians 10:13 If we don't take good care of our carnal body temptation will come to destroy us, but since these temptations are human we have to overcome them. These don't come to leave us standing or wounded but to kill us, but if we understand that we are administrators of our mortal body we will overcome them because we will rest completely in God. Each one will go before Christ's Tribunal. The day that we stand before the God who delivered us from sin we will stand just as we are and there will be no mistake when being judged. Everything we have done as administrators of God will be seen. To lean or depend on others to not do what we’re supposed to do is a great danger, because each person will be accountable before God. 1 Corinthians 12:27 We must understand that as the church we are a body. Some are hands, other arms, other fingernails, others are members that are not so decorous or the greatest, but they are very important parts; and we all will have to answer to God. Everything inside of us will be seen. God has placed His business in our hands and one day we will be accountable before God for them. Acts 13:39 In Moses' law there was no justification. In Jesus we are justified so that there is no condemnation. We will be able to go before the one who died for us and saved our soul and delivered us from evil. Then, we should be good stewards of the body that God has given us; each one should do the same. Jesus is the one who rescued us, that is why we must go before Him. Verse 38 Our forgiveness goes through our Lord Jesus. Some think that they can live their lives as a group or in groups, but we will all give account individually for what we did or did not do in Church. For this reason we have to add wisdom to our life counting our days because if God has placed us it is because someone is waiting for us. We will receive rewards for the work we have done for God who is on our side. It is not how much we have or have not believed but what our rewards are. Mathew 12:36 We will be accountable for every useless word that comes out of our mouth. Let us guard our lives, let us be good administrators. The only way it can be done is by adding wisdom and to make an effort and be careful how we live. To make an effort is to stop and to say that we will make it right to please the Lord to whom one day we must answer. It is easy to live as common people. But, in Heaven we will answer to the one who died for us. What we have comes from God and not from anyone else. As God’s people if we understand that as administrators we have to prepare our body for the business that the Father has given us, then we have to discipline our lives. By praying and reading the Word so that nobody deceives us, we will become good administrators of this body that is corruptible, because we don't know when our soul will be asked for. If we are spiritual negotiators of the Father we have to take care of our body because we will be accountable and will have rewards. From the hands of the Lord we will have the rewards and the wages. We must be diligent in the responsibility that God has given us as administrators because from his own hands we will have the reward. If we want our salary we must be diligent. The body is an inferior member to the soul and the

spirit, for such reason, when our body is taken away the soul goes to God. This judgment will be to reward the believers. Let us struggle to assure that the moment our soul is claimed we will be fulfilling our Father’s business. Christ's Tribunal will reveal our service to God exactly as it was. Everything we have done or not done will be spoken. There won't be any secrets. Everything will be published; there will be many or few rewards. There won't be excuses, no buts or frauds, but the exact truth. Spurgeon said: "to get tired, to die in God and that we resuscitate in God." We sometimes do things in obedience and then we love to do them with all our strength. It should be in us to do things with quality, to wear ourselves away. Let us think of what motivated us to do things; that reason should be because of LOVE. There are things that are necessary to leave and enter in the Father's business. Let us wake up and leave what is common. Each one is responsible for the business that the Father has placed in his hands and we will be accountable in Christ's Tribunal. We will have rewards or loss. We have not worked in vain. In Heaven we will have rewards, eternal life will follow. In God there are no losses. Let us be good administrators of God. Let us take care of our stewardship. We have a precise time, only one life. Let us take advantage of the love and the great opportunity we have been given. Amen.
