We Are Called To Faithful Stewardship

Posted on September 13, 2026 by bibleteacherorg

1 Corinthians 4:1-4 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and STEWARDS {oikonomos} of the MYSTERIES {mysterion} of God. 2 Moreover it is required in STEWARDS {oikonomos}, that A MAN BE FOUND FAITHFUL. 3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. 4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but HE THAT JUDGETH ME IS THE LORD.

Word Study: A “STEWARD” , the Greek oikonomos, means “someone appointed or commissioned to manage household affairs”. The steward was appointed by the owner, the head of the house, or the proprietor to manage his affairs, to take care of receipts and expenditures, and to even pay other staff members.

The “steward” is accountable to the owner, and to no one else. The steward owns nothing, but manages what is entrusted to him for the owner. What Are God’s servants “stewards” of?

Word Study: God’s ministers are “STEWARDS “OF THE MYSTERIES OF GOD”. What is a “MYSTERY” in the Scripture? This is the Greek mysterion, which means a divine truth somewhat hidden in ages past, but now revealed or exposed by the Holy Spirit of God. It is called “MYSTERIES” or “MYSTERIOUS” because it cannot be solved by human logic, human philosophy, or human wisdom. The “MYSTERIES” are the Kingdom principles …

The “MYSTERIES” can only be revealed to us when we give our lives to Jesus in salvation. The “Mysteries” belong to every follower of Christ…. Continue reading →

God Wants Whole Men

Ecclesiastes 1:1-2 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. [2] Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

King Solomon, the son of King David, was a saved believer. The Bible says that:

1 Kings 3:3 And Solomon LOVED THE LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: …

He loved the Lord. He was a believer in the Lord, saved by faith in the coming Jesus Christ. But the Bible tells us that – though Solomon was saved – he had an area of weakness. When we read the rest of 1 Kings 3:3 we see that:

1 Kings 3:3 … only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.

Solomon loved the Lord, but he compromised with the ways of the world. He loved the Lord, but he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places. He tolerated the false gods in his lifestyle and in his actions.

Solomon was tolerant to other religions. I don’t mean that Solomon was tolerant in the sense that he had a live and let live mentality toward the unbelievers of the faith. Christians ought to be kind, and ought to show love toward all people. Our standard should be what Jesus said:

Matthew 5:44-45 NKJV – … LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, 45 “that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

Loving your enemies doesn’t mean to justify what the lost do. It doesn’t mean to go along with the gods of this world, sacrificing to that which is not the God of the Bible. Loving your enemies means to… Continue reading →
