Re-Imagine Stewardship

Day 1:

  • Pray that your delight will be in the law of the Lord and in His law, you will develop a hunger and meditate on it day and night (Psalm 1:1-3)
  • Ask the Lord to help you to surrender to His Will and purpose | Proverbs 19:21.
  • Pray that you may willingly submit to the work of the Holy Spirit in your life – even on those occasions when you do not understand | Romans 8:28
  • Pray that all that is of you may decrease and all that is of Christ may increase – until He is all in all in your life | John 3:30; Gal. 2:20; Phil. 1:21
  • Ask the Lord to enable and equip you to fulfil the plan and purpose that He has for you and to use each gift and talent that He has graciously given to you, to His praise and glory.
  • Ask the Holy Spirit to help you to fulfil all that the Lord would have you do in your life and to be obedient to His voice as you seek to carry out His purpose for your life | 2 Tim. 1:9; 4:7-8; Rom. 12:2
  • Trust the Lord for the spiritual attitude to worship Him with our resources, and not to become a slave to what HE has blessed you with. (Deut. 8:18; Exodus 31:1-3)

  • Ask the Holy Spirit to help you this season to learn to quietly wait upon the Lord and to rest in His love | Psalms 62:5-7; Lamentations 3:26; Psalms 46:10
  • Ask the Lord for the courage and wisdom to be still and to wait quietly, patiently, and expectantly knowing that His timing is perfect and that He know the plans that He has purposed for your life, even though you may not! | Psalms 46:10; Jeremiah 29:11; Heb. 6:12-15; 10:36
  • Give thanks for the wealth and riches you have been blessed with. Receive great grace for stewardship and enablement to abide in righteousness.
  • Thank the Lord for bringing you out of negative stewardship experience and for bringing you into an enlarged place flowing with milk and honey.
  • Thank the Lord for supplying all your needs according to His riches in glory. Thank Him for blessing you in the city and in the land; for blessing the fruit of your body and for increasing the produce of your ground. 

Day 3: Prov. 11:24-25; Mal.3: 9-12; Matt. 6:24-27; Acts 9:36-42; 1 Cor. 9:11-14; Matt. 5:24; Acts 20:35; Phil. 2:13; Heb. 10:16)
  • Pray for the boldness not to conform to this world, but to be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what the will of God is.
  • Pray for a fresh fill of the Spirit of God and that, you will walk by the Spirit, and will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
  • Pray for wisdom and a generous attitude towards stewardship of your life, time, talents and treasure.                  
  • Trust the Holy Spirit to help you this season, to be willing and to faithfully obey His instructions concerning Stewardship in every area of your life.                                                      
  • Thank the Lord for your core stewardship— (your life, time, talents, and treasure) which HE has blessed you with.
  • Thank God for making you the Head and not the tail - above and not beneath.
