Stewardship and Servanthood Part 2

Understanding Servanthood
Today’s Focus: Stewardship and Servanthood Part 2
Scripture: Matthew 24:46-51; 23:11,12

Greetings Kingdom Citizens
Let’s wrap this series up with these scriptures:

Matthew 24:46,47: Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, that he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

So the benefit of being a servant and being a good watchman or father over God’s household the Lord will give him increased responsibility and this is represented by making him ruler over all the Lord’s goods. So we must learn how to be good steward over the Lord’s things, especially His children. On the other hand what happens when you have father or overseer abusing the flock and fleecing them for selfish gain? Let’s take a look.

Matthew 24:48-51: But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall BEGIN TO SMITE HIS FELLOWSERVANTS, AND TO EAT AND DRINK WITH THE DRUNKEN; THE LORD OF THAT SERVANT SHALL COME IN A DAY WHEN HE LOOKETH NOT FOR HIM AND IN AN HOUR THAT HE IS NOT AWARE OF, AND SHALL CUT HIM ASUNDER AND APPOINT HIM HIS PORTION WITH THE HYPOCRITES: THERE SHALL BE WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH.

The evil servant will begin to beat and smite their fellowservants. Weird isn’t it. The father or overseer of the house is still referred as a servant and they begin to abuse their fellow brothers and sisters. Now the Lord will not have that and He lays out the punishment for such a servant. They will be cut in two and be given the portion that the hypocrites would have gotten and nothing about weeping and gnashing of teeth say peaceful or heaven.


Matthew 23:11,12: But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whoseoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

So if we desire to be great in the Kingdom we must go the opposite route of up and become the lowest of the low and serve all because this is what Jesus did. Whoseoever will exalt himself (self-exaltation) shall be brought down. So it is best to assume the low position of servanthood and allow the Lord to exalt you in due season.

In closing on this series, we see that servanthood should be the heart and principal of every son because it is the heart of the Father. We are called to represent, deputize and be an agent on behalf of God so that as we serve Him, those who see Him can say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord. However this requires you to submit like the donkey and lose self-identity and be covered in the anointing and allow the King to ride upon you wherever He desires to go. Being a servant is the highest calling of being in creation and in serving Him we reflect the glory of God within the Earth.

Peace, Love and Grace from the Father,
