One of the critical thing that is lacking in our present time is the issue of stewardship. This is not a new word but something that has been there for a while now.
Who is a steward? This is anyone that manages, takes care, keeps, oversees, controls resources and other things entrusted in her hands by organisation or individuals. The key word here for me is managing resources.
The Bible says in first Peter 4:10. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.
All of us under the surface of the earth has been endowed with numerous gifts and potential. Whatever gifts we have today are not for our selfish gain but to expand the kingdom of God and to help others in need. We need to be good stewards so that we would be able to make impacts in the lives of others.
The greatest investment is not in having plenty money but how much have we invested in the life's of people. I used to tell people that human capital development is the best.
We would be required to give account of everything we have done.

I want to share an attribute of a good steward using the acronym FARMS.
F= Stands for faithfulness
A=Accountability
R=Responsibility
M=Management
S=Selflessness.
When these factors are in place, I believe one would be a good steward. I pray that the Lord would find us worthy and committed to whatever he has given unto our hands.
Thanks so much for reading through.
