Stop the Waste

(Matthew 14:20 KJV) And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.


Walking in abundance is not synonymous with being wasteful. God is very particular about stewardship. He expects you to manage the resources available to you wisely.

The law of faithfulness states, 'if you are faithful in little, much will be committed into your hands.' This is the principle guiding God's kind of promotion.

God is looking for distribution centers all around the world. It will be a shame if you are responsible for wasting resources meant for others. You must realize that whatever God has blessed you with is not just for you.

Are you interested in excellence in life? Then you must learn to start from where you are. You need to learn how to effectively manage the gifts, talents and resources God has endowed you with. Make sure there is no room for waste.

If Jesus made sure that the disciples effectively managed what was left after feeding the multitudes, you can be sure He is watching how you manage His provisions in your life. You are blessed to be a good steward of God's blessings. Always be a blessing and you will not be a waste.
