Luke 16:12 And if you are not faithful with other people's things, why should you be trusted with things of your own?NLT

Recently, a man told us the story of how he got a landed property in Lagos. He was a tenant in Surulere area of Lagos years back, he was so nice to his landlord and he ensured that he served the interest of the man by protecting his property and living at peace. The landlord thought about how to repay him, the man bought him a plot of land in Lagos as a gift.

Some of us have been entrusted with other people's properties, businesses, kids and monies. We sometimes handle these things entrusted to us with an 'I don't care' attitude. If you have not handled your boss' business well, do not expect God to set-up yours for you because you shall reap what you sow.

God rewards faithfulness. If you are faithful in handling other people's things, you cannot miss God's largesse for your life, don't run a man's business or ministry down in other to set-up your own. You don't run others down and expect to run-up, it won't work. God is demanding faithfulness from you today.

Action point
  • Father from today, I will handle all that has been entrusted into my care properly In Jesus Name.
