If He’s coming back, how should I live now?
In the stewards life; readiness is not passive. Living every day, every dollar, every gift as if it belongs to Him (because it does).
The Principle of Stewardship
“The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” – Psalm 24:1
Nothing is yours—your time, money, and talents all belong to Him. Readiness means stewarding what He has given.
The Three Pillars of Stewardship
Time
Redeem the time, because the days are evil (Ephesians 5:16).
Evaluate: How are you spending your 24 hours?
Treasure
Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven (Matthew 6:20).
Evaluate: Is your money serving Kingdom purposes or personal comfort?
Talent
As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another (1 Peter 4:10).
Evaluate: Are your skills being used to build up the Church or your own brand?
Your Mission Is Others
True stewardship isn’t just about you being ready—it’s about helping others prepare. Evangelism and discipleship are the ultimate forms of stewardship, because they store eternal treasures, not temporal ones.
