Can the Lord Trust You With More?
Remember, discipline is the key to proper management. You cannot be effective, efficient, correct, timely and beneficial to others if you do not apply consistent effort. The Lord gives you the grace to live a disciplined life if you ask for it. If you manage your resources well, the Lord of heaven and earth will trust you with more. King Jesus made this statement: He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in what is another man’s, who will give you what is your own?
God will give you not so much what you pray for, but what you can actually manage. By the way, that's called wisdom. Dr. Munroe called it "management of prayer". For example: You pray for the Lord to give you a new job, but you are not being excellent in your current job--coming in late, taking a two hour lunch break and leaving work early. Have you lied when you called in sick? Now, can you really manage a new job? If you don't have integrity in your current job, why should God promote you to a better one? What I am sharing with you are Kingdom principles. Many religions have Kingdom principles but fail to live by them. Here is another example: You want a house, but you fail to take care of the apartment where you currently live. What about the new car you are praying for? But yet, you fail to keep up the maintenance of the one you presently have.
Diligence is another key to proper management. By the way, diligence means consistent effort as well. With both discipline and diligence, you can become effective, efficient, correct and timely.
God's Constitution is not a religious book, but a legal document. Christianity and other religions make it out to be religious down through the centuries, but from the beginning it was not so. Testament is a legal term.
Luke 16:10-12
