*New Covenant Church Iju.*
*Bible Study Outline*
18th May 2021
Theme: *Stewardship*
Sub-theme
*Living as stewards*


When we think of stewardship,
does taking care of the environment come to mind? Does managing an estate come to mind?
These and much more are parts of what it means to be a steward. But they don't paint a complete picture of the biblical stewardship meaning.
In short: Biblical stewardship is one of the primary ways *Christ calls us to live our life.*
It’s a theme in the Bible you can trace from Genesis to Revelation. It’s a *calling rooted in creation* , highlighted throughout the Bible, and *influences* the way you live your life for the glory of God.
In this Study, we're going answer some common questions and highlight the big themes of what it means to be a steward


In the Bible, stewardship is another way of talking about how you live your life. In the New Testament books, the word “steward” is rooted in the Greek word “oikonomos,” which means “the manager of a household."
Has someone ever asked you to watch their kids? Are you responsible for managing an office or people on behalf of an employer? Do you have a financial advisor overseeing your investments? If you answered yes to any of these three questions, then you are or have been a steward.
In general, to steward is to manage something on someone’s behalf. Whether a family member, friend, or employer asks you to watch over something, then you're stewarding—managing—whatever they entrusted to your care.
If you were a steward in Ancient Greek culture, you were not the owner of the house. Instead you would have been the manager of the house and the household affairs. From making sure the home was clean to managing the finances and perhaps servants, you would have managed everything on behalf of the owner.

Stewardship in the Bible has to do with understanding that your life is not your own. *Your life is on loan from God—* regardless if you acknowledge this or not—and God calls you to steward everything about your life for his glory and the good of others.
To help you see the duties of a steward in the Bible, let’s look at Biblical texts on stewardship that will give you a better idea of what biblical stewardship means.

The Bible has a lot to say about stewardship, but here are seven big themes emphasized in biblical texts on stewardship:
1. *Christ created everything*
It Bible begins with the very first verse.
We see in this passage that Christ is the creator of everything: He created the universe, the planet, and he created you. There’s not one particle in the entire world that was not created by Christ.
This is the beginning of all biblical stewardship principles.
This theme is picked up in the New Testament. In Colossians, we read, “For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth… all things were created through him and for him” (Col. 1:15-16).
The foundation of stewardship is built upon this reality.
Genesis 1:1: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”

2. *Christ owns everything*
Not only did Christ create everything; Christ owns everything ( Job 41:11; 1 Tim. 4:3-5). This is the beginning of all biblical stewardship principles.
Your life is on loan from Christ. He has given you your life to steward for his glory and your good.
As the owner of everything, God desires for all things to be redeemed (Col. 1:20), including people, governments, businesses, and the arts. Said another way: God desires for everything to bring him glory (1 Cor. 10:31).
Psalm 24:1: "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein."
3. *Christ delegates responsibility*
Christ calls us to manage what he created on his behalf.
If you haven’t noticed, you do not see the individual members of the Trinity farming, building houses, or preaching the gospel. But, if you look with the eyes of faith, you can see God meeting the needs of people, drawing them to himself in faith, and tending to his creation through billions of people around the world.
This theme of participating in God’s work is picked up by Paul in his first letter to the church at Corinth: “For we are God’s fellow workers… “ (1. Cor. 3:9). Elsewhere, Paul mentions that we are “working together with him… “ (2 Cor. 6:1). God is at work in your life and around the world, and you have the privilege of participating in his work.
Just look through the books of the bible to see many people that Christ has delegated responsibility to.
When Jesus builds his church, he does so through our participation in his work by preaching the gospel.
When you eat your bread and tea for breakfast, Christ provided it for you through the work of farmers, bakers, truck drivers, and grocery stores.
We could go on about gratitude and thanksgiving in the Bible. But get the point.
Genesis 1:26-28:
"Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.'
So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
And God blessed them. And God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.'”

The Reverend of New Covenant Church- Iju Center has led special tributes to Pastor Sam Afolabi, as he celebrates another birthday in the land of the living today, Wednesday 19th of May 2021.

Committee leaders, members and New Covenant frontliners especially the "stewardship" wife of Reverend Bajomo all join in wishing this likable Pastor, gentleman, husband, father and stylish gentleman "a very happy birthday".

Incidentally, he shares the same birth month with his resourceful wife, Dorcas, who clocked a year older just days earlier on the 17th.

Following his interesting role in New Covenant[/i]affairs, its no surprise that the tributes keep pouring for Pastor Sam from all angles on his special day.

Rev. K.O. Bajomo: As you add another year today, our heartfelt prayer is that the Lord will make you to stand perfect in all the will of God and experience the abundance of peace and divine goodness. Happy birthday to you sir.

Mr. Patrick Okon: Happy birthday to you our prudent Manager in God's kingdom, be blessed as you lifted up, May your ministry announced you on Earth and in Heaven ,

Yemisi Bajomo: Happy birthday to you sir. May the good Lord continue to uphold and bless you. May he cause his face to shine upon you and bless you from Zion.

Whereas Government refused to sponsor this one

https://www.nairaland.com/6560530/healed-pregnancy-problems-own-herbal

Funmilola Lawrence Ogidan is a traditional doctor with a difference and without condemning western medical drugs, she has proffered herbal remedies as nature’s
safest cure for most human ailments.

In a chat with press men in Lagos on Monday, she explained that while synthetic medical
drugs almost always produce side effects in patients, herbal remedies have no side
effect.

“I have tried and tested both western and herbal medicines and I can tell you
categorically that God has provided us with every single herb we need for our good
health. The herbs that we have all around us will do us a whole lot of good work when
we treat them right. Herbal medicines perform healing miracles in us.

“We haven’t reached that stage where western medicine would be totally replaced by
herbal remedies for all ailments. Having alternatives helps us all. I believe that most
western medicines originate from our own local herbs but with a lot of synthetic
processes that deplete nature and produce side effects” Lawrence-Ogidan said.

Lawrence-Ogidan is a traditional doctor (TDR). Arguably, she has the largest health
farm and NAFDAC-certified factory for the production of herbal remedies in Southwest
Nigeria. She is a well-travelled tour operator, special education and entrepreneurship
graduate and an indigene of Ile-Ife, Osun State.

She is the CEO of Global New Herbal Life (GNHL); a certified member of both the
Nigeria Association of Medical Herbalists and National Association of Nigerian Traditional Medicine Practitioners.

Her passion for herbal remedies grew when she had to heal her protracted barreness
with herbs after western medical methods had failed her.

“I had serious hormonal disorder that stopped me from getting pregnant for many
years. I did IVF severally. I was given different injections daily, but the minute I started
using my own herbs, everything started going back to normal. To the glory of God, I
had my own baby. It was normal delivery even at that age. There were no issues or
complications at all with the pregnancy or after the delivery” she said.

TDR Lawrence-Ogidan has produced over 70 tried and tested ready-to-drink and ready to-rub herbal remedies with stunning testimonials, details of which she shared in her press Interview

Trained as a traditional herbal doctor by experts, including 90 and 100-year-olds,
Lawrence-Ogidan says her trainers have entrusted ancient herbal secrets to her and
that mixed with science, her company GNHL has successfully elevated the production
precision of nature’s herbal remedies, which she categorized into three – sex, health
and beauty products.

Hear her: “Unlike before when I used to suffer from malaria and fever often, we now
have a one-time herbal cure and with our modern factory equipment and attending
technology, we are able to do a lot of toxicology tests to ensure that our herbal
remedies come in the right dosage. So now we produce in safe quantities and with
NAFDAC-approved scientific quality that can be sold without reducing the component of
herbs that we use.”

Asked if her Fever remedy can cure COVID-19, her carefully weighed words were:
“COVID-19 and its many variants have further opened our eyes to the limitations of
western medicine. A whole lot of people went back to ginger, garlic and other herbs.

I believe that herbal remedies would get us farther going forward"

New Covenant Church Worldwide

Dearly Beloved,

Warm greetings!

I’m sending you a story I find totally inspiring. It can transform our marriages, our children and the way we walk with God I know it will bless you richly.

It reminds me that LOVE NEVER FAILS and that love COVERS a multitude of sins.

May God bless you and inspire as we journey together.


Imagine you are a young bride not yet twenty years old. Your husband is in the elite SAS. He is away fighting. How you miss him.

How you pray for him to be safe. Your father is in same that regiment. You are praying for him too.

You are very devout. You love and worship your God with all your heart, your mind and your strength.

You are high born; your grandfather is the King’s Counsellor. That’s why your house is so close to the Palace. You feel lonely but hopefully the war will soon be over and the two men you love will be back home safe and sound.



You have just finished your monthly cycle so in obedience to the law given through Moses* you have taken your ritual cleansing bath. It’s late and you prepare to settle down for the night. Suddenly a frantic banging on the gate of your compound shatters the peace. Your heart beats faster. You send your security man to discover what is happening. He comes back with an astonishing message,

“The King wants to see you NOW!”



The King! Surely he is in Rabbah fighting with his men. You had no idea he was in Jerusalem. It must be bad news – is it your father? Is it your husband? What has happened? You dress hurriedly and the King’s bodyguards accompany you to the King’s private chambers………



You may have guessed by now that we are talking about Bathsheba, she who was stunningly beautiful both inside and out. Her husband was Uriah. Her father Eliab and her grandfather Ahithophel, confident and counselor to King David.



What is so shocking about this rape is that King David was revered and admired by all Israel as a ‘man after God’s own heart;’ the hero of heroes, giant killer, the man who danced before the ark, the man who worshipped God continually, the one anointed and set apart by the prophet Samuel. At this time David was at least twenty-five years older than Bathsheba. He had many wives and nineteen sons.



After the King has satisfied himself you are sent away like a common woman. You are distraught, defiled, betrayed, humiliated and confused. This is the worst day of your young life; your beauty prostituted.


Can you begin to image her distress?



It gets worse. Next month you miss your period. This is really worrying but hopefully it will come next time. You are sick and nauseous. This is a disaster. The penalty for adultery is death by stoning. You were innocent but who will believe you? How can you face Uriah, your father and your grandfather?

Everyone will believe that somehow you seduced the king. No one will believe that godly King David could fall so badly unless you had somehow tricked him.



You have no one to confide in. You are in shock. So many emotions bombard you as you run and rerun an action replay of the event.



You send a message to the king. “I am with child.”



He does not reply. Sometime later you hear that Uriah has been recalled from the battlefield and has been summoned to see the King. You are faint with relief. Now Uriah will come to you and you can relate the whole sordid story. Will Uriah believe you? All the troops held King David in high honour.

He had at least nineteen wives and many concubines why would he need someone else’s wife?



You wait all day for Uriah to come but he does not appear. This is dreadful. The king must have told him the truth and maybe your husband never wants to see you again. You do not sleep that night.

Another day! Perhaps he will come today. All day long, sick with anxiety you wait. He does not come.


Then you hear he has been sent back to the battlefield. You are desolate. To whom can you turn?

Agonizing days later the news comes that your beloved husband has been killed in battle. You are allowed seven days to mourn before the king’s bodyguards come to take you into the Palace.

You are to become the King’s twentieth wife.



This is part one of BATHSHEBA: AN EXERCISE IN FORGIVENESS



For many years I have been intrigued and inspired by the story of David and Bathsheba. The more I investigate it the more I more at the power of forgiveness. It’s an amazing tale of loss and devastation but it ends with outstanding rewards from God. It is a story that can inspire each one of us to never give up on our identity; to fight back and, like Job come through with a double blessing.




In part 2 we will discover how the Spirit of God helped and rewarded her and how she triumphed over adversity to become the beloved and honoured wife of David’s old age. And there is SO MUCH more…

We can read the first part of this story in 2 Samuel 11.

As change agents of Gracemade Christian Center, which consists mostly of vibrant youths, members are fond of eachother. So also are high ranking leaders amenable to the affairs of every member.

That's just how it is, even as Idorenyin Ekemini celebrates a year older today, it was lead Pastor Seun Osigbesan that led the forefront in sending her well wishes on her special day.

Born on the 14th of May 1998, in Akwa Ibom state, and this businesswoman is full of gratitude to God and thanks to the church and Pastor Osigbesan.

With hobbies including Singing, Hangouts, Dancing and largely inspired by her Son, Ekemini's best food is Rice and beans. And she would like to be widely known as a successful business woman.

23 hearty cheers for Idorenyin Ekemini

candidtalk:
Of course he does. All this 'fight to the death' talk na typical initial gra gra of the Nigerian cowardly political class.

If serious yawa gas, best believe FFK will be on the next available private jet out of Nigeria lol.

But at least he's voicing out what most of our political leaders wont. Give him dat. What's he upto is risky

Blackfire:
Even FK have plan B.

This lady's testimony similar to Naijas situation

https://www.nairaland.com/6552102/because-people-frustrate-businesswoman-juliphils

As a businesswoman making cool money through supplying Indomie and Spaghetti, Juliet Okorie certainly misses the days of being an active accountant- though it has been mostly an interesting adventure.

Comfortably married to Philip Okorie, with a son above 10 years old, Juliphils as she's fondly addressed in her circles, has a lot of reasons to be thankful to God, especially for the gift of life over her household.

Whilst discussing her daily routine and sometimes hectic duties as an Usher at Pastor Sam Adeyemi's Daystar Christian Center in this inspiring chat, the Sapele- Edo state born graduate accountant details the transition from her trained profession to businesswoman, and how she usually gets across to haughty parents through their children.

"From an accountant to a businesswoman, I had worked with some companies and I just took that decision so I would be able to take care of my family and have time for them, because when I worked I didn't have the time. I come home exhausted and I really dont have much time to take care of my husband but this business allows me to open when I want to since my business is on my phone, I can be at a point, do my supply, go home and rest when I want to. I have time for myself, to run things for my husband. But when I'm at the office, I dont have such time, business for me gives me time to run my family."

Juliet's idea of being successful involves just being fulfilled, and she paints a picture of someone going somewhere, although not yet there but working towards the peak you want to be. Different from just staying somewhere and expecting manna to fall from heaven. Her idea of success means having to climb the ladder and paying the price, not just staying in one place.

Discussing her relationship with God and biggest testimony of her life, she narrates her regular day at work and service in the house of God where she serves alongside Simi's mother

"Because people will frustrate you with, I don't want to sit here, this is where I must sit. I sit in front in my house, i have to sit there, you don't tell me where to sit. But with smiles, you have to make them understand that if everybody sits the way they want, there won't be orderliness in the house of God and everywhere will be chaos. So you have to deal with them with love. They call it Annex 1, have you ever been to Daystar, that's where you have the nursing mothers, its always noisy and the ushers don't like going there because it can be frustrating. Simi's Mum is our HOD. If I want to get to you, I'll get to you through your children. Once you're coming and I'm talking to the kids, you've given me audience already. Immediately the mother is getting to me and I'm able to tell them sit there, you do this and I'm good to go. I get what I want and I've worked there for 6 months"

EMMY76:
You have no idea what the fulanis have planned for u and the rest of nigerians in few months from now.

Like the discussion with my Reverend Kayode Bajomo and wife yesterday, they suggested a mass intercessory prayers for Nigeria, while I was adamant about a full blown war. But honestly, nothing wey God no fit do, so lets all go to Him for updates through prayers.

Biafranboys:
My Point is that he should stand in one place, if he wants yoruba nation let him stand on it, nigeria is not working and even 2023 would never make any difference, we are not going to join them to fight bokoharam, they created bokoharam so they should deal with it and bokoharam knows better than to come To the south east, they should ask their fulani brothers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxqEoK5gMCg

Haba. It was the likes of Lai Mohammed, El Rufai and their cohorts who brought in fulani herdsmen and sponsored Boko Haram.. watching this video will help you clarify things concerning the state of the nation

Biafranboys:
Ffk is confused as usual, we igbos are not Nigerians we are biafrans, I don't trust the man

FFK is the only politician across Nigeria that is voicing out the fears of every Nigerian. Even Osinbajo cant say anything out of fear. Give the man some respect if for that only


Where is lalasticlala when you need him. Boss show here o. Na Real matters (in Erigga's voice)

helinues:
Buhari has 2 years left, if he had agenda, he would have carried it out since...

We have survived 5 years +, we go survive the remaining 2 years +

More reason why we ought to tread carefully now, a lot can happen within 2 minutes, lest to talk of 2 years. The national power grid going off last night but coming back on this morning isn't something you should casually dismiss. Yorubas say "oru la'seka"

helinues:
Is it today FFK has been writing his epistle... This one won't be different from the previous ones

But you'll agree that this particular situation leaves not just room but but estate for concern

helinues:

You guys are losing sight of the bigger picture. If FFK Can run, can you. Person enjoying God's grace sotey wey fit run go anywhere in the world at last minute and thrive, dey give una prior notice, na mockery dey una mind. Kwantinue (in Buharis voice). I sha hope you can send your loved ones abroad for safety

Whereas this is happening ar the moment

WE WILL MEET THE BARBARIANS AT THE GATE: NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER, NO PLAN B! by Femi Fani-Kayode.

In 1842 Thomas Babington Macauly wrote my favourite poem titled 'Horatius at the Gate' and made a point that we can all learn from in Nigeria today. He wrote:

"Then out spake brave Horatius,
The Captain of the Gate:
“To every man upon this earth
Death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his gods,

“And for the tender mother
Who dandled him to rest,
And for the wife who nurses
His baby at her breast,
And for the holy maidens
Who feed the eternal flame,
To save them from false Sextus
That wrought the deed of shame?

“Haul down the bridge, Sir Consul,
With all the speed ye may;
I, with two more to help me,
Will hold the foe in play.
In yon strait path a thousand
May well be stopped by three.
Now who will stand on either hand,
And keep the bridge with me?”

Then out spake Spurius Lartius;
A Ramnian proud was he:
“Lo, I will stand at thy right hand,
And keep the bridge with thee.”
And out spake strong Herminius;
Of Titian blood was he:
“I will abide on thy left side,
And keep the bridge with thee.”

“Horatius,” quoth the Consul,
“As thou sayest, so let it be.”
And straight against that great array
Forth went the dauntless Three.
For Romans in Rome’s quarrel
Spared neither land nor gold,
Nor son nor wife, nor limb nor life,
In the brave days of old".

(HORATIUS AT THE BRIDGE, LAYS OF ANCIENT ROME by Thomas Babington Macauly, 1842)

Macauly's prose is beautiful and instructive. It is very long and I have just quoted a tiny portion of it above.

We, as Nigerians, must read his words carefully, learn from brave Horatius, the greatest of all Romans, and be inspired and guided by his courage and strength.

We must be proud of who and what we are and we must be ready to stand for something, even at the cost of our lives.

Some, who I love and respect, have said they have seen what is coming to our country and that we must have a plan B.

I have seen what is coming to our country as well and I have been saying so for the last few months and years. However for me there is NO plan B.

We may evacuate our women and children but for those of us that are men I say again there is and can be NO plan B.

There is no running. There is no surrender. There is no capitulation. There is no escape. We have no other country. We have nowhere to go and even if we did we choose not to go.

When and if the battle finally comes we stay here and either FIGHT and WIN or FIGHT and DIE. We are Nigerians! We are lions! We do not run from the battle. We do not buckle before the enemy. We are not cowards. We are warriors. We are fighters.

We are men and women of strength and faith. We do not flinch in the face of danger. We do not run for our lives when the enemy is at our gate. We go out and meet them head on in glory and in power.

Boko Haram or any other terrorist organisation will NEVER fly its flag over Abuja and neither will they ever take Lagos, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Kaduna, Jos, Ibadan, Sokoto, Awka, Maiduguri or any of our other major cities.

Every Christian will fight them. Every Muslim will fight them. Every Southerner will fight them. Every Northerner will fight them. Every Middle Belter will fight them. Every Nigerian will fight them.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxqEoK5gMCg

They think they are dividing us but they are actually bringing us closer together. We are not Malians, Chadians, Nigeriens, Taurags, Berbers or Arabs: we are NIGERIANS! And we will stand and fight for our motherland against these strange aliens and foreign invaders and their western backers.

Our God is mighty and He will NEVER abandon us. We will fight to the last man to preserve our nation and deliver her from the hands of these foreign barbarians that have come from a distant land to destroy us all and take our women, children, treasure and land.

Like great Horatius, we must stand at the gate and hold the bridge. Like gallant Horatius, we must fight and win or we must fight and die!

May God have mercy on our nation and our people and may He cause us to fight a good fight!

Let me conclude with this. Some are saying that the fight is and must be between ourselves and not between us and those foreigners from outside our shores that have invaded our land. How wrong they are.

Some of us are planning on how to kill our brothers and compatriots whilst the stranger from a distant land that hates us all is hiding in the forests, mountains and plains of our country and is preparing to slaughter us all to the last man, woman and child. This is short-sighted and absurd.

There is no doubt that are major differences between us as a people which still need to be resolved. That battle still needs to be fought and that mountain still needs to be removed. I, more more than anyone else, is aware of this and have spoken about these differences, injustices and inequalities over the last five years.

And be rest assured that that mountain will be removed, that valley will be levelled, that fight will be fought and that injustice will be set aside but NOT today.

Today, we MUST come together as one to face down and fight the foreign foe and their relentless sponsors in the international community who have come to wipe us all off the face of the earth, turn our nation into a cauldron of fire and turn our women and children into chattel and slaves.

They say they will use planes and chemical weapons to exterterminate us. They say they will bomb us from the air and crush us from the land and sea. They say they have all the wealth, weapons, power and strength that satan has given them and they are baying for our blood.

They may indeed have all that but they do NOT have Almighty God who is just and merciful and perfect in all His ways.

They do not have God the Great or the Living God who is mighty in battle and who cannot be resisted. They do not have the Ancient of Days or the Lord of Hosts who created and controls the universe.

They do not have the Elohim or the El Shaddai who forges the destiny of nations, who wields all power in heaven and on earth and who rules in the affairs of men.

They do not have the Adonai or the Lion of the Tribe of Judah who created the sun, the moon and stars and who established the firmament before the creation of time.

They do not have the Man of War or the God of Abraham, Isaac, David and Jacob who is with us and who is our strong defender.



It is in His name and by His power that I rally and call on the sons of the East, the sons of the West, the sons of the Niger Delta, the sons of the Middle Belt and the sons of the North to muster your strength, to stir up your courage, to steel your nerve, to stand firm on the ramparts and to come together as one in your power and glory to defend our land and our nation and to uproot and usurp the barbarians that are at our gate.

This is the challenge of our time and we shall meet it head on. There is NO plan B! We stand and we fight and win or we stand and we fight and die!

Glory, honor and praise be unto the name of our God who has given us this great opportunity and herculean task to defend the honor of our nation and our people and bring them to a safer place.

We will never make peace with a savage and barbaric alien breed that feed fat on carnage and terror and that are committed to the mass murder, ethnic cleansing and genocide of our people and neither shall we bend the knee or bow, tremble and flee before them.

Victory is ours because our cause is righteous, our people are noble, our warriors are strong and our God is faithful!

Bible Study Series from May 11th 2021.

Theme: Stewardship
Texts: Matthew 25:14 - 30, Psalm 24:1, Mark 12:41- 44,

What is Stewardship?

Stewardship is defined as conducting, supervising, or managing of something especially the careful and responsibility management of something enthrusted to one's care.

A biblical world view of stewardship can be consciously defined as: "Utilizing and managing all resources God provides for the glory of God and the betterment of His creation."
[2] The central essence of biblical world view of Stewardship is managing everything God brings into the believer's life in a manner that honours God and impacts eternity.

Stewardship begins and ends with the understanding of God's ownership of all:
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End." (Revelation 22:13)
"The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it." (Psalm 24:1)
"To the Lord your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it." (Deuteronomy 10:14)
"The land must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine and you are but aliens and my tenants." (Leviticus 25:23)
"Who has a claim against me that I must pay? Everything under heaven belongs to me." (Job 41:11)

Stewardship is further supported and sustained theologically on the understanding of God's holiness as found in such verse as: Genesis 1:2, Psalm 104, Psalm 113, 1 Chronicles 29:10-20, Colossians 1:16, Rev. 1:8.

Who is a steward?

1. A person employed _to look after_ the passenger on a ship, aircraft or train.
2. An official appointed to _supervise_ arrangements or keep order at a large public event, for example a race, match, or demonstration.
3. A person employed to _manage another's_ property, especially large house or estate.
3. A steward is a person who manages another's property or financial affairs; an agent of another, a person who has charge of the household of another, buying or obtaining food, _directing_ the servants.

A good steward is accountable without prompting or prodding. A good steward believe in sustainability. They understand that they are building value not for themselves but for others.
