내용 [VictoryATL] Novembe, 2017 26. SIMPLIFY: Faithfulness [Pastor Dennis Rouse]
Two Economies: 1. World’s Economy 2. God’s Economy
Luke 16:10-13 NLT
“If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities. And if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with the true riches of heaven? And if you are not faithful with other people’s things, why should you be trusted with things of your own? No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.”

3 Important Things to Settle:

1. God is the owner; I am the manager.

3 Levels of Control:

1. Top Level: God is in control of all possessions.
2. Middle Level: You’re in control of possessions.
3. Bottom Level: Possessions are in control of you.

Luke 16:13 NLT
“No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the
other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot
serve God and be enslaved to money.”

2. God’s economy operates on trust.
• You learning to TRUST GOD
• God learning to TRUST YOU

Luke 16:11-12 NLT
“And if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with the true riches of heaven? And if you are not faithful with other people’s things, why should you be trusted with things of your own?

3. God’s blessings are connected to our faithfulness.

3 Areas of Faithfulness That Affect Finances:

1. Faithfulness in our work

Colossians 3:23-24 NCV
In all the WORK you are doing, work the best you can. WORK as if
you were doing it for the Lord, not for people. Remember that you will receive your reward from the Lord, which he promised to his people. You are serving the Lord Christ.

Proverbs 12:24 NLT
Work hard and become a leader; be lazy and become a slave.

Questions to Answer:
• When I work, do I work as unto the Lord or unto men?
• When I work, am I faithful to be on time and work with excellence?
• When I work, am I always trying to improve myself?

2. Faithfulness in our use of time

Ephesians 5:15-16 NKJ
See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,
redeeming the TIME, because the days are evil.
