A joint wing meeting was held on Saturday 19th September at the Apewosika Church of Pentecost for all wings in PENSA-UCC. The meeting was attended by various wings of PENSA UCC which are the Fountain of Joy(FOJ), Evangelism, Prayer Force, Organising and the Bible Study Wing. The travelling secretary(TS) Rev. Emmanuel Agyei Kwafo was there to touch on "A STEWARD WITH A DIFFERENCE".
He said a steward is someone who manages another person’s property which is not his. What you do or take care of that is not your own but another person who would demand accountability from you one day.
“For it is as when a man, about to take a journey, got his servants together, and gave them his property” Matthew 25:14 (BBE). He added that not all servants are stewards, stewards are those tasked with the property of the master and from whom accountability is required whether they have been detailed about their role or not, stewards are workers who have no excuse but are required to carry the task given them whether they think they can attain results or not. Their destiny is always one of two options: reward or punishment.
As Christians we are all stewards of God, life, natural gifts and talents, families and every opportunity that comes our way in this life and once we are alive, we are stewards of God and the world will demand of us good accountability, whether we think we have been resourced or not. Touching on the stewardship of Daniel, he said Daniel was a steward of God who was committed to pleasing Him all the days of his life and we must also seek to please God in all aspect of our lives
“Then these men said, We will only get a reason for attacking Daniel in connection with the law of his God.” Daniel 6: 5 (BBE).
1 He said Daniel was a steward who was faithful to God in times of crises (captivity) and a period where he had every reason to doubt God and we must remain very faithful to Christ irrespective of how we are influenced and tempted by false religions and heresies. On how to to be a steward with a difference we must first set out to be above all our peers everywhere and in every situation in life. We must also live on earth as a standard for all other people in politics, commerce, social life, marriage, education etc. (Daniel 1:8; 2:46-48; 6:3, Hebrews 1:9), not been negligent or corrupt in any activity under your care under the sun, no matter how small it may seem in your eyes or in the eyes of others and making use of every opportunity instead of complaining. Those who complain are spectators in life, stewards with a difference make great impact out of every opportunity. Matthew 25: 24,25.
In conclusion he said the Bible is the true Word of God and all its record must be believed without doubt and as Christians we are supposed not to be mere stewards but those with a difference for the world to know that we are here to make a difference. He also took time to clarify and address doctrinal issues of members.
