The kingdom doesn't exist in talk but in power

Not talk but power

a)

The steward … was the master’s deputy in regulating the concerns of the family, providing food for the household, seeing it served out at proper times and seasons, and in proper quantities. He received all the cash, expended what was necessary for the support of the family, and kept exact accounts, for which he was obliged at certain times to lay before the master.” (Clarke)

And stewards of the mysteries of God: What did Paul and the other apostles “manage” in the household of God? Among other things, they were stewards of the mysteries of God. They “managed” (in the sense of preserving and protecting) and “dispensed” (in the sense of distributing) the truth of God.

It is required in servants that one be found faithful: For stewards, the important thing was faithfulness. They had to be efficient managers of the master’s resources. A steward never owned the property or resource he dealt with; he simply managed it for his master and had to manage it faithfully.

We have to be people that know what we are called to in this world, you see other people’s views of us doesn’t matter. What i mean is that we won’t walk around wounded & hurt by others, that’s not a call for us to be arrogant but for us to get in our Bibles to know who we are & to spend time before God speaking with Him, listening to Him. What’s important is how God sees us & because we know how He sees us we can then be that light in our world, so that people see Jesus in us, not arrogance but Jesus.
