When the possessor of heaven and earth brought you into being and placed you in this world, He placed you here not as owner but as a steward.
- John Wesley
ONE day, John Wesley’s house burned down to the ground.
Some people found him and said, “John, we are so sorry to tell you this, but your house just burned to the ground.”
John Wesley said,
“That’s impossible.”
“No, John!
Your house burned to the ground.”
“That’s impossible!” “John, we saw it with our own eyes.
Your house is gone!”
—John Wesley
“That’s impossible.
You see, I don’t own a house.
God gave me a place to live in.
I only managed that house for Him.
If He didn’t put the fire out, then that’s His problem.
He’ll have to put me somewhere else.”
That man understood.
He understood that he could have something and use something without possessing it.
He didn’t hold on to it so tightly that when it went down he went down too.
Some of us would lose our minds if we lost our houses or cars.
We are to possess nothing.

Work to support yourself and your family.

God does not have a welfare program so Christians can sit around and do nothing while God sends in the money.
God doesn’t work that way and expects us to work and do our best when we are working.

House work
God expects us to take care of our care, house, apartment, and our possessions.
Guys if your married God expects us to be the leader of the home.
That means paving the way for others in your home to follow.
Your children are watching.
That means helping with the cleaning, laundry, and whatever else that needs to be done.

We should never be forced to give.
It should come out of a heart of love and devotion to God.
He promises to supply all our needs.

Stewardship is the “use of God-given resources for the accomplishment of God-given goals.”
—Ron Blue, Master Your Money
Faithfulness is a major characteristic of being a good manager for God.
“That’s impossible.”
“No, John!
Your house burned to the ground.”

Your house is gone!”
THERE are some wives who get an anniversary present every year.
Their husband comes home from work, takes his wife out to dinner, gives her a great gift, and makes a to-do about that special day.
But that’s it.
The wife doesn’t hear from him for the rest of the year.
“That’s impossible.
You see, I don’t own a house.
God gave me a place to live in.
I only managed that house for Him.
The husband doesn’t regularly do any dinners, no dating, or romances, but she can count on it—on the next anniversary, he’s going to be there with a great present and a nice dinner and he’s going to wine and dine her, yet practically say, “Okay, love you!
I will see you again next year.”
If He didn’t put the fire out, then that’s His problem.
He’ll have to put me somewhere else.”
Any woman I know would gladly trade in an annual anniversary day for a consistent 364 days a year that were faithful and consistent and full of communication, even if it only included McDonald’s.
She’s looking for something ongoing rather than just one big thing a year.
That man understood.
He understood that he could have something and use something without possessing it.
He didn’t hold on to it so tightly that when it went down he went down too.
Some of us would lose our minds if we lost our houses or cars.
We are to possess nothing.
Some of us get happy because we do one big thing for God a year.
We say, “Boy, on November 26, I did a biggie for God.
I know heaven was applauding because I did a whopper for God!”
I know heaven was applauding because I did a whopper for God!” We’ve got those two or three things a year we do for God.
At the judgment seat, God is not going to want to know only about November 26.
He’s going to want to know about what you did every day over the course of your life.
He’s going to ask you, “Did you live a life of faithfulness to Me?” God is not concerned about the occasional biggies you do.
He’s concerned about the consistent obedience that you give.
He wants to know whether or not we can be faithful.
The definition of faithfulness is consistently giving God your best in what He calls you to do.
