Stop the Waste

(Matthew 14:20 NKJV)“So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.”

Walking in abundance is not synonymous to being wasteful. God is very particular about stewardship. He expects you to manage the resources available to you wisely. The law of faithfulness states, ‘If you are faithful in little, much will be committed into your hands.’ This is the principle guiding divine promotion.

God is looking for distribution centers all around the world. It will be a shame if you are responsible for wasting resources meant for others. You must realize that whatever God has blessed you with is not just for you.

Are you interested in a life of excellence? Then you must learn to start from where you are. You need to learn how to effectively manage the gifts, talents and resources that God has endowed you with. Make sure there is no room for waste.

If Jesus made sure that the disciples effectively managed what was left after the feeding of the multitudes, you can be sure He is watching how you manage His provisions in your life. You are blessed to be a good steward of God’s blessings.
