"STEWARDSHIP of the GOSPEL!"

The Holy Spirit has entrusted each Believer with "stewardship" (care taking) of the Gospel of the KOG (Kingdom of God) (1 Cor. 9:17). We are to DEFEND the Gospel (by becoming astute readers of the Word of God so that we have the ability to RECOGNIZE and CORRECT ERROR in the administration, dispensation or teaching of the Perfect Law of Liberty (Gal. 2:7) (Acts 15:1-21).

God's stewardship marks us as ministers of the Gospel (Col 1:25) and as such, we have been APPROVED by God and conversely we are to be COMMITTED to that same Gospel that was entrusted to each of us from the foundation of the world (Titus 1:3).



Stewardship is ("sar") in Hebrew, #8269 (Strong's Concordance) and is defined as a head person of any rank or class; a captain (ruler ship); chief; general, governor, keeper, lord, task master, prince, principal ruler, steward. It denotes the ability to exercise dominion. In the Greek, the word is translated "epitropos" #2012 or "full power."  I love that! That delineates the fact that we have been given the same power (not a diluted version) from God that He gave to Christ. THE VERY SAME POWER TO REIGN, RULE AND DESTROY THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS! 

Wow! You have to be dead to miss that! The question remains, "Do you want the power?" And, if He gave it to you what would you do with it?

God has given us PERMISSION to TRANSFER that same power and AUTHORITY. It is a LICENSE to DOMINATE in the marketplace paid in full by the sacrifice of Jesus on Golgotha...Selah!
