Daily Bible Thought: "Who is the Faithful and Wise Steward?

Luke.12:41 Peter said to him, "Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?" 12:42 The Lord said, "Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?
12:43 Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes. 12:44 Truly I tell you, that he will set him over all that he has.

Please pay special attention here at Christ words, note, he did not tell Peter that because he was one of the apostles to take the other apostles and appoint themselves as the faithful servant over his belongings, or his household! In fact, years later the apostle Paul hand pick by Christ, under the same headship of Christ, having the Holy Spirit directing him as an apostle, stated: not to judge anything before its time, until the Lord comes. Moreover, even his own judgment for or against himself was meaningless in Christ!

1Cor.4:1 So let a man think of us as Christ's servants, and stewards of God's mysteries. 4:2 Here, moreover, it is required of stewards, that they be found faithful. 4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man's judgment. Yes, I don't judge my own self. 4:4 For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord. 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

Yet, false religion is founded upon declaring its leaders faithful servants of Christ, appointing members from within to be that servant and/or servants over the rest of their brothers and sisters, as feeding them spiritually. In other words, unlike the apostles of Christ they are self-appointed, or man appointed. We need not ask why because Christ gives us the answer? They cannot wait upon the masters glorification of them. They unlike Christ glorifies themselves while living in their corrupt flesh upon this earth.

Romans 8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.

Philip.2:5 Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,
2:6 who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, 2:7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. 2:8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross. 2:9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name;

This declaration of declaring themselves righteous before men, make them evil, not righteous. They assume legal right over the lives of others and demand compliance to their judgments upon earth. When ones rebel against their authority, they use the power of their position to destroy their opponents lives, and/or reputation. They seat themselves in the temple of Christ, as kings ruling, declaring their declaration are from the mouth of Christ.

Romans 12:17 Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.

2Tim.3:1 But know this, that in the last days, grievous times will come. 3:2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3:3 without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good, 3:4 traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; 3:5 holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof. Turn away from these, also. 3:6 For of these are those who creep into houses, and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 3:7 always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 3:8 Even as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so do these also oppose the truth; men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.

They create massive fleshly religious governments on earth and wheel power over their subjects. Many believe in false religion that Christ has returned unseen by human eye and appointed them as master over his belongings to do his work by pronouncing his judgments. Just as they have appointed themselves kings upon earth by self-approval, so they have appointed dates of Christ return, but why? Simply put, they would have no power if they did not appoint dates of the Christ invisible return. How convenient?

Ecclesiastes 5:1 Guard your steps when you go to God's house; for to draw near to listen is better than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they don't know that they do evil.

Ecclesiastes 12:14 For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.

Matthew 6:23 But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

Let it be noted, Christ has not told any of us, who is faithful or not? Who has been exulted into his kingdom, and who is our faithful slave? The rest, all the teachings, are made up from mankind's logic by those claiming such authority to know such matters. The point we must understand Christ did not seek mankind's glory, or the devil's exultation of him on earth. Christ sought his Father's approval unto the death of all mankind's disapproval.

Isaiah 53:3 He was despised, and rejected by men; a man of suffering, and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; and we didn't respect him.

Matthew 21:42 Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures, 'The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes?'{Psalm 118:22-23}

Luke 9:22 saying, "The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up."

Christ suffered in his flesh, he was rejected by false religion, that is, get the point, man made religion calling itself God's religion, he was hated by this world, and yet, remained a faithful servant of God. Once proven faithful, God exulted him over all that was his, sound familiar? Making Christ the head of the body, meaning the person speaking for God, Christ, not men who self-appoint themselves over other members.

Heb.1:1 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 1:2 has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.

John 8:54 Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.

The order of headship was set by God himself, those of the flesh disrespect headship, they cannot know divine headship, they take, then rebel, and fight against the things of the Spirit just as we are told. Weeds have built many false kingdom upon earth labeling them Christ Kingdom. They have used the laws Christ abolished over his body members to keep control of their power, property holding, and/or riches. This man-made servant enslaves Christ servants, destroys them, hence, the blood of God's holy ones is found in every fiber of false religions kingdom.

Rev.17:5 And on her forehead a name was written, "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." 17:6 I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.

2 Peter 2:11 whereas angels, though greater in might and power, don't bring a railing judgment against them before the Lord.

But still God's judgment is not placed in the hands of men, it waits upon the master return, with God's holy angels, to remove his wheat from the weed, then those faithful will be exulted, but not until!

Romans 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Don't set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don't be wise in your own conceits.

James 4:6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."{Proverbs 3:34}

James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.

Mark 13:27 Then he will send out his angels, and will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the sky.

Matthew 13:38 the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.

Matthew 13:40 As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age.
