Friends we are held accountable as stewards for our business. Throughout the gospels as well as the rest of the Bible we are shown time and time again the principle of stewardship. We briefly discussed stewardship in your Christian Home Business in part one of this article series. Often I am asked what does stewardship involve. Stewardship is governed by the principle of how we handle the gifts, talents and provisions that the Lord has given us.

The bible teaches us much about stewardship. Many examples within The Word clearly defines the principle of stewardhip. For one example I would like to paraphrase a passage in Luke. For the exact Wording refer to Luke 19:12-27.

The parable is that of a ruler who left to take control over another kingdom. While he was gone he left some business or property with ten different slaves to be stewards of his business while he was away. Upon his return he ordered that three of the slaves who had stewardship to be brought to him to show what they have done.

The first person who was called into to give an account for how he managed the assets of what he was given responsibility. The king had given him 1 mina and the asked the servant what he had done with that mina. The servant replied, "You gave me one mina and I have 10 more." Due to his faithful stewardship the servant was given 10 cities to oversee. The second had increased the mina to 5 and was rewarded five cities.

When the third servant came in to report he said, "Master I have your mina, I hid it because I was afraid of losing it." The master replied, "Take the mina from him and give it to the one who has 10 minas." The moral of this is he who can manage little will get more and he who does not, will not."

As Christians in our Christian Home Business we are given stewardship and held accountable. The reality even when our business has little we are still required to manage our time, our mentoring and everyother part of your business.

We are held accountable for our relationships with our team, we are held accountable for our talents given by the Lord and we are held accountable for our possessions. The Truth is all these things are on loan from God. Growth in our home business and our lives is rooted in responsibility. What have you done to increase your personal and spiritual development? Have you evaluated the gifts and talents the Lord has given you?

The principle of this is that your business will grow based upon your stewardship of your Christian Home Business. Now understand I am not talking about prosperity preaching or anything of that matter. I am speaking of being blessed according to Gods Word and His will for your business. Remember, those that can manage little will be given more.
