And
the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his
lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of
meat in due season?
– Luke 12:42

We often praise God for His
faithfulness. We’re thankful that we can always count on Him to be there
for us. But we rarely consider the fact that He needs us to be faithful
too.
It’s true. God needs people He can count on. He needs
faithful and wise stewards He can trust over His household. In this
final hour, He needs faithful believers to team up with, so He can
manifest Himself in the earth more than ever before.
“Oh Gloria, God doesn’t need me!”
Yes,
He does. Ever since the Creation, when He gave man dominion over the
earth, He’s needed people to work with Him to get His will done here.
You can see that all through the Bible. When the children of Israel were
in bondage in Egypt and He wanted to lead them out, He teamed up with a
man, Moses, to get the job done. Moses’ responsibility was to stretch
out his hand in the earth and command the will of God to be done.
Why
did He choose Moses? Because He needed someone who was faithful and
would dare to act on His Word. He needed someone He could count on, and
He knew Moses was that kind of man.
Psalm 103:7 says, “He made
known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.” If
Moses hadn’t been faithful to know God’s ways, the children of Israel
would never have seen God’s acts!
God needs you just as
He needed Moses. He needs you to be faithful and alert to spiritual
things. He needs you to be someone He can trust to know His Word and be
obedient to it. He needs you to be a steward who will stretch out his
hand like Moses did so that He can perform signs and wonders before the
people.
Will you be faithful? It’s a decision you have to make. No
one can do it for you. Right now, commit yourself to be that wise and
faithful servant. Say in your heart and with your mouth, “God, You can
count on me.”
