Luke 16:1-3 And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward. Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.

I do not know if you have heard faith. If you have not we will address that before moving on to another topic. If you have and seemed to have lost your hearing, allow me to address the issue of hearing loss.

Having come to Christ we all are given a stewardship in His Kingdom. We have all received gifts which we should call “His goods”. We have been given the goods to perform that which is asked of us in stewardship. We should be aware that failure in stewardship can result in loss of position. If we fail to follow directions, He will call upon another to serve His will. If you are consistent in failing to obey His commands, why should you expect to receive further instruction?

Luke 16:10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

What causes us to stop hearing God by faith? Being unfaithful perhaps? How about if you stop listening, have turned a deaf ear to the Lord? Is there any difference between the two? How about sin? Have you placed sin once again between you and our Holy God?

Hebrews 10:26-27 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

Have you become too familiar with God and lost that fearful reverence?
