The Six Stewardships: The Fountain of Joy and Source of Divine Power

Introduction: Discovering Joy through Divine Focus

What if joy isn’t something to chase but something to uncover? The six stewardships God has given you are not mere responsibilities; they are the key to accessing a wellspring of joy and unlocking divine power. Yet, too often, distractions blur our focus, leaving us thirsting for lasting happiness. Joy is closer than you think—it flows when you magnify what God has already placed in your hands.

Pain Point: A Misplaced Focus

Many struggle to find joy because they seek it in the wrong places. They look to fleeting pleasures, worldly pursuits, or distractions that pull their hearts away from what truly matters. The result is emptiness, frustration, or even despair. Without a clear focus on God’s priorities, the soul becomes parched, wandering through deserts of unfulfilled desires.

Principle: Joy Amidst Struggle through Divine Stewardship

The six stewardships—your relationships, your talents, your work in the Lord’s vineyard, your service to others, your covenantal growth, and your contributions to His kingdom—are streams of living water. These streams, when tapped into and magnified, converge into the River of Christ, empowering you to transform your small efforts into something eternal.

A small stream may twist and turn to navigate obstacles, but a mighty river, like the Missouri, carves a direct and powerful path to the ocean. Likewise, when your stewardships feed into Christ’s River, they contribute to the body of Christ, building God’s kingdom and aligning your life with His purposes. Your talents and efforts are no longer isolated—they magnify and flow toward God’s glory, empowering you to do more than you ever could on your own.

This is not about willpower or the arm of the flesh but about yielding to God’s power. Magnifying your stewardships connects you to Christ’s strength, enabling you to accomplish greater works—miracles that transform not only your life but the lives of others. With your eye single to God’s glory, you become an instrument in His hands, allowing His kingdom to grow through your efforts.

And as you flow in this mighty River, magnifying your talents and fulfilling your stewardships, you become a beacon, inviting others to connect their streams to Christ’s River. Your efforts inspire and uplift, contributing to a collective work that builds Zion and brings joy to all who join.

Invitation: Step into the River

Today, choose one stewardship to magnify. Focus your effort with purpose. Whether it’s expressing love to your spouse, nurturing a child, honing your talents, or serving someone in need, take action today.

Invite Christ into your effort. Tap into His River of power and let your small stream join in the mighty work of God’s kingdom. As you do, you will inspire others to connect their streams, creating a collective flow of divine power and joy.

Blessing: Joy that Sustains and Transforms

When you act to magnify your stewardships, joy will flow like a river, even amidst struggle. As you align with the River of Christ, His power will transform your efforts into eternal contributions. You will become firm and steadfast, ready to receive every good thing.

Your stewardships will not only sustain you but will overflow to bless others, becoming a source of strength and light. Through Christ, you will become more than you ever could on your own—a disciple who walks in joy, anchored to the Fountain of Living Water.

Walk the Path with Me

When your small stream feeds into Christ’s River, you join the work of God’s kingdom. As your stewardships magnify God’s glory, you will find strength and joy that surpass all mortal understanding. And as you flow in His power, you will naturally inspire others to join, inviting them to connect their streams to Christ’s River.
