Kingdom Carriers | What Do You Really Own?
We spend much of our lives acquiring things.
Our money. Our possessions.
Our careers. Our gifts. Our time.
Our achievements.
And without realising it, one small word begins appearing everywhere:
Mine.
But the Kingdom confronts that word.
Scripture declares:
"The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it." — Psalm 24:1
If everything ultimately belongs to Him, then perhaps the better question isn't,
"What do I own?"
but,
"What has the King entrusted to me?"
That changes everything.
My resources become stewardship. My abilities become stewardship. My influence becomes stewardship. My opportunities become stewardship.
Even my time becomes stewardship.
Paul asked a penetrating question:
"What do you have that you did not receive?" (1 Corinthians 4:7)
Think about that.
If I received it, I cannot ultimately claim to be its source.
And if God entrusted it to me, then I must eventually answer for how I carried it.
Kingdom living therefore moves us from ownership to stewardship.
The question is no longer simply,
"What can I get?"
It becomes,
"Lord, what do You want me to do with what You have placed in my hands?"
Perhaps this is one of the great freedoms of Kingdom living:
I don't have to possess everything I carry.
I simply have to faithfully steward it.
Because ultimately, the Kingdom Carrier owns nothing.
The King owns everything.
Grace and peace,
Jacob
