God says that he wants to award you.

He wants to reward you because God's got you.

But Dr. Tony Evans says if we neglect God's agenda,

we'll stifle those blessings.

You've got to be in alignment with him as a kingdom steward

This is the alternative broadcast featuring

the timeless biblical teachings from the archives of Dr. Tony Evans.

In the corporate world, good performance often comes with a bonus. Dr. Evans says the same principle

applies when it comes to managing God's business, only the benefits look very different. Let's join him as he

explains. Our salvation is free. Salvation is by grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus

Christ. You can't buy it, you can't earn it, you can't work for it because God will only give it away.

But once you are saved, God has an incentive clause. He has an awards program, if you will.

That awards program has nothing to do with you going to heaven because that's free.

But it has everything to do with how much to heaven because that's free, but it has everything to do with

how much of heaven you experience on earth. For you to take advantage of God's awards program,

you have to understand what your relationship is to him, and that is your relationship to God is as a steward, not as an owner.

A steward is a manager.

A kingdom steward is a believer who faithfully oversees the protection and expansion of the resources, time, talents, and treasures that God has placed

at their disposal for them to manage on his behalf. If you will decide to be a manager and

reject being an owner, he says there are seven things that will accrue to you as part of his bonus program.

So let's look at them.
