Look with me please in Luke the 16th chapter.

Luke 16.

If you haven't been with us the previous two nights,

I would encourage you to consider listening to or watching the previous ones

because a lot of foundation has been laid to get to where we are tonight. And we've been

talking about the greatest key to increase. This is weak of increase. The greatest key, I know

that's a big statement. But the greatest key to increase is not sowing, though that's a key, not giving, though that's a key.

Not confession, though that's a key.

Not working.

Not diligence, though those are keys.

The greatest key is faithfulness.

The greatest key, I believe you'll see that if you look at the scriptures with me, is faithfulness.

In Luke 16, Jesus talked about the steward, who was an unjust steward.

A steward is a manager,

a manager of an estate or a manager of a house.

And it had been reported that this man,

this manager, had wasted the master or the lords that he was working for, substance.

And we won't go through that again, but he was removed from his position, which he should

have been.

And we know he was unfaithful, and the charges brought against him weren't without reason,

because we saw what he did when he saw he was going to be put out.

He lied and stole some more.
