How are you doing in the area of property and 

finances? Are you representing Christ with honour? 

Does your way of handling life’s transactions honour 

the name of Christ? Consider the following case-

studies, then rate your own journey of faith.

A servant

Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be 

found faithful. 1 Corinthians 4:2 (KJV)

References: Genesis 15:1-4; Genesis 24;

Before the birth of Abraham’s son, a servant born in his 

household stood in line to inherit all of Abraham’s 

wealth. The act of establishing Isaac, Abraham’s heir, in 

marriage did nothing to advance the cause of Abraham’s 

steward. Yet faithfulness to Abraham and his family is 

observed in the life of Abraham’s steward, who in the 

absence of an heir stood to gain all of Abraham’s wealth. 

Contrast this with: Luke 20:9-18;

Abraham

Reference: Genesis 14 (especially verses 18-24);

In times of war, victorious parties often used the 

opportunity to secure great advantage over others. Yet 

Abraham never took from the loot obtained in war, 

except what was needed to cover his costs. He did not 

pursue his advantage of victory in order to amass great 

wealth. His personal wealth came through divine favour 

on his hard work and industry.

Isaac

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war 

after the flesh: 2 Corinthians 10:3 (KJV)

Reference: Genesis 26 (especially verses 19-22);

Isaac sought to live peaceably among his neighbours 

despite his great wealth and influence in the land. It was 

Isaac’s choice to repeatedly incur personal losses and 

inconvenience rather than enforce his ownership rights. 

Contrast this with: James 4:1-3;

Jacob

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to 

every man that is among you, not to think of 

himself more highly than he ought to think; but to 

think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every 

man the measure of faith. Romans 12:3 (KJV)

Reference: Genesis 31 (especially verses 36-42);

When faced with gross injustice most people would 

refuse to put others ahead of self. While as a younger 

man Jacob sought to outsmart others, as an older and 

wiser man he honoured God by seeking the welfare of 

others before his own.
