3 Luke 16: The Parable of the Unjust Steward 1 He also said to His disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and an accusation was brought to him that this man was [a]wasting his goods. 2 So he called him and said to him, What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward. 3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? For my master is taking the stewardship away from me. I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg. 4 I have resolved what to do, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. 5 So he called every one of his master s debtors to him, and said to the first, How much do you owe my master? 6 And he said, A hundred [b]measures of oil. So he said to him, Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty. 7 Then he said to another, And how much do you owe? So he said, A hundred [c]measures of wheat. And he said to him, Take your bill, and write eighty. 8 So the master commended the unjust steward because he had dealt shrewdly. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in their generation than the sons of light. 9 And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous [d]mammon, that when [e]you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home. 10 He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. 11 Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? 12 And if you have not been faithful in what is another man s, who will give you what is your own? 13 No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

10 The Terrain Proverbs 13:22 (NKJV) A good man leaves an inheritance to his children s children, But the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous. WEALTH is NEVER DESTROYED it is merely transferred On the opposite side of every crisis there is opportunity 2 Chronicles 1: Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this great people of Yours? Then God said to Solomon: Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches or wealth or honor or the life of your enemies, nor have you asked long life but have asked 12 wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge My people over whom I have made you king We need Divine WISDOM and KNOWLEDGE to handle wealth Deuteronomy 8:18 (NKJV) 18 And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may [a]establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. POWER to GET WEALTH is a spiritual GIFT of GOD
