CHAPTER 16

CHRISTIAN ECONOMICS 101: STEWARDSHIP

It would not do us much good to tear down an evil stronghold if we are going to allow the enemy to come right back in and rebuild it. In fact, this would leave us even worse off because, as the Lord warned, when the enemy is displaced he will wander around for awhile, but then he always determines to return to his former “house.” If he is able to get back in, he will bring seven more evil spirits even meaner than himself. So our goal for tearing down every evil stronghold is to rebuild a stronghold of truth in its place so that the enemy has no opportunity to return.

Christian economics is the art of good stewardship in obedience to the simple biblical procedures that the Lord has given to us. We are spending a little more time on this than you may have expected in a book about spiritual strongholds because this is one of the primary ones that we must confront and overcome as Christians, especially at the end of the age. Stewardship is the emphasis of a substantial portion of the Bible because of its importance.

As the Lord made clear in the parable of the talents (see Matthew 25:14-30), we must seek to use everything the Lord has entrusted to us in the most profitable way. Recorded in Luke 16:9-13 we have another related exhortation from the Lord:And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of the [mammon] of unrighteousness; so that when it fails, they will receive you into the eternal dwellings.

He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much.
