✨ Opening the Stewardship Congress – Adventist Church in Angola
Brothers and sisters in Christ, it is with joy and reverence that we join the Adventist Church in Angola to open this Stewardship Congress. This gathering is not only a moment of fellowship, but also a call to renew our commitment to God as faithful stewards of all that He has entrusted to us — our time, talents, resources, and lives.
The Bible reminds us in 1 Corinthians 4:2: “Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.” Faithfulness in stewardship is not optional; it is the very essence of our relationship with God. Everything we have belongs to Him, and we are called to manage it wisely for His glory.
In Malachi 3:10, the Lord challenges us: “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.” This promise shows that stewardship is not a burden, but a pathway to abundant blessings.
Jesus Himself taught in Matthew 25:14–30 the parable of the talents, reminding us that each gift we receive must be multiplied and used for the advancement of His kingdom. Stewardship is not only about money, but about dedicating our entire lives to God’s mission.
As we open this congress, let us remember that stewardship is worship. It is gratitude expressed in action. It is living with the conviction that, as Psalm 24:1 declares: “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.”
May this congress inspire us to be faithful stewards, to serve with joy, and to give generously, knowing that our reward is eternal.
