A MAXIMUM STEWARDSHIP
INTRODUCTION
Let us continue reading from Matthew 25:14-30.
We should actually be Christians who can do the maximum. Many Christians live their lives like people who have no hope and strength in God, so they become average, even below average Christians.

How do you become a Christian who is able to do the maximum?
1. Never make excuses.
When we don't want to do something, we often come up with all kinds of excuse
At first, Moses felt that he was not a good speaker, Gideon felt that he had been abandoned by God.
2. Develop our gifts and talents.
In 1 Timothy 4:14-15 it says: “Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all.”
We must explore and develop these gifts and talents so that we can become productive people and achieve our full potential.
3. Dare to think differently than normal (out of the box).
We must dare to do something that has never been done before. God told Joshua to prepare the Israelites to walk a path that they had never walked before. When the Israelites were attacked by the Midianites, they were afraid and lived in caves. They lived in fear until Gideon came along, who was called by God to face the Midianites.
4. Stay focused and have faith in God.
I believe that when we focus on God and have faith in Him, then we will see the greatness of God in doing extraordinary things in our lives..
CONCLUSION
Be a Steward to the max, not merely average, or even below average.
