9.4- Use your position or situation to make friends.

 9.4-

Use your position or situation to make friends.  The opportunity God gives you is a stewardship to help others from that place.  Jesus defeated Satan on the cross.  We have come to believe that He rose from the grave and sent His Holy Spirit to fill the hearts of His brothers and sisters.  He reigns now.  He is king of kings and Lord of Lords now.  We are children of light.  Our names are written in the lambs book of life.  Let us use our position as children of God to benefit those around us who need our help and support.

Luke 16.

16 Now He was also saying to the disciples, “There was a rich man who had a manager, and this manager was ^[a]reported to him as squandering his possessions. ² And he called him and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’ ³ The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do, since my ^[b]master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig; I am ashamed to beg. ⁴ I know what I shall do, so that when I am removed from the management people will welcome me into their homes.’ ⁵ And he summoned each one of his ^[c]master’s debtors, and he began saying to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ ⁶ And he said, ‘A hundred ^[d]measures of oil.’ And 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?’ And he said, ‘A hundred ^[e]measures of wheat.’ He *said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’ ⁸ And his ^[f]master praised the unrighteous manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the sons of this age are more shrewd in relation to their own ^[g]kind than the sons of light. ⁹ And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of the ^[h]wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, they will receive you into the eternal dwellings.
