Service God is a big time business Luke 2:49. Business is an enterprise we engage in with expectation of profit -- Romans 12:11 -- Our stewardship must be recognised as business Psalms 89:20-24 --- Serving God makes giant out of an ordinary believer.
Platforms for Kingdom Stewardship
1. Praying for the salvation of all the unsaved that comes into our services Isaiah 66:7-8 -- Every new birth is as a result of the travail of the saints Galatians 4:19 Luke 2:37 -- Non should come to a service without praying for souls to be saved.
Why must we pray ?
1. The enemy us continuously contending with the access of people to the light of the gospel 2 Corinthians 4:4/3:15-18 Luke 11:22
2. Paying the way for new converts to come to and fro Church Luke 14:21. There comes a point when the loudest voice that can speak for you is your service -- Isaiah 38:1-4 --- Service has a voice. Every opportunity to serve God is an amplified voice on your behalf.
What we must do to see that our stewardship qualifies for Rewards
1. Serve God righteously Hebrews 12:28 2 Timothy 2:19-21/7:1 -- not everyone's work is acceptable to God, it's only those who serve righteously. Whatever pollute your life pollute your service. You can offer to God service that is corrupted.
2. Serve God faithfully 1 Corinthians 4:2 Proverbs 28:21 -- Don't do your stewardship with eye service but faithfully -- Matthew 24:45-46
3. Serve from the heart Jeremiah 17:10 Ephesians 6:6
Returns of Kingdom Advancement Stewardship

The presence of God is the ultimate advantage in the journey of life. This is why you must keep going after His commandment John 8:29
2. It secures Favour with God Psalms 102:13-15 -- The favour of God is a game changer. Those who goes after the agenda of God keep increasing in favour Luke 2:49. Favour is not free, we procure it by our obedience to His commandments.
3. Supernatural fruitfulness Exodus 23:25-26 -- fruitfulness is one of the rewards of our engagement
4. Confers joy and rejoicing Luke 10:17 -- one of our return for our engagement is joy and rejoicing. In this day and age, one of the thing that is why scarce is joy. People are looking for joy everywhere.
