God has indeed made available everything we need to be blessed by the Kingdom and to be a blessing to the Kingdom. You are a custodian when you accept the responsibility to be a child of God, Romans 8:14. and your reward begins from the earth as you enjoy many great benefits; good health, sound wisdom, wealth, prosperity, working of miracles, authority over darkness and its works, living a life of honour, beauty and grace...
A custodian is someone who is entrusted with a valuable asset in order to prevent it from theft/loss or been wasted and also to tend such asset to multiplication or profit. A custodian can also be known as a caretaker, keeper, conservator… A custodian takes care, protects, and develops the asset into a profitable means.
In the last series, the discussion had been quite interesting, using the biblical story of David and Obed-Edom, we are able to delve into God’s principle as regards what He commits to your hand, the motive behind the way you carry it out and basically.
In this series, we will give a concise definition of custodian, what God can entrust in your hand and the qualities of a custodian. These qualities does not only signify how successful a custodian can be, but also where such custodian will end (heaven).
David has forgotten that God is the God of principle and will not break it for anyone. Not even for Jesus. When God says the wages of sin is death in Romans 3:23, He meant it. Jesus had to die because He was carrying the sin of the whole world, both born then and unborn, as many that believe in Him shall be saved. Over 2000 years, His death is still a saving grace for us out of sin till date. This implies that, any sinner who believe in Jesus, confess his/her sins to Him and accept Him as his/her personal Lord and saviour will not have to die for his/her sin again, but shall be saved. Because Jesus has paid the price once and for all.
David was so enthusiastic about bringing the Ark to Jerusalem(David’s City), but he changed his mind when on their way from the house of Abinadab, Uzzah died as a result of trying to save the Ark of God from falling. How did this happen and what is God trying to teach us? The Ark was placed on an Oxen, which was a major mistake David made. The Ark has a guideline and ways it should be carried. This will be discussed more in series II (God of Principle). The Oxen had slipped and the Ark tilted to fall, as Uzzah stretched his hand to save it, he was struck dead. The death of Uzzah scared King David, if the Ark can kill the son of whom the Ark has been for years, I better be wise. Instead of moving it to David’s city, he instructed that the Ark should be kept in Obed-Edom’s house.
