4. Speech is a GIFT… It is to be used to declare God's wisdom and wondrous love. Strength is a GIFT… Our bodies belong to Him. He has paid the price of redemption for the body as well as for the soul.

5. Influence is a GIFT… The practical benevolence, the self-denial and self- sacrifice, which mark the life of a man, have an influence for good upon those with whom he associates.”

6. “God has put men and women in possession of precious gifts. To different ones He has given different gifts. Not all have the same strength of character or the same depth of knowledge. But each one is to use his gifts in the Master's service, however small this gift may seem to be. The faithful steward trades wisely on the goods entrusted to him”

9. “Our time belongs to God. Every moment is His, and we are under the most solemn obligation to improve it to His glory. Of no talent He has given will He require a more strict account than of our time. The value of time is beyond computation. Christ regarded every moment as precious, and it is thus that we should regard it. Life is too short to be trifled away. We have but a few days of probation in which to prepare for eternity. We have no time to waste, no time for the indulgence of sin. It is now that we are to form characters for the future, immortal life.” E.G.W. (The Faith I Live By, p. 158)

10. For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. (1Co 6:20) “If we could understand this, and fully realize it, we would feel a great responsibility resting upon us to keep ourselves in the very best condition of health, that we might render to God perfect service.” (E.G.W. Testimonies for the Church, vol. 2, p. 354) For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

12. Giving God of our Possessions is to seem as a privilege not an obligation, duty, or command!

13. But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee. (1Ch 29:14)

14. Giving of our possessions is an honor and an investment when we understand this truth; But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth…” (Deu 8:18)

15. God owns all we have. When we tithe we are simply returning to Him one tenth of what it is His. We must manage properly the rest of the possessions God has assigned us as stewards. The more we give to God, the more we benefit. “God loves a cheerful giver” 2 Corinthians 9:7

17. We are waiting for Christ return. Soon He will come and want an account of the stewardship of our gifts, our time, our physical strength, and our material resources. May you dear friend hear these words when the Lord returns:

18. Matthew 25:23
