"THE LORD GOD TOOK THE MAN AND PUT HIM IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN TO WORK IT AND TAKE CARE OF IT."

1. God placed you where you are for a purpose.
2. We are called to WORK it.
3. We are called to KEEP it.
4. Stewardship comes before expansion.

ยท Adam was place in the garden. He was not accidentally place there for nothing, he was placed there intentionally of the Lord. Where God has positioned you today is not accidental.
ยท Ask, "Lord what have you entrusted to me here?" God sometimes put us in the place we didn't expect and we never saw coming. But God place us there for a purpose.
"God wants us to be settled. And if you are not yet settled in that place, it means that it is not yet the place the Lord wants for you."
-Pstr. Nixon
๐. ๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ญ. Even in the very start God already design us to work. (to do something for what He had given us) Blessing requires stewardship.
ยท STEWARDSHIP means acting as a manager or caretaker of God's creation and resources rather than the owner.
ยท What God gives us must be cultivated. - and it means to grow and nurture.
ยท Our gifts need to be developed, our relationships nurtured, and our calling faithfully pursued.

ยท "KEEP" means to guard and protect. To treasure, to give value. Not everything should be allowed into the garden. We must protect our faith, our relationship, family, values, time and our connection with God.
To WORK and to KEEP-it teaches us to be a witness of the extension of God's work.

ยท Sometimes we ask God for bigger Garden (places, opportunity, things etc.) when He is asking us to be faithful with the garden we already have.
ยท Before God gives us more, He wants us to faithfully care for what is already in our hands.
ยท From small garden to Bigger one, when we learn to become a good steward of that tiny place where He put us first, He will allow us to be in the bigger place.
God has already place something valuable in your hands.
Don't merely enjoy the garden-cultivate it
Don't merely receive the blessing-protect it

13 "You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.
14 "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.
16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that[a] they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
