Dispensation not Socialism

S. Acts 4:32 “All the believers were united in heart and mind. And they felt that which they owned was not their own, so they shared everything they had.”

O. The believers in the NT owned property - yet they rightly understood that it was in all reality, God’s property. So they shared what they had. This was not socialism, rather, it was believers practicing wise stewardship, oikonomia, managing well the resources that were entrusted to them.

A. I desire to be a wise manager of what God has given to me. I pray that I will use wisdom to direct what resources He has placed in my hands to where He wants them to go.

P. Thank you Father for blessing me. I do pray for the Holy Spirit to enlighten me and lead me in the best use of the resources you have place before me. In Jesus name!
