1.1       Background to the Study

This research study examines the impact of effective Stewardship on the Church moral life (A case study of Ondo District of Assemblies of God, Nigeria). The term Stewardship is as older than Christianity itself—dating back to the creation of the world in the book of Genesis. God is the source of all things and God gives His creation to human beings, who are made in His image and likeness. We are not made to be passive recipients, merely accepting and consuming God’s gifts.[1] To take these gifts for granted is an extreme misinterpretation of our role in a relationship with a loving Father. We are made, however, to be like God and share the gifts of His creation, just as God shares. Stewardship can be seen as; office, duties, and obligations of a steward; the conducting, supervising, or managing of something; especially; the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one’s care... The Bible says that someone who is faithful with a little thing will be faithful with much (Luke 16:9-11).[2]

The Bible use of the word “stewardship” is much the same as the dictionary definition. Stewardship as it is used in the Bible means “managing the assets that are in one’s care”.( Luke 16:2)...
