How do modeling and stewardship mentioned in the scriptures intersect
Proverbs 13:22 Speaks of wealth to be left behind for children. I feel being a good role model for your kids is part of our Christian calling and preparing them to be good stewards through Christ. As parents and grandparents we must invest in our children and grandchildren in order for them to be productive. It is our Christian duty.
Proverbs 6:16-20 Speaks of the seven sins that God doesn’t like more than the ten commandments. People learn to love things more than others and tend to dislike things more than others. Same as GOD. As Chrisitans, we should love God and care about the things as he does. As stewards, we should elude those things that God doesn’t like. When we give our life to God, we give our body to serve God’s purpose by changing ungodly behavior with godly behavior.
Timothy 6:10 Speak of the love of money is the root to all evil. Material greed is motivated through sin which can lead to failure. The problem with the love of the money is people adore it and put trust in it. As steward, we should put our trust in God who will richly furnish us with all things we need.
Malachi 3:10 Teaches us to give as it is intended for. As steward and a follower of God, give from your heart and give generously.
1 Peter 4:10 Speaks of everything good we receive is by the grace of God and is expected to be used for God’s purpose and to serve each other by fulfilling that purpose.

As discussed in the scriptures, stewardship and modeling have an important relationship that can have lasting beneficial effects on a person’s life. Proverbs 13:22 states, “A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children.” Notably, the saying encourages the need to be a good steward of our actions and resources to benefit those who come after us. 1 Timothy 6:10 likewise speaks of the need to be “rich in good works” as a steward. 1 Peter 4:10 echoes this by admonishing us to use our resources and our talents to minister or even serve one another. Thus, stewardship is about being responsible and wise with what we have to help others.
Similarly, modeling and stewardship have an essential relationship. Proverbs 6:16-20 speaks of the desire for diligence, wisdom, and foresight to be successful. In this way, modeling can be perceived as a form of stewardship. The idea of modeling implies taking a carefully considered approach–weighing out the risks, the rewards, and the underlying motivations. In other words, we are good stewards of our decisions and the paths we take in life. Malachi 3:10 speaks to this idea of stewardship by emphasizing that “if you bring your tithe to the storehouse, there will be plenty of grain.” Thus this verse inspires us to be stewards of our finances and overall life choices to reap the rewards of a generous harvest.

A list of gifts that I have that can be used in a way to do good on this earth would include:
Positivity
Kindness
Stewardship
Honor
Respect… to just name a few.
In reading the article from Srivastava (2013) on “Emotional Intelligence, which is the global capacity of the individual to deal effectively with his environment,” explains how a person should have a mindset to be able to conduct business and leadership in a manner that will be profitable to the organization not only financially but also emotionally. The idea is when a person can understand and know their strengths and weaknesses and drive determination, no matter their role within the organization. They are better able and equipped to lead others in a manner that will be profitable and long-lasting for the organization. When one is aware and understands their emotions and how to understand others’ emotions, leadership works in a way that people are not offended or hostile towards one another. 1 Peter 4:10 (KJV) states that “As every man hath received the gift, even so, minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” As mentioned in the article, empathy and self-control are all important in leadership to ensure that the best qualities are seen for the organization’s workers to be at their best and do their best for the future. The leader sets the tone for the organization, so we would like a leader that shows emotional intelligence that can understand, perceive, and manage the emotions of others for the advancement and growth of the organization.

Response 4.) Mary
Throughout my career many individuals have randomly inquired if I was a teacher many years before I had even considered teaching as a profession. Many, and even I believe that I am a natural teacher as my approach to teaching has always laid heavily on practically sharing my experiences and correlating it around what I am teaching others. Another gift that I have been blessed with is my spirit of discernment which has proven to be sometimes good and sometimes bad as a revelation of something could have possible negative consequences.
The gift that is used quite often is my gift to be willing to share my experiences with those that I am leading by being transparent of how I was able to handle and or navigate my career. Many have approached me inquiring how they to can get on a similar course that would allow them also to experience and get exposed to facets within their career that will help to shape and mold them for a successful future. I can truly say that the current leadership within the organization display self-control in governing their emotions and being aware of their surrounding and the people that occupy those spaces. Leadership has shown that it is quite able to address and control interpersonal relationships empathetically and judiciously.
