Luke 12:42 (KJV) And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
A steward is a person who manages another's property or financial affairs; one who administers anything as the agent of another or others. The possessions a steward controls are not his own and he doesn't have the liberty to do with them as he wishes. He is supposed to fulfil the desires of the one who appointed him as Steward.
A banker is also a steward who has been entrusted with other people's money. He cannot use the money for his own purpose rather he can use it which can benefit the depositors or to the Bank. If he uses the same money for his gain, it can lead him to Jail. Though there is money in his possession it does not belong to him.
Every believer is a steward of God's grace. All that we possess in Earth belongs to God. We have received these things from God and we are therefore accountable to HIM for the use and the misuse of it. Let's be a good steward and glorify HIS name.
