Every organisation has a system that guides it, and every member of staff needs to understand the system, which aids the productivity of the staff member. So, if a member of staff resigns from an organisation, and resumes at a new organisation, things may get frustrating if that staff member does things without first understanding how things run in the new organisation. In other words, knowing and understanding the system of the organisation anyone belongs to is very important.

Systems don’t only exist in organisations but in every setup, including the whole world. This means that there is a system of the world that should be understood to run things here on earth.
So, there was a certain rich man who had a steward or manager who
managed the rich man’s business, but after a while, news got to the rich man
that his manager was mismanaging his funds. After summoning the manager, he
decides to sack him, but he has to bring the books to the rich man before he
leaves.
The manager, knowing that he would be broke after leaving the rich
man’s business and was too proud to beg, then decided to meet with all those
who owed the rich man. As he asked each one what was owed, he decided to bring
the prices down. For instance, one of the debtors owed the rich man two hundred
thousand dollars, but the manager decided to write off fifty per cent of the
money. And to another, he wrote off twenty per cent of what was owed, and on
like that.
Stay with me. News soon got to the rich man about what his manager
had done, and he commended the manager on how he decided to save his neck after
leaving him. True, the rich man should have been angry, but he commended the manager
for one reason, and that reason was because he understood the system of this
world, and he used it well. It was like the rich man was so impressed that he
said, “Well played.”
This story was given by our Lord Jesus found in Luke 16:1-13. So,
what was Jesus’ reason for telling the story? His reason was that the people of
the world are wiser than those who are Sons and Daughters of God in how they
act using their system.
The children of the world know their system and are using it
properly, just as the unjust manager. But those who are Sons and Daughters of
God sadly do all they can to live the system of this world. Jesus’ point here
was that the Sons and Daughters of God are in this world, but not of this
world. Therefore, they are expected to know and understand the system of their
own kingdom, which is the kingdom of Our Lord Jesus. Thus, understanding His
kingdom, we then live it right here on earth, because part of our mission is to
bring the will of God in heaven down here on earth.
There is no point in forcing ourselves to act as the people of
this world, which is what we have been doing, thus making the people of this
world act wiser than those of the kingdom of Jesus. Act from where you come
from, and not from another place.
This was why Jesus said that use the resources here in this world
the way resources are to be used in the kingdom of our Lord Jesus. Thus, being
faithful even in little things, by doing that it shows that you will be
faithful in bigger things, as our faithfulness is in line with our true system
of the kingdom.
Stop trying to be like the people of the world even in their
successes and wealth, because it was achieved using the fallen system of this
world. But when you know and understand the system of the kingdom of our Lord
Jesus Christ, allow the Holy Spirit to lead you on how to live the kingdom life
here on earth.
Don't be who you're not, be who you are—the Son or Daughter of
God.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t? Pray out
loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I
believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I
receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations—you’re
born again, and you are now brand new!
