Inner Steward of God

Titus 1:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Titus 1 in context

Scripture Focus

7For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
Titus 1:7

Biblical Context

The verse calls a bishop to be blameless and to steward God's work faithfully. It forbids self-will, quick temper, drunkenness, violence, and the love of money, urging inner integrity.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your bishop is not an office you wear but an inner governor—the I AM that dwells as the steward of God within you. When you declare 'I am the steward of God within me,' you are consenting to align your life with divine purpose rather than personal command, letting the inner wisdom direct thoughts, feelings, and actions. Self-will falls away as you recognize that true freedom comes from embodying God’s governance, not from exercising independent desire. Anger loses its grip when you dwell in the steady awareness that you are the indwelling power, not a slave to impulsive mood. Sobriety of mind is the inward clarity that casts aside intoxication of mind or appetite, keeping attention fixed on the present I AM. To be unstriking and ungreedy means you treat every situation and resource as sacred capital entrusted to you by God, used with wisdom and love. As you continually inhabit this inner stewardship, your outer circumstances realign to reflect a life governed by the divine I AM, and you become blameless by the state you now inhabit.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and affirm, 'I AM the steward of God within me.' Feel the divine governance steadying your thoughts; then imagine directing your impulses with calm wisdom, as a faithful manager oversees a sacred treasury.
