What is stewardship?

Luke 16:1 He (Jesus) also said to His disciples: "There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and an accusation was brought to him that this man was wasting his goods. 2  "So he called him and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward.’ 3  "Then the steward said within himself, ‘What shall I do? For my master is taking the stewardship away from me. I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg. 4  ‘I have resolved what to do, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.’

Using Strong’s Concordance:

Stewardship 3622 oikonomia; n f; Translated in the King James Version – ‘dispensation’ 4 times, ‘stewardship’ 3 times

Meaning: the management of a household or of household affairs, specifically, the management, oversight, administration, of another person's property; the office of a manager or overseer, stewardship; administration, dispensation.
