Use Your Gifts For Him
So we are to use our different gifts in accordance
with the grace that God has given us. If our gift is
to speak God’s message, we should do it according
to the faith that we have (Romans 12:6 GNB).
As God’s children, there’s something unique
about each one of us; we’re all so uniquely
graced and gifted by God. The Bible says, “…But
every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this
manner, and another after that” (1 Corinthians 7:7).
Everything you are in Christ—all the gifts, talents, and
abilities God has given you—are to be used for His
glory. Whatever the Lord has taught you or is teaching
you; whatever He has exposed you to and helped
you to know, are all for the furtherance of the Gospel.
Therefore, find the opportunity to use them to advance
His agenda of soul winning.
Prayerfully consider what more you can do for
the Lord. What more can you contribute? Become
available; let others benefit from the Lord’s investment
in you. You may not even know what you can do, but
as you make yourself available, God’s Spirit will help
you bring your gifts and talents to the fore.
The Lord has called and chosen you. He’s counting
on you; He believes in you. He counted you faithful,
and gave you the enablement, the supernatural
endowment, to do His work: “And I thank Christ
Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he
counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry”
(1 Timothy 1:12).
Look out for the need around you; find out what’s
necessary to be done in the house of God and be
inspired to action. Don’t wait. Put all you’ve got into
the furtherance of the Gospel. Be willing to spend
and be spent for the Gospel. The gifts and talents that
you have are “…for the work of the ministry, for the
edifying of the body of Christ” (Ephesians 4:12).
Prayer
Dear Lord, I’m grateful and honoured for the privilege to
be a minister of reconciliation.
Through me, many are coming to the knowledge of the Gospel
of Christ, which you’ve graciously committed to my trust. My passion
for the Gospel is fuelled more than ever before, and I dedicate
my all to ensuring that your righteousness is established in
the hearts of men, all around the world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
