Gifts & Calling Vol. 1

The greatest gift you can give to the world is to use the gift you brought into it. Selah!

Some of the following questions may arise:

 

Q.  What is my gift?

Ans.  Your gift is the thing that you do naturally without prompting or coercion. The thing that you can do instinctively that others struggle and strain to do.  The thing that will always bring you genuine satisfaction and fulfilment. The thing that makes you feel you have made a difference.

 

Q.  Is it too late to use my gift?

Ans.  Ask the person you help! Ask the person you encourage! Ask the person you comfort!  Be aware that a gift only truely becomes meaningful when it is has been given.

 

Q. What is the best gift?

Ans.  On the surface a puzzling question but only on the surface.  Is the best gift the gift of healing, or helps or one of the 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit…and of the latter which is the best?  There is a simple and powerful answer – the best gift is the one you need at the time.  The perfect gift is the one that perfectly meets the need. Never belittle or sideline the gifts that you have for they are the perfect answer to someones pressure and problem.

 

Q.  What’s the secret to getting started?

Ans.  Accepting what Christ has done for you (Romans 6:10 – 11).  Accepting what the Holy Spirit can do through you (Zechariah 4:6; John 14:11-17).  Accepting what God thinks of you (Jeremiah 29:11; Hebrews13: 5-6).  Please note that most holds ups are caused by hang ups!

 

Q. Is the actual gift and calling enough on their own?

Ans.  No!  Any gift and calling that is not married to a mature character will ultimately be self serving and in the worst case scenario even dangerous to all concerned.  There are no exceptions to good character – Luke 2:25; Luke 2:37; Luke 2:40; Acts 6:3. Don’t just be a “big character” be a mature one.

 

Q. What is the key to using your gifts and fulfilling the call of God?

Ans.  Be    F.A.I.T.H.F.U.L.     in…

Fear

Adversity

Instruction

Trial

Hurt

Fame

Unity

Love
