What Gift do I Have?

According to the grace given to us, we have different gifts: if prophesy, use it according to the standard of one's faith; if service, in service; if teaching, in teaching; if exhortation, in exhortation; giving, with generosity; leading, with diligence; showing mercy, with cheerfulness.

This is where we must know ourselves and not think too highly of ourselves. If we think we should be used as teachers then is their evidence of this in our lives, have we been recognised and approved as a teacher?

If we think we should be a leader do we already have a following that is godly and bearing good fruit? Are we leading with diligence or are we spasmodic?

Have we investigated mercy? Giving? Service? Exhortation?

The gift of exhortation is so much appreciated and so little used, it lifts people up! Are you sure this is not your gift laying idle?

The gift of service edifies the leaders no end, are you sure you are not called to serve and bless others?

The gift of giving showers all with blessing, you are a channel of the most High, it is a thoroughly blessed gift, are you missing out on the blessing to be a blessing?

Another gift that is precious, it bears the stamp of Christ is mercy. He was merciful and won many. How about you? Are you sure you are not wired for mercy?

This is why it is important to think and not react, go to God for His lead, don't take that position! Amen!
