USE YOUR GIFTS

1 Peter 4:10-11

As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Personal Challenge

One of the promises that we have received as followers of Christ is that we will be given one or more gifts to be used for His kingdom. These gifts are articulated throughout the New Testament. Jesus expects us to use our gifts to build up His body, as good stewards for Him. We do this gladly. Sometimes our gifts may be thwarted by others within the body, whether unintentionally or with malicious intent. In these cases, we still seek out ways to use those gifts for His edification. Glory be to God!
