Your God-given spiritual gifts are a key piece of the puzzle that makes up your ministry profile. They help determine the direction and effect your ministry should take based on God’s special divine empowerments given for you to serve.
Read the following Scripture and consider how a good understanding about spiritual gifts helps prevent you from pride and dysfunction in serving the Lord.
1 Cor. 12:7-11 – Spiritual gifts are given by and operative in our lives by the Holy Spirit and are not personal strengths … so don’t take credit for what God does.
Rom. 12:3, 6-9; Eph. 4:7 – Spiritual gifts are distributed according to grace, not merit … so avoid comparisons and competitions with others.
1 Cor. 12:4-7, 12-31; Rom. 12:4-5 – Spiritual gifts vary and are not all given to each person but God will bring unity out of such diversity …. so accept and appreciate one another’s contribution.
