1 Corinthians 12

Spiritual Gifts (by Pastor Cor)

The divine ability distributed by God to fulfill his purpose for us for the
common good of the will of God.

If you are gifted in teaching, Teach. If you are gifted in leadership,
lead. If you are gifted in reaching people, evangelize. If you are gifted
in music, then play. We cannot copy someone else's gift, we need to use the
gift that God has blessed us with. We need to discover out gift and then
develop our gift. If you are not using your spiritual gift God has given
you, maybe it's because you are scared but when you do use your gift it
will give you the greatest thrill you could ever imagine.
After you discover and develop it, deploy it. Put it into action (1 Peter
4: 10). God has given us each a gift so that we can use them. No Christian
is ever left out of receiving a gift, God has given each Christian a gift
to be able to function as one body. There should be no spectators within
the church, no one should ever just be sitting in the pews. The body of
Christ suffers, when one part does not use their gift. When we come here to
serve God we need to put aside any spector attitudes, not just listen to
The Word but be doer's of The Word.
God's plan is brilliant!!! Every Christian receives a gift, so that one
ever feels insignificant. No ever feels left out. Every person is an
important part to furthering the Kingdom of God. No such thing as "little
people" in the body of Christ. Every gift is needed, and we compliment each
other by using your gift. Start now by contributing to the body of Christ
and serve by using YOUR gift :)
