How to Use Your Spiritual Gifts.

Ephesians 4:11-13
11 Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. 12 Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. 13 This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ.

Everybody is capable of doing different things. Not only that, but everybody has their strong points - what they're better at - their talents.

You see, God gives us all talents and he expects us to use those to benefit his people. It can be an athletic ability or an academic ability. Nonetheless, you can still share God with others by doing what you love.

If you are a leader, God made you so that you can equip and train others. If you don't do your part in helping the kingdom, the church will not be as strong.

We must keep in mind God's will and the way he wants things to be done. We have to manage it ourselves, but remember you can always pray about it. If more people step up in their game, instead of giving in, Satan will have a harder time holding back the work of God.

Is there any way in which you can use those talents such as teaching, leading, helping and giving for the Kingdom of God? Take some time to figure out what God's intentions are specifically for you. There are many sources of spiritual gift evaluation tools out there. If you want me to send you one to you to help you identify your strengths, email me at heytbone92@gmail.com
