Inspiring Words for Using Your Spiritual Gift

You may have received specialized training for the job you are doing now; or perhaps you are still studying for the job you want. 

However, have you considered your spiritual gifts?  

These are gifts God empowers all believers with to use for a greater purpose.

“There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.” (1 Corinthians 12:4-6 NIV)

You may have thought about using your spiritual gifts before but started comparing yourself with the spiritual giants in the Bible: the disciples, the apostles, and other leaders - people that God would want to use.  However; know that God wants to use you too.

Or, perhaps you are using special talents that God gave you, but haven’t been using them to honor God.

Listen to this truth. When God called Paul, Paul was not honoring God in any way, shape, or form.  He was actually oppressing Christians. However, God knew that the gifts he put in Paul would eventually be used to bring many to Jesus.

When you gave your heart to Jesus, God gave you a special gift too; perhaps many, and he has not taken them back.

Reflecting On God’s Empowerment in Your Life

Think back.  What was it that made you believe you didn't have a spiritual gift? 

Remember, whatever God put inside of you is still there - waiting to be discovered, developed, activated, and used to draw others closer to him.

Read the whole chapter of 1 Corinthians 12, and ask God to continue developing you in the gift you believe you may have used at least once before.
