SPIRITUAL GIFTS BEYOND THE CHURCH
WALLS.
Our spiritual gifts should not be
restricted or limited to Church buildings and other Christian gatherings. We
should learn to extend them to the outside world.
Now, spiritual gifts are abilities
given to us by the spirit of God. These gifts are for the growth and
edification of the church.
Also there are diverse spiritual
gifts which a true Christian can posses such as discernment, prophesy, faith,
healing, words of wisdom, knowledge etc 1Cor 12.
Most Christians are spiritually
gifted, some have spiritual abilities, while some are yet to discover theirs.
Now, having these gifts are
important but more important when they are being extended to the outside world.
As a Christian don't let your
gifts just end in the church. Don't let your gifts end in taking care of people
in the church alone, seeing visions for the church, prophesying for the church,
working miracles for the church, hearing from God just for the church,
discerning only for the church, exercising faith just in the church, having
words of wisdom and knowledge only in the church but there in the outside world
you are just like every other normal person.
The earnest expectation of the
creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
We have to extend our spiritual
gifts to the outside world.
God is mighty, God is omnipotent,
his power is not restricted to biblical works alone. The power of God at work
in us is also unlimited.
We can do all things through
Christ that strengthens us.
We can change the world, we can
affect the world positively with our spiritual gifts.
The major difference between the
ability of a Christian and a non-Christian is the gifts and power of the Holy
Spirit at work in the Christian.
Now am not saying we should turn
our gifts into a commercial commodity, rather we should use it to represent
Christ even in our daily lives, our career, our work and in every other aspect
of our lives.
"Be inspired by the knowledge
of making God proud".
Hopeful Me!!
