How are you using your gifts to serve the body? In yesterday’s Morning Brew, we recognized the complete sovereignty of God over everything. In God’s infinite wisdom, he custom-designed you with special gifts, talents and abilities to be leveraged and used to serve his kingdom. The question is: have you discovered your gifts, and are you using them to serve the body?

4 For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully. Romans 12:4-8

What are your gifts? Paul mentions several examples here: prophecy, serving, teaching, encouragement, giving, leading, and showing mercy. All unique gifts, all absolutely necessary for the building up and strengthening of the body. What are your gifts? If you haven’t taken one lately, a great online spiritual gifts test is: www.spiritualgiftstest.com.

Once you know your gifts, how are you leveraging them for the Kingdom? Are you serving in a local church? Are you leveraging your gifts in your family and in your neighborhood? Is there a ministry opportunity in town or a personal opportunity God has put in front of you?

Your greatest satisfaction and your greatest contribution to the Kingdom comes when you leverage and employ your spiritual gifts for the good of the church. Don’t sit on the sidelines. Get in there and serve! How are you using your gifts to serve the body?

Prayer: God, help me to discover my spiritual gifts, and open up opportunities for me to leverage my gifts for the good of the Kingdom. Amen.
