Discovering your ministry gifts:

“And so, dear brother and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all He has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice — the kind He will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship Him.” — Romans 12:1 (NLT)

Ministry gifts are:

NATURAL APTITUDES OR ABILITIES

We all have natural abilities that we’ve learned from those around us regardless of our Christian faith. Many times our natural abilities and strengths are redeemed by the Lord to become spiritual gifts.

Ministry gifts are not:

1. TITLES OR POSITIONS

Spiritual gifts often lead to titles or positions but a person may have the gift without the role or the role without the gift. Regardless, we should serve whenever we are given the opportunity. Working in the area of your gifting will allow you to “be” the person that God has called you to be rather than just “doing” good things.

2. SELF-PROMOTING

Spiritual gifts are endowments given by God to His people for accomplishing His purpose on the earth. Spiritual gifts are given for the glory of God.

“So it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other. In His grace, God has given us different gifts to doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.” — Romans 12:4-8 (NLT)
