Benefiting from the Ministry of the Holy Spirit: Serving God

God has endowed you with a wonderful capacity—gifts of His Spirit—to be used for His glory. It behooves you to discover your gifts, grow in your gifts and exercise them that you walk in the fullness of your calling in God.

RELEVANCE

God is able to reveal His gifts deposited in you. We all walk to some measure in them. Sometimes, however, life has a way of keeping us in constraint, restraining our growth. God desires that you be free to grow and flow in His gifts, the gifts of His Spirit.

“There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills” (1 Corinthians 12:4-11).

REFLECT AND RELATE

Meditate about the things you do well, are drawn to and move you. You may be aware of some of your spiritual gifts, but need to nurture them and exercise them more freely to build your confidence. Ask God how you can grow and more freely exercise your gifts. He will make a way.
