What You and Every Believer Should Be Doing (Part 2)

Since you began to believe in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, how have you been most consistently helpful to believers?  Do believers ask your advice and thank you for your wisdom?  Perhaps your gift is "words of wisdom," as listed in the spiritual gifts list in First Corinthians 12.  Do believers ask you to pray for them consistently, and do they tell you that when you pray for them your prayers are consistently and undeniably answered?  Perhaps you have the gift of faith. 

• Whatever you do for believers that you consistently and successfully help them with, that is your spiritual gift.
• Whatever you do that believers confirm as consistently helpful to them spiritually, that is your spiritual gift. 

It will come as effortlessly as breathing.  It will be a passion or burden. It will be something you can imagine yourself doing successfully, and something you do without really thinking about it.  It's who you are in Christ.


Now, if you know what your gift is after reading the previous paragraph, what is your "measure of grace," and your "measure of faith?"  Who are you called to serve, and how are you called to serve them?

• Know the limits of your authority and ability.

If you are only  called to children ages 5-6, then stay focused on them and them only.
If you are called teach these children praise songs, then don't try to teach them bible verses.


AND


When you go to believers for help and strength, go them based on their gifts!  Only go those who are spiritually gifted in your area of spiritual need.
You don't go to car mechanics when you have a toothache.
You don't go to the dentist when your care won't start.
