PHASE 2 – LIVE THE JOURNEY
We should really get stuck on having a desire to strengthen others,
instead of just trying to fill our tool box with the next fancy tool that
we don‘t even use effectively.
Romans 12:3+6-8 For I say, through the grace given to me, to
everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly
than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to
each one a measure of faith. 6 Having then gifts differing

prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; or ministry, let
us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; he who
exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads,
with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
The gifted are always in danger of pride, therefore Paul speaks

ourselves, and to realise that it is God who gives the gifts, they are
not earned or deserved. It is given by God and by His measure of
grace.
1 Peter 4:10-11 As each one has received a gift, minister it to one

which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through
Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever
and ever. Amen.

that which our Father has given us. If we are caught up by the
amount of gifts we have and not on applying them in the lives of
