DTC- DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING COURSE
Now that you have completed the survey, I‘m sure your mind is
exploding with WOW factors of how amazing God has made you,
and what He has placed within you.
However, it is important to remember that we are all different and
at different stages in our lives and walk with God. This survey is not
to discourage you, but rather to encourage you with what you
already have received, and as Paul says in 1 Corinthians 12:31 to
earnestly desire the best gifts. BUT, and I say with a big BUT, he then
goes on to say ―And yet I show you a more excellent way.
Please be reminded that this whole exercise is for us to take every
gift that God has given us, and to use it for the purpose of
encouragement and strengthening of others faith, within the
church and beyond the church walls.
1 Corinthians 12:29-31 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all
teachers? Are all workers of miracles? Do all have gifts of healings?
Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? But earnestly desire
the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.
And in the next chapter of Corinthians Paul expresses the more
excellent way, that being LOVE. And without Love no gift can work
as God intended it to work. Without love the only thing that drives
us is limited human passion. Without love we will be partial and
selective in what we do, share, and with whom.
Now that you have a clear view of your spiritual gifts, ask God to
help you know how He has gifted you for service, and how you
can begin to use these gifts in ministry to others. Quite often our
purpose walks hand in hand with the gifts God has given us. Allow
the Holy Spirit to illuminate areas where you can step forward and
be effective with your gifting.
