Romans 12:4-8 – 4 Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5 so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. 7 If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; 8 if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.
What all these gifts have in common is they are areas we can use our strength to serve the Lord.
So many different areas we can all help out the Kingdom of God. There is not one person that can’t help. Everyone can pray if they are unable to do anything else. That’s why we are all going to be held accountable. That’s why everyone will be rewarded based on His love and devotion to our Lord.
One thing that a lazy generation has grasped onto when it comes to scripture is it is not by works that you are saved. This is one hundred percent true. However, many will use this so they never have to help out in the service of Whom they refer to as Lord.
God has given us all gifts. If you are cleaning toilets for the Lord, it’s better in the end than making millions for only yourself come crunch time. However, just as it indicates above, if one’s gift is to make wealth so they may meet the needs of others or give generously in the name of the Lord , that can be a gift. The individual needs to be strong though as the pull of wealth is strong.
You have a gift and God will show it to you if you are wondering what it is. Use it for your Lord.
