Bible Question: Mark, So what you are telling me is not to "focus" on any specfic gift but God will show Himself thru me as the situation calls for? For God gives all gift according to His will and desire at that perticular moment am I correct , Chapter 12 of Romans is simply called in the NIV "Living Sacrifices" I have studied and read these books many times and continuly recieve a different meaning each time as if it is a bottemless well of knowledge. Maybe I am just thiristy as if my mind is a sponge. In short- Yes it did once again Help! I truely do enjoy having someone who doent know me from adam to speak and share views of the Word,no heated discusion or simple saying your wrong. Thanxs again - Tashina |
Bible Answer: Hi Tashina, That's pretty much where I am coming from. I think that as you grow more in ministry, you will tend to find yourselve ministering in certain ways more than others, and these will turn out to be the ways that God has gifted you, and you will be using those gifts. But think of the person who says "I have the gift of evangelizing", and that is all they ever seek to do. It would be a good thing they do, but what if God also called them to teach. The sheep will be saved, but not fed! If we simply set ourselves to love - by which I mean devote ourselves to the betterment of others - then we keep that door open, and we are ready for what ever work God wants to do through us. Living Sacrifices - that defines it. Your hunger and thirst for the Word is a joy to me! Love in Christ, Mark |
