What are my gifts? I can't sign, I can't draw and be a famous painter, I'm not good enough in sports, I don't have a high IQ that would put me in the class of a genious, I can't write a novel, or be a great speaker. I don't have anything that shows up as a gift or a talent. What in the world are my God given gifts or talents? Some people are multitalented. I am not one of them.
Those gifted people are able to show how God's gifts have benefit them. It is plain to see for the world. These people are highly coveted by film makers, book publishers are others who seek to profit from their wonderful gifts. These people become famous and well paid. Once someone gets hold of them and is able to profit from their God givent talents or gifts.
But I am not one of them. I will never be rich, nor famous. I just an average person with average intelligence. I have been evaluated by the business world as average. No big deal kind of person. Yet, I know I have some gifts, I just wish I know what they are. Every person that is born has a certain amount of talents or gifts.
I know about the Spiritual gifts, not to be confused with human talents. Every believer in Christ has one spiritual gift at a time. A spiritual gift is different, is a special ability given by God for His
glory and kingdom. Some believer have the gift of a powerful ministry. But that is not to say that all ministers should have a ministry because it is clear that not all ministries are worthy of God's aproval for God has not given that person that special gift and that person has taken it upon itself to form a ministry. In a kingdom not everybody can be king some have to be servants.
I must get busy serving God and the church and He one day will reveal to me my special spiritual gift. It will be obvious to me and then I can use it for the glory of God and his kingdom. I know that serving God will bring great joys but also great pain for when ever you deal with people you will encounter the positive and the negative of human behaviour.
One day God is going to ask me what I have done with the gifts he gave me and I am afraid to say, "well I..., ah, ah, ah," and won't be able to answer him. I am really scared of that!
