I Cor. 12:11 It is the one and only Holy Spirit who distributes
these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should have. NLT
We do not determine
who gets what gift(s) to use to serve Christ.
We don’t get to choose what gifts we want. We have no say in the matter whatsoever; it
is the Holy Spirit who determines the gifts we are given and distributes them.
The Spirit of Christ
is the wisdom center of God. He knows
each person and the unique role they play in the Kingdom of God. He knows the capabilities and personalities
of each person and distributes gifts accordingly. Each person is matched up with gifts that are
perfectly suited for him.
It is foolishness to
seek after gifts the Spirit does not give.
Whenever we try to do things that we are not gifted for, we will
struggle and fail. God does not honor
those who try to be who they are not created in Christ to be.
Be content with your
giftedness. Do not minimize it or try to
hide it. Do what the Lord has given you
to do in life with the tools He has given you.
Be thankful for the gifts you have been given and not envious of someone
else’s. Each of us will be held
accountable for our own giftedness and how we used them to bring Christ honor
and glory amongst men.
