Using what God gave you Graeme Sterne 2005

Every ability you have was given to you by God They were given not just to make a living but for ministry to other people What you are is God’s gift to you; what you do with yourself is your gift to God God deserves your best. He shaped you for a a purpose and He expects you to make the most of what you have been given. Matthew 25:14-30

Understanding your shape S = Spiritual gifts H = Heart A = Abilities P = Personality E = Experiences

Spiritual Gifts How do you discover them? Spiritual gift inventories are of limited value – standardized, interpreted by denominational bias. Some people discover them through being told by others (word of knowledge)

Discovering Spiritual Gifts The best way to discover gifts is by obeying God when He asks you to do something. ( John 7:17 - Obedience leads to enlightenment ) Until you’re actually involved in serving it will be difficult to know what you are good at Other believers will confirm your gifting

Heart What do you enjoy doing most? When do you feel most fully alive? What are you doing when you lose track of time? What are you most excited about?

Abilities Encouraging Music Calculating Practical serving Leading Managing Counselling Administering Coaching Teaching Selling Research Governing Miracles Faith Cross cultural literacy

Personality C = Conscientious A = Amiable R = Relational D = Dominant

Experience Your experiences are unique People don’t always learn from experience People are always more encouraged when you share how God’s grace helped you

Summary: Use what you have (don’t wait for training) Do the best you can with your gifts Don’t just use them on your job Discover your unique SHAPE Be obedient to God and see what happens
