Basic Principle for this Series We are all created to be MINISTERS

Basic Principle for this Series Your ministry is determined by your S.H.A.P.E.

Discovering My Unique SHAPE u ABILITIES The Bible says in Job 10:8 “God’s hand shaped me and made me.” For a purpose!

Understanding your ABILITIES: “ God … will equip you with all you need for doing His will.” Heb. 13:21

Understanding your ABILITIES: “ God has given each of us the ability to do certain things well.” Rom 12:6 We all have different abilities. We all have different shapes.

Understanding your ABILITIES: My Abilities are to be used TO HONOR GOD. “… whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” 1 Cor. 10:31 (NIV)

Understanding your ABILITIES: My Abilities are to be used TO SERVE OTHERS. “God has given each of you some special abilities; be sure to use them to help each other, passing on to others God's many kinds of blessings.” 1 Peter 4:10 (LB)

Understanding your ABILITIES: My Abilities are to be used TO MAKE A LIVING. “Remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth…” Deut. 8:18 (NIV)

Understanding your ABILITIES: My Abilities are to be used TO BE AN EXAMPLE TO OTHERS. “Put these abilities to work. Throw yourself into your tasks so that everyone may notice your improvement and progress.” 1 Peter 4:10 (LB)

Understanding your ABILITIES: My Abilities are to be used TO FINANCIALLY BLESS OTHERS. “Begin using your hands for honest work and then give generously to others in need.” Eph. 4:28

Understanding your ABILITIES: My Abilities are to be used TO BUILD UP THE CHURCH “Why is it that God gives us these special abilities to do certain things best? It is that God’s people will be equipped to do better work for Him. Building up the church, the body of Christ, to a position of strength and maturity.” Eph. 4:12

Understanding your ABILITIES: Using your Abilities: 1. YOU ESTIMATE THEM “Try to have a sane estimate of your capabilities by the light of the faith God has given you.” Romans 12:3

Understanding your ABILITIES: Using your Abilities: 2. YOU DEDICATE THEM “Offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God, dedicated to His service and pleasing to Him.” Romans 12:1

Understanding your ABILITIES: Using your Abilities: 3. CULTIVATE THEM “If the axe is dull and its edge is unsharpened more strength is needed. But skill will bring success.” Ecclesiastes 10:10

Understanding your ABILITIES: In Luke 12:43 Jesus said this: “When the Master comes back and he finds his servant doing his work, [In other words what you were gifted and shaped and able to do] that servant will be blessed.”
