2Ti 1:6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
Every believer has a function to perform and a duty to fulfill in the body of Christ. God has graciously granted every person a spiritual gift in order to edify and build each other. Unfortunately, many gifts remain unidentified and therefore unused .
Paul exhorted Timothy to fan into flame the gift of God that was resident in him. He knew that if that gift remained inactive, his ministry would also be ineffective. A call to stir up did not mean that Timothy had let the ” fire to go cold ” but it was a call to avoid sluggishness and remain vibrant.
Every believer has been given the necessary spiritual and natural gifts to do the works of God. We have an obligation of keeping them alive ; keeping the flame burning. For a vibrant church, fellowship and ministry, each one of us must develop and use the gifts God has given us. ” For this reason, I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God in you.”
