1Co 12:4-5 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
\nThere are differences of ministries, but the same Lord.<\/p>\n
Have you ever pondered of how things would be in our places of worship if all believers did exercise their gifts ? Imagine of how things would be if the singers sang, the teachers taught, pastors pastored, evangelists evangelized, the prophets prophesied etc A congregation endowed with gifts of faith, workers of miracles , gifts of healing, administration , word of knowledge , wisdom etc would be the choice of many.<\/p>\n
Many believers have been heard complaining of a cold church, sermon, a cold this and a cold that. Before we point an accusing finger to any one, we need to ask ourselves how we have contributed to the current state of affairs.<\/p>\n
If all of us did what we were supposed to do, our congregations would be a replica of the early church. It is only in the cemetery where we have songs that were never sang, sermons that were never delivered, encouragement that was not given, churches that were never planted, faith that never worked and miracles that never happened. <\/p>\n
Jehovah has given you that gift for the edification of His body. Remember we will give an account of how we utilised it.<\/p>\n
