TOPIC: Spiritual Gifts For Church Growth

TEXT: Romans 12:3-21(NKJV)

Daily Fountain Devotional 5 October 2022 Message

Paul lists what can be called the gifts of grace which are rooted in the power given by God to each believer to fulfil various ministries in the church. They are inward desires as well as enablement given by the Holy Spirit to individual believers in order to build up the people of God and express God’s love to others.

Since the gifts come from God, there can be no basis for considering oneself higher than others or portraying a ‘holier-than-thou’ attitude. Paul likens Christians to parts of a human body: There are many members and each member has a different function. One’s primary gift does not exclude the exercise of any other gifts as the need may arise.

What kind of spiritual gift do you possess? How are you using it for the growth of the church? (Eph. 4:12). As devoted Christians, we must be devoted to one another as brothers and sisters in Christ with a sincere, kind, and tender affection. Christians have a social responsibility to one another (v.13).

We should be concerned about other believers’ welfare, needs and spiritual conditions, sympathising with them, and helping them in their sorrows and troubles. We must be eager to respect and honour the good qualities in other believers. Caring and sharing enhance church growth, spiritually, numerically, and financially.

PRAYER: Can you remember ever helping any Christian in need?
