Know Your Gifts: Use Them
Tuesday, July 4, 2023Key Verse
“A man’s gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men”(Proverbs 18:16).
Text — Matthew 25:14-30
Message
Gifts or talents are special abilities or endowments given to everyone born into this world. These gifts must be diligently discovered, faithfully used to glorify God and for the benefit of mankind. Without knowing your gifts, life can be confusing. In this vein, Casey Treat wrote, “We spend our whole life frustrated because we are trying to do something that we are not talented or gifted to do.” Do you know your own gifts? As Christians, God also imparts spiritual gifts to us for the work of the kingdom. So, stir up the gifts of God in you and be on fire for the Lord.
Wake up the sleeping giant in you to serve. Those who refuse to use their talents to serve God will surely pay dearly for it on the Day of Judgment. Joseph’s gift brought him before Pharaoh to God’s glory. Discover your gift today. Develop it and use it to serve humanity and to win souls for God’s kingdom. Your gifts will also open doors of success for you if you use them in accordance with the will of God.
