Topic: HE IS ALIVE 6: We Are Gifted
MEMORY VERSE:
Matthew 28:6.
“26. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”
BIBLE READING:
Ephesians 4:8.
“8. Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, AND GAVE GIFTS UNTO MEN.”
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ and His ascending to heaven released unto us gifts to function in our calling. He never left us empty while returning to His father, He gave men gifts.
Ephesians 4:11-12.
“11. And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12. For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:”
Yes, He gave the Five fold ministry as we fondly call it. May I let you know that, you possess one of those gift Christ gave to us all. The five fold ministry is given to all believers to profit with. How do I mean? In the past, you were an unbelievable, then you weve saved. You are to reach out to others like you who are yet to accept Christ as Lord and Saviour, and bring them to Christ. We all need not to have a pulpit to be a pastor, an evangelist, teacher, prophet or an Apostle, the grace is upon us to reach out according to what we’ve been endowed to do. When Jesus sent out the seventy in Luke 10, they were not His apostles but His followers, and verses 19 said, he gave them power to trampled on all other powers. So, the great commission is for all believers not for some specific person. You have the gifts in you laying dormant and untapped. Function in your space to bring others to Christ, you don’t need a pulpit to do this, the grace is upon us all.
Good day and God bless you.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
