PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY by Pastor Joe Allan Baguiwa
(Romans 12:4-8 NIV)
4 For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
GOD gives us gifts so we can build up HIS church. To use them effectively, we must:
1. Realize that all gifts & abilities come from God.
2. Understand that not everyone has the same gifts.
3. Know who we are & what we do best.
4. Dedicate our gifts to God's service & not to our personal success.
5. Be willing to utilize our gifts wholeheartedly, not holding back anything from God's service.
Our role is to be faithful & to seek ways to serve others with what God has given us.
