Discover and Develop Your Spiritual Gift
June 18, 2017
Ponder This
May I say that the world is saturated with ignorance on the subject of spiritual gifts? And the devil wants to keep you ignorant. But you are a gifted child. If you are a child of God, if you are born again, you have a spiritual gift.
The problem is, we are not all that interested in spiritual things. I’m not talking about a gift of money, beauty, or fame. If I were to tell you how to have a brand new automobile, some of you would get out your pen and begin taking notes.
I have often heard it said, “Oh, we are so heavenly minded, we are no earthly good.” But the truth of the matter is, we are so earthly minded, we are no heavenly good.
What a tragedy to fail to understand that you have a spiritual gift. If you want real joy and fulfillment in your Christian life, I will tell you how to have it. Get right with God, then discover, develop, and put to work your spiritual gifts.
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
