Event:
Simon the Sorcerer
S - Scripture
Acts 8 v. 18-19 Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying
on of the apostles hands, he offered them money, saying, "Give me also
this power, that anyone who I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit."
O - Observation
Quit looking around. Quit trying to compare yourself, your gifts with others.
The comparison game will always leave you wanting. The comparison game really
is a focus on self. We need to realize that God has a plan to mesh your gifts,
your skills with others to make a perfect team. 1 Corinthians 12 .12, "For
just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body,
though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. " So if we must look
around, it should NOT be to compare but how to compliment, connect, grow
become unified.
A - Application
Do you see how you can complement your skills with someone else? Then do it!!!
P - Prayer
Jesus, Help me to find people to compliment me to grow a stronger body for
you. Love Will
If you do not know what your gifts are or even what the gifts are please take time to learn about them and find out which gifts are yours because the Lord wants to bless you with your special set of gifts.
ReplyDeleteRegardless if you know what your giftings are or not please continue to encourage and build each other up.
1Thessalonians 5:10-12
He died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we may live together with Him. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up just as in fact you're doing. Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you.
The Lord died for us so that we could be with Him. The gifts matter only because they are His special blessings to us. This walk this journey of life is hard and what matters is that we encourage and support each other.
