What's Your Job

What’s Your Job?

1Pet. 4:10 ¶ God has given gifts to each of you from his great variety of
spiritual gifts. Manage them well so that God?s generosity can flow through
you. NLT  

What are you good at? Nine times out of ten, what you are good at doing can
be used for the Kingdom of God. Your gift that you possess can richly add to
a ministry that is spreading the Gospel. It would be a shame for you to be
talented in an area and only use it for money, or for your secular job. God
is the giver of good and perfect things, not the enemy, so you should be
using your gift and talents, not only for your secular job, but also to
build the Kingdom of God. Many times we spend years in prayer over our
purpose and our God given plan to find what it is that God wants us to do
for his benefit. But if you look into the Word of God, you will find that
the purpose He has for us is built into us from our conception! Look at God
choosing the 12 disciples.
Each one he chose had an occupation that was used for the Kingdom to benefit
from. The fisherman, became fishers of men. The Tax collector became Jesus’
accountant. Even Jesus, who was a carpenter by trade, became the chief
builder of the Church of God! So, what are you good at?  

Why are you just giving your services for money and not using it to benefit the
Kingdom?
Don’t you know that you could add so much to a ministry, a church, or a non
profit helps organization? I know sometimes we see feeding the poor,
clothing the homeless, or street preaching as the only true means of
evangelism and missions but everyone in a ministry, church, or helps
organization is important. And the lives that we touch are credited to
each and every active member. You are a Christian, so use your gifts and
abilities to
help others. Even when there is no money involved, you should still want
to sow your gift and talents to bless others and God will always credit you
for being a blessing.
