Paul suggests in his letter to the church in Rome, that every adult that is (mentally and physically) able in the church of God, has a job to do for the church.
I quote from his letter, in Classic Amplified Bible speak:
Romans 12: 6-8
”6 Having gifts (faculties, talents, qualities) that differ according to the grace given us, let us use them: [He whose gift is] prophecy, [let him prophesy] according to the proportion of his faith;
7 [He whose gift is] practical service, let him give himself to serving; he who teaches, to his teaching;
8 He who exhorts (encourages), to his exhortation; he who contributes, let him do it in simplicity and liberality; he who gives aid and superintends, with zeal and singleness of mind; he who does acts of mercy, with genuine cheerfulness and joyful eagerness.”
Have you found out what bent/gift you have for service to the church of God, and have you been given the opportunity, even encouraged to exercise your gift in service to your brothers and sisters in the Lord.
I‘ve attached a tool that has been used by people to ascertain what their gift is. If you decide to make use of this, it‘s obviously important to answer the questions from the perspective of who you really are, and not what you might rather be.
I‘d appreciate feedback including any anecdotal experiences you may have had regarding these gifts of service, which are sometimes called Motivational Gifts, and their application in the church of God.
Shalom, Tony.
