November 17, 2010 ~ Gifts By Grace


TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:

“We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us...”

Romans 12:6

TODAY’S WORD:

God has given each of us gifts, and He’s given us the grace, the supernatural power to operate in those gifts. In other words, if God has called you to do something, He has equipped you by His grace. I recently have undertaken implementation of new media into our worship experience...a new screen installed, new projector and flat screen as well as both having all hymn lyrics shared, scripture and video of our complete service. Technology has been a gift in both my professional and personal life, but this challenge is now crossing into my spiritual life as well.

I now find need to call out for help in this task as the yoke is not as easy as in other parts of my life. I've seen this time and time again over the last 16 years of my ministry. When God places the right person in a particular part of His ministry team things go places you never thought possible and it is better than good. Please join me in prayer for what it is that God is calling you to do.

Please rest assured that if it is by His Grace your gifts will do great things.

Scripture says that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. That means when we are doing what we are called to do, when we are operating in our gift, there will be an “easiness” about it. That doesn’t mean there won’t be any opposition. It doesn’t mean there won’t be obstacles or that it won’t take effort on your part. But what it does mean is that you will have a supernatural empowerment to do it. It will just come naturally and flow out of you.

Selah people' and friends if you are doing something that always seems hard, always seems heavy and drains the energy out of you, you might want to spend some time in prayer before God and see if that’s really what He has for you. Just because it’s a “good” thing doesn’t mean it’s a “God” thing. But when it is God, you’ll know it. You’ll feel His supernatural grace empowering you and refreshing you every step of the way.

OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:

"Father God, thank You for empowering me to live by Your grace. Help me to discern what You have for me and let go of anything that isn’t Your best for my life. I love You and honor You in all that I do. In Jesus’ Name. Amen."

In Christ service,
Patrick
