January 10 Devotion - You Are the Messenger

We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; ⁷ if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; ⁸ if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.

فَكَذَلِكَ نَحْنُ الْكَثِيرِينَ جَسَدٌ وَاحِدٌ فِي الْمَسِيحِ، وَكُلُّنَا أَعْضَاءٌ بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ. ⁶ وَلكِنْ، بِمَا أَنَّ الْمَوَاهِبَ مُوَزَّعَةٌ بِحَسَبِ النِّعْمَةِ الْمَوْهُوبَةِ لَنَا، (فَلْنُمَارِسْهَا): فَمَنْ وُهِبَ النُّبُوءَةَ، فَلْيَتَنَبَّأْ بِحَسَبِ مِقْدَارِ الإِيمَانِ؛ ⁷ وَمَنْ وُهِبَ الْخِدْمَةَ، فَلْيَنْهَمِكْ فِي الْخِدْمَةِ؛ أَوِ التَّعْلِيمَ، فَفِي التَّعْلِيمِ؛ ⁸ أَوِ الْوَعْظَ، فَفِي الْوَعْظِ؛ أَوِ الْعَطَاءَ، فَلْيُعْطِ بِسَخَاءٍ؛ أَوِ الْقِيَادَةَ، فَلْيَقُدْ بِاجْتِهَادٍ؛ أَوْ إِظْهَارَ الرَّحْمَةِ، فَلْيَرْحَمْ بِسُرُورٍ

I believe that God intends for us to maximize our potential—to become the man or woman He created us to be and to use all of the talents, abilities, and gifts that He has placed within us for His glory and the advancement of His Kingdom.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, I pray that out of Your glorious riches You strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being to use all of the talents, abilities, and gifts that You have placed within me for Your glory and the advancement of Your Kingdom.  I pray that Your heart will rejoice in what You have done in me. Thank You Father God for loving me with a deep and everlasting love, thank You for Your abundant blessings in my life, and for the riches of Your grace upon my life. In Jesus’ mighty name I pray. To Jesus be the power, the glory and the dominion forever and ever, and unto ages of all ages. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,
