to just talented believers. The whole Church was given this command...from sports broadcasters, telemedicine agents, special needs teachers, landscapers, window washers, administrative assistants, gas station employees…and more! The powerful truth of being “on mission” for God is that He calls us to be on mission in the exact place we are at with the exact gifts He has given us. God never calls believers to do things He hasn’t equipped them to accomplish.
GOD NEVER CALLS BELIEVERS TO DO THINGS HE HASN’T EQUIPPED THEM TO ACCOMPLISH. “ Whatever you have been given is a tool from God to help give you a greater impact in the kingdom of God! Don’t let gifting or talent hold you back from fulfilling your God-given, tailor-made purpose. This cannot be stressed enough; you were made for more than ordinary. Jesus proclaims it from every page of Scripture, and He proved it on the cross. So don’t “settle” for just using your gifts to have a normal life. Seek to use what God has given you to be extraordinary for Him. Don’t ever believe the lie of the enemy that you were created for anything less than to do great and wonderful things for God. Your main purpose in life is to glorify God and enjoy Him. Revel in the glory and purpose you have been given. God is alive, and He delights in the worship that is given to Him when His children use their gifts and talents to bring about more disciples of His Son! ARE YOU WILLING TO ACCEPT ANY ROLE TO FURTHER THE GOSPEL? 5 This final reflection is real, and we should search our hearts to see if we really will do whatever God may ask us to do. We have reflected on our gifts, and that is important because God does not waste talent. He has given it to you for a reason. I will borrow 5 points from a great resource entitled “XPLORE” put out by the Center for Mission Mobilization. This should help us understand what the “where” may be for you and me.
