I'm so GLAD people are taking the test, and finding out where Jesus has placed them in the body of Christ!
I'm so happy you're benefitting from this!
Something my pastor told me when he conducted a seminar on Spiritual Gifts Analysis.
He said, REMEMBER,
a person who has THIS gift, and not THAT gift, doesn't make them any better or worse.
A spiritual gift is given by God for a REASON, to make the body work more efficiently.
If we look down our noses, or say, "you need more of this because I think you don't do that enough", you might just be saying the wrong thing.
A person who has the gift of administration, might misunderstand a person who isn't so organized, but, who has a strong gift of some other kind.
A person who is gifted by God in being and showing mercy, will usually misunderstand the intentions of an exhorter or a prophet.
A person who has the gift of giving might think of themselves as better than the person who doesn't tithe and open their wallet whenever any need exists anywhere.
We all should FIRST OF ALL, use our gifts to EXALT GOD.
To SERVE JESUS, and to BUILD UP THE BODY OF CHRIST.
That's why we were given gifts, to keep the other Christians strong and healthy.
Let's all keep that in mind, as we see each others gifts revealed.
If some of you don't mind, would you also copy the definitions of what your gifts are, so others can understand how you operate and build up the rest of the body of Christ?
THIS IS GREAT! I'm sooooo happy right now! :angel: :D :-D
