“But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit.”
I Corinthians 6:17
What is a natural talent?
They are natural abilities that God has given to every person.
What are the fruits of the Holy Spirit?
They are 9 character qualities manifested by the Holy Spirit in you as you partner with Him.
What is a spiritual gift?
It is a supernatural ability that is given by the Holy Spirit.
What is a spiritual office?
It is a person that Christ has given to the church to live out a position of spiritual leadership, oversight and empowerment.
Whether we are speaking of the talents, gifts, fruit or offices all can be used in the cause of Christ for the advancement of His kingdom on earth.
God desires to minister through you and I to others.
As we become His hands and his voice in the earth each of these: talents, gifts, fruit and offices are ways that He uses us in that reaching out to others.
Why doesn’t God just do it Himself?
He chooses to partner with us.
Perhaps it can be seen through the comparison of a “collector” or a “coach”.
A collector gathers his or her collection to themselves, perhaps displaying them or merely delighting in adding to their collection.
A collector “owns” his collection.
A coach inspires, motivates, trains, teaches, and equips his players.
A coach partners with the team and his goal is a victory.
God doesn’t collect you to put you on a shelf.
God calls you and partners with you.
His goal is victory in your life and for the team, His church.
Partnered for Victory!
