Stewards of God’s Grace
1 Peter 4:10-11 As every man hath received the gift, [even so] minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
If any man speak, [let him speak] as the oracles of God; if any man minister, [let him do it] as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
As ye have received the Gift, even so minister the same one to another.
We are responsible for the Gift of God’s grace that has been given unto us.
For the edifying of the Church and the building up of the body.
The more we exercise the Gift of God in our lives the stronger the Gift will operate in our lives. Bible says to earnestly desire the Gifts. Using or being obedient unto the Gift that God has place in our lives. Gives glory to God. We honor God, by honoring the gift that He has given us.
He who ministers let him minister according to the grace and faith that has been distributed unto you. Learn to flow in the anointing. Learn to follow the leading of the Spirit in your life. As you learn to step out in faith, know that the Father will be please with your expression of His love for you, and placing value upon the Gift and grace of God that has been bestowed upon your life.
Let not another man hinder you in your gifting. Walk in humility, and the Gift of God will make room for you. Will give opportunity for you. I remember when I first desired the gift of prophecy and exhortation. I was very shy and did not speak out in public.
But I so wanted to be used in the gift of God, and wanted to glorify God in my life.
I did not want to displease God, by being disobedient, and being fearful.
Bible says to not quench the Spirit, Do not despise prophecy.
We honor one another and glorify God as we open ourselves to the Holy Spirit and give Him full access to our hearts and lives. Be ye filled with the Spirit. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Jesus said, that out of your belly will flow rivers of living waters. These waters are the overflow of the blessing, gifting of God in our lives.
And he wants these rivers of living waters to be healing to the nations.
God wants to speak to the hearts and minds of his people. And how can he speak if we do not give him our voice and heart to declare the mighty works of God, and His deep love for his people. Stir up the gift of God, Fall in love with the saviour Jesus Christ and desire to be like him, desire to be pleasing to the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Let the voice of God and the heart of God have first place in our live.
And as we are faithful in ministering the Gift of God, distributing the gift and favor of God upon others. You will find that God gives the increase. Increase in knowledge and wisdom, increase in compassion for others. Increase with a desire to be close to God, to please Him, to give him full reign in our lives.
Lord shall reward you for your faithfulness.
As I tried to explain earlier, I asked the Lord in my prayer time to use me in the Gift of prophecy, I wanted the Love of God in my life, and I wanted the people to be edified with the heart and love of the Father. And God made a way for me, even in my beginnings, in my childish ways, He is faithful. He started to use someone in the meetings to speak with the Gift of tongues, and them the Lord would give me the interpretation. I would begin to hear the voice of God in my mind, these words would begin to speak to me and continue to repeat themselves. Until I decided to release them to the Church, I believe they were like a fire in my heart. The heart of God wanted to be release to love and comfort his people. As time went by I began to feel the glory of God, and grew in confidence in Gods gift in me. I began to start to prophecy in meetings with only the prompting of God. I did not always need the Gift of tongues in the meetings to stir up my faith.
See as we are faithful to God, we edify the body, building up one another, and strengthen one another. So that the other person will begin to operate in the Giftings of God.
Greater is He that is in us that he that is in the world. The anointing of God upon your life will enable you to hear the voice of God, give you a new heart to seek after God.
Let’s desire to be a God pleaser. Walk in faith and love and see the Gift of God operate in your life.
Lord has a plan for your life, a plan for good,
Peter
