"As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God." (1 Peter 4:10 KJV)

We've seen that our gifts are God's ability in us, which He has given to us for our profit, the profit of the Church and a blessing unto the world, which ultimately bring Him all glory.

But all these benefits of your gifts which are your own profit, the profit of the church, the blessing of the world and of course the glorification of God are realized only when we develope or nurture the gifts in us and put them to work.

But all these benefits of your gifts which are your own profit, the profit of the church, the blessing of the world and of course the glorification of God are realized only when we develop or nurture the gifts in us and put them to work.

A gift lying dormant in you, will neither benefit you, nor the church, nor the world, and it will never bring glory to God.

This is why our devotional text declares to us that "As every man has received the gift, even so minister the same, one to another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God." Hallelujah!

Thus, your gifts have been given to You by God as a gift of trust and God expects You as a good steward to put them to work, and not as a bad steward to hide them or allow them to merely lie idle, knowing that it is by putting those gifts to work that you, the church and the world benefit from them, for God to also receive His Glory

So from today be conscious of the gifts and abilities of God in you and put them to work for your benefit, the benefit of the Church, and the benefit of the world, so that God will be glorified in your life in Jesus name. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!

Prayer/Declaration
Heavenly Father, I thank You for reminding me of the importance of putting Your gifts which are in me to work. I declare that I'm conscious of these gifts in me and I effectively put them to work for my profit, and the profit of the Church, and the profit of the whole world and God is highly glorified in my life in Jesus name. Amen!
