REF: Romans
12:8
……………if it
is encouraging, let him encourage, if it is contributing to the needs of
others, let him give generously, ………………..
COMMENT: Born
again Christians are given different spiritual gifts by God. Contributing to
the needs of others is a very important gift of the Spirit and here we are
urged to give “the gift of giving” a priority. We cannot help, but to give so
that we can receive. God has made it a rule to all human beings to give to others
so that the society can survive.
Although
giving is a spiritual gift, nobody is exempted from giving. Likewise, in evangelism, no born again
Christian is exempted from leading a non believer to Christ. In the same way,
you do not have to have the gift of celibacy to stay away from fornication. We
are all expected to act according to God’s law. The Ten Commandments must be
obeyed whether we have the gifts or not. The gifts are given so that we can do
more than the ordinary people.
PRAYER: Holy
Spirit! We thank you for your gifts to men of God in order to do more in God’s
kingdom than ordinary men.
