THE PURPOSE OF GIFT
1 Peter 4:10 “As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.”
A child would often receive toys as gifts. Whatever he’ll do with the gifts he received is within his disposal and would likely result to the misuse of these gifts. Hence, those leads to premature breakdown of said gifts. But then, when a child goes through the accompanying instructional manual, which the maker of the toy has given, there, he will see the details of the hows and whys of the toy. Only then, will the toy be fully enjoyed and last long if instructional manual is observed to the letter.
In the same way, God has given us instructions, on how we are going to use the gifts He gave us. God commands us to serve others, by helping one another, especially those who are in need. Let’s use our talent, skills, and other God given abilities accordingly, as He purposes them to be used. The purpose of the gifts, is to give glory to the maker, to lift Him up and not to uplift ourselves.
Can we check on the purpose of our God given gifts?
Are these gifts being used according to His purpose?
