After a long weekend, today is workday again.
Last Sunday, our pastor preached about greatness in the kingdom of God.
I learned the following points:
1. God gave us gifts for us to use in serving and blessing other people and to glorify Him.
2. Gift is an inborn/built-in talent, a seed of greatness and freely given by God. This is something that we are passionate about. While skill is something we can acquire by training
3. Those who run from responsibilities, they will lose the opportunity to be great because they will not be able to refine their gift
4. Work is different from job. It is about becoming the person that God wants you to be. It is about fulfilling your divine assignment.
5. Job can be used to refine our gift
6. Refining our gift will lead to greatness
7. We can lose our job but our gift is irrevocable.
8. Purpose, skills, talent and gift -> we all need these things to fulfill our work/divine assignment
Proverbs 18:16
"A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before the great."
Application:
We need to discover and refine our gift. Moreover, we should use it to serve others and glorify God. Embrace every opportunity to develop yourself so that you can give more value to people around you.
