Do the thing in front of you.
There is a big movement in the modern church that requires the Christian to identify his or her own gift, and then plow into that function, and only that. Romans 12:6 is often used to justify this position.
While we are instructed to do the thing we know we have been appointed to do, there is nothing to say that the Servant of the Living God is to do nothing else.
The problem with the modern church is that the exercising of a Gift is being presented and encourged as self-expression.
This is contrary to God's Word. The gifts are for the encouragement of others. Moreover, those who are ministering by prayer are always willing to do the thing that is most needed.
The Soldier of The Cross is wiling to express the thing that comes by supernatural power and gift, and he is also willing to clean the dirty toilet, visit the one who is not being visited, and is available to do the very thing that he is least inclined to do.
You are either a Servant or you are not.
You are either available or you aren't.
You either have to express yourself in the area of your preference, or you are willing to be a Living Sacrifice.
The Apostle Paul was a tremendous speaker, scholar and leader. Yet, during the period where he is beaten, in disgrace and abandoned by many, he declares the value of the chains he is wearing for the sake of the Body of Christ and the release of The Gospel.
He who has a Servant's heart does not hold out for the job that most expresses him. The Servant does the job that is before him whether or not he thinks he is gifted, whether or not he is repelled, whether or not anyone recognizes him.
Soldier, tell Him you are available.
Aloud. Today.
