There is no lack of work in the Church.
I often hear speeches and sermons on the exercising of the gifts. Some are good and others make me cringe. When listeners become obsessed about having to figure out how they are spiritually gifted, they are usually derailed. Often Believers focus on what they like, what they can do easily, or what they wish they could do.
When a Soldier of The Cross pitches in and shoulders the load, it is not hard to see what the spiritual gift is. The spiritual gift is to be exercised within the context of the Body of Christ and is not intended for exclusive enjoyment of the gifted. Those who serve the Lord do the things that must be done. A fussy worker is not a Servant and is always restricted by his own attitude.
Is it more glamorous to preach than to mow the lawn or clean a toilet? One who is a pillar in the House of The Lord is one who is available to do whatever is needed, if it is within his ability.
The gifts issue forth and become evident when the heart belongs to the Lord and the Believer is available to lay his life down for others. When there is room for the Holy Spirit, He will always be manifest.
Soldier of The Cross, He is not gained by works, but those who know and Love Him are eager to take on work that must be done.
One thing at a time. One person at a time. One need at a time.
All by prayer.
