Lesson 50: Body Ministry / Section III: Kingdom Ministry Through The Church

Paul list 7 differing gifts here and each has an important function. I call these motivational gifts, but some refer to them as gifts of grace because Paul opens up this list up by saying we have gifts that differ according to the grace of God given to us. The reason I call them motivational gifts is because they motivate or move us to do what we do. Our gift explains why we do things the way we do and once you understand yourself then you can expand your gift. You then can coordinate, cooperate and network with others for greater effectiveness. When a person discovers their motivational gift they will better understand themselves and be able to use it. Self-discovery is probably one of the greatest challenges we have in life. What am I called to do? What is my purpose? What are my gifts? I think these are basic questions that each of us ask from time to time in searching for purpose in this life. ‪@FoundationPublications‬
