About a year and a
half ago I took a test administered by my church that is based on these
verses. The test is designed to help us
identify, interpret, and apply those gifts which God has chosen specifically
for each of us. It was really
interesting.
Romans 12:3-8(NKJV)
3For I say, through the grace given to me,
to everyone who is among you, not to think of
himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God
has dealt to each one a measure of faith.
4For as we have many members in one body,
but all the members do not have the same function,
5so we, being
many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.
6Having then gifts differing
according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our
faith;
7or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in
teaching;
8he who exhorts, in exhortation;
he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows
mercy, with cheerfulness.
Here is how my
scores turned out. The higher the number
the stronger that gift.
Admin 77%
Admin 77%
Exhort 19%
Give 82%
Mercy 5%
Perceive 70%
Serve 61%
Teach 73%
Isn't it interesting
how God makes us all different and yet equips us with the strengths and gifts
we need to all be effective together?
