Why do we neglect our gifts?


 
1 Timothy 4:14(NKJV)
Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. 

Why do we neglect our gifts?  I think more than anything else because it takes time and effort to not do so.  I really think it falls to the 80-20 rule like everything else.  20% of the people make the world happen while the other 80% watch the world happen.

Only 20% have the discipline and drive necessary to make things happen.  It's not that the others can't, it's that they don't bother. 

So how do we make sure we are in the 20%?  I would say first and foremost be in God's Word and actually put it to work in your life.  Then the second thing is make a decision to make it so.  Thirdly, continually thank God in your prayer life for making it so. 

Now let's go exercise those gifts!
