Created by Jesus to do His good works!

This subject is very important to anyone who wants to be a powerful witness for Jesus.

Many churches do not honor or respect the gifts of the Holy Spirit and claim they are no longer valid because of the life and ministry of Jesus. This is heresy and an insult to Jesus.

As a believer, the Holy Spirit begins a process to make you “Christ Like” with His core values. You will never be perfect but you can be equipped and anointed by the Holy Spirit to do the powerful works of Christ.

The love, wisdom and mercy of God will determine your role in the Body of Christ. Jesus knows you better than you know yourself. He will determine the perfect ministry for you along with the spiritual gifts.

We are instructed to be humble people without boasting in our position in the Body of Christ. Act with humility and demonstrate the measure of faith which God has given to you.

The Body of Christ has millions of members all with different functions and roles.

The Holy Spirit equips believers with gifts like word of wisdom, word of knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophesy, discerning of spirits, speaking in tongues, and interpretation of tongues. Jesus operated with all these gifts. The gifts draw people to the reality of Christ and change lives.

There are also gifts of ministry, teaching, exhortation, giving, leadership, and mercy.

God calls some believers to be an intercessor. Many times this is related to a biblical office. The gift of intercession is entering into the war between light and darkness. The Holy Spirit works through the believer to bring down strongholds and set people free.

Sometimes, God will give you several of these gifts or a diversity of the gifts. So think outside the box. There are no rules. God looks at your personality, strengths, and weaknesses in designing your role in the Body.

The Holy Spirit chooses some believers to serve in a biblical office. The offices include apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. The purpose is for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God.

If you are selected to one of these high offices you will experience calamities, pain and suffering.

The gifts and biblical offices cannot be influenced or controlled by a believer. You can ask God to equip you with a gift or an office but the ultimate decision is up to Him.

God measures a believer by his faith, obedience and commitment to Jesus in selecting a role in the Body of Christ.
