Yet for a season you're challenged by the needs of your local body, your church, to step into the lead role and steer the ship. Now you're making large-scale decisions for everyone involved. You're shepherding your fellow leaders and managing the chaos of community. You have less time to prep for teaching. You're ability to soak in the word is diminished, quiet time has been replaced with meetings and resting in grace has become a searching for it.
In several places, Paul and Peter both describe the various roles, offices, gifts of the Spirit that EVERY believer is intrinsically given upon entering into the Kingdom in the here and now. Though many of us never discover these gifts they are there, at least one and probably more.
I teach - among other things. I believe that teaching is foundational to my role in the body, my response to the Lord and my interaction with Truth.
I am not naturally a pastoral figure. Nor am I a kingly type leader. Evangelism...well my beard tends to scare people off before John 3:16 even enters the room.
I don't have All of the gifts ascribed to the body. But depending on the need and the season I am capable of stepping in and being filled with all the riches of the Spirit in order to equip the saints.
Following Christ is an All/But journey. We are all living sacrifices but we spend a lifetime shedding the old habits of the world.
All of us have at least one spiritual gift we can be confident in. But many times we need to step into other roles for a season simply to love God and love our neighbor. For many of us the experiences we share in all the different roles afford us the knowledge to discern what our strengths truly are.
There are many tools, tests, surveys, books, classes, programs you can partake in to discover your spiritual gifts. Yet if you're active in a local church I would challenge you to first study the Word and secondly to seek the wisdom of those who know you best who might be able to inform you or at least point you in the direction of you giftings. Either way, true confirmation is in the fruit of the Spirit.
If you've found your strengths you've probably found a lot of peace in your role in the body. If you haven't there's a good chance you're regularly burned out, frustrated and under-joyed...I challenge you to evaluate once again who you are in Christ.
All/But.
Read Ephesians 4:11-13 for one of several lists of gifts. Reasearch the 'one-anothers' in the Text as well for practical ways to be fruitful as you discover who you are in the Kingdom.
