God’s Call to Ministry- Part Seven: Giftedness-Prophesy
-
Paul’s letter to the Romans offers some potential areas of giftedness. You may resonate with one or more of these traits. Prayerfully read through each one, and define how God has wired you…
-
“. . . If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith.” (Romans 12:6)
-
A prophet understands the desires of God’s heart. He communicates this truth with passion of conviction and compassion for the people. If you are a gifted prophet, you are not afraid to confront sin head-on, especially the sins of injustice and hypocrisy. You defend the rights of the unborn or any group of people who are oppressed or in bondage. Your boldness may increase around inauthentic authority since hypocrisy is the target of a prophet. You have the ability to discern the motivations of the heart and confront the speaker with riveting questions and logic.
-
Most prophets are disliked, especially by those who are the object of their truth. However, after they have been proven right, they are admired by those who are teachable, and even their enemies come to respect them. Speak the truth in love if you are a prophet. If you are not a prophet but know one, listen and learn. You will be a better follower of Christ for doing so.
