Prepare: 'In the Christian life, doctrine and duty always go together'
Read: Romans 12:1-8
What is true dedication? Christian dedication involves three steps. (A) Offering our bodies as living sacrifice. The Christians; body is God's temple (1 Cor.6:19, 20; Rom.8:9). We should learn to count it a privilege to glorify God and magnify God in our bodies (Phil.1:20,21). (B) Offering our mind to God. While the world wants to control your mind, God wants to transform your mind (Eph.4:17; Col.3:1-11). To make you spiritually-minded through His Word (2 Cor.3:18). (C) Offer our will to God. We must learn to surrender our will to God through disciplined prayer, to know His pleasing and perfect will for our lives.
What are the essentials for Spiritual ministry? : Each believer has a spiritual function to perform within the body of Christ. Each believer has a gift (gifts) to be used for the building up of the body and the perfecting of the saints (Ephe4:11-13). Hence, each believer needs to know what gift (gifts) God has given him so that he can glorify God with his gifts.
What is your gift? Your gift is given, not to boast about it or to belittle others, but must be dedicated to God and used faithfully for the good of the body of Christ. For a Christian to minimize the gifts of others and emphasize his own gift is to deny the very purpose for which gifts are given. Spiritual gifts are tools to build up and not to tear down one another.
Respond: Lord Jesus, enable me to be a person who would always build others up and not tear down anyone.
