Power-Filled Living


Imagine living and accomplishing all the things you ever dreamed of doing. Perhaps you wanted to climb Everest, parachute over Hartebeestpoort dam, own your own company, nurse the sick, be a professional sportsman, be the best parent to your child, write a novel, paint a dramatic picture or whatever wonderfully inspiring thing you dreamed.

Well, Scripture says that we can do all these things!
1 Corinthians: 12: 1-11 speaks about the gifts (talents) that are given to every believer. Some are given gifts of healing, some gifts of miraculous powers and so on.
Couple these gifts to our natural abilities, personal style and passions and you have the perfect recipe for Power-Filled Living. It is only when we discover all of these, that we will be enabled to understand what our unique purpose and contribution to God’s creation is.
Scripture says we are given the gifts as determined by the Holy Spirit to enable us to fulfil our God-given purpose for our lives. Although Paul was teaching about the gifts used to glorify God and to edify (encourage moral living), there is no doubt in my mind that once we live in this way, the benefits will spill over into every area of our lives and we will be able to accomplish more than we ever dreamed possible.

POWER-FILLED LIVING IS PURPOSE-DRIVEN EXISTENCE.

Do you know what your gifts, passions and unique style are?
Are you wanting to live with purpose and meaning?
Then take the following steps:

1. Make sure that you are able to claim – Jesus is Lord of my life:

And

2. Pray that the Holy Spirit will reveal them to you and join a course
such as Network, which will enable you to discover your servant
profile.
