Gifts Given To Be Given

Ezra 8:28 "and I said unto them,Ye are Holy unto the Lord;the vessels are holy also;and the silver and gold are a freewill offering unto the Lord God of your fathers"


We musty believe in being a faithful steward.Our health,strength,and money all come from God.God gives us guidelines for how He wants His gifts to be used to benifit individuals and the building up of His kingdom.We should pray,worship and take the having and using of God's gifts seriously,and to realize that we have these gifts and talents to use for God's plans and His glory.

As a Christian everything we possess comes from God.He ask that we use all that we have or own in a manner that honors Him and brings Him glory.We can safely say that He also wants us to set aside a portion of everything we have solely for ministry.The word of God ask for 10% of our first fruit to be consecrated unto the Lord.Even the skills we have, that we use in the secular world to earn a living should also be used to the glory of God.After all, He is the one who blessed us with the skills and the jobs we posses.Our spiritual Gifts should also be use in the edification of the body and for  the glory of the Lord. Everything we are and all that we have should be used to glorify our Father which art in Heaven.

God expects us  to use what he has given us in ways that align with his will and purpose.He wants us to obediently use the gifts,abilities,talents,and resources He has given each one of us,to bring Him glory and honor.They are gifts given to be given that he might be honored in all we say,do,and have.
