When God Makes The Dream Work
1 Corinthians 12:1-7 NIV
12:1 Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters,
I do not want you to be uninformed.
2 You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other
you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.
3 Therefore I want you to know
that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says,
“Jesus be cursed,”
and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,”
except by the Holy Spirit.
4 There are different kinds of gifts,
but the same Spirit distributes them.
5 There are different kinds of service,
but the same Lord.
6 There are different kinds of working,
but in all of them and in everyone
it is the same God at work.
7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given
for the common good.
How to see God work in your team
Know your GIFTS and know your NEEDS.
(Verses 1-3, 4, 7)
Use your GIFTS to serve another’s NEEDS.
(Verses 5, 7)
PRAY with expectant faith & give God the GLORY.
(Verse 6)
God loves to work among a people with expectant faith and exuberant praise.
D.L. Moody quote and response to Henry Varley:
“The world has yet to see what God can do with and for and through and in a man who is fully and wholly consecrated to Him. With God’s help, I aim to be that man.”
Verses about using your gifts to serve others on a team where God is at work.
1 Peter 4:10-11 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
