Dear friend, as the Bible says in I Corinthians 12:27, "All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it." How wonderful it is to know that we are part of Christ’s body, hidden in Him.
For any ministry to thrive, it’s essential that all of us, as different members, work together. God has uniquely designed each of us to fulfill specific roles, giving us different gifts to operate in unity. Some may boast of having the greatest gift, while others may feel theirs is the least. But dear friend, never think that way! Each gift, no matter its size, is vital to God’s plan. He has placed you in this ministry with a purpose, and the gifts He has given you are according to His will. There is only one Holy Spirit but many spiritual gifts. It is the Holy Spirit who empowers each of us to use our gifts effectively, distributing them as He chooses.
As we read in I Corinthians 12:8-10, "To one, the Spirit gives wisdom; to another, knowledge; to another, faith," and so on. The Lord distributes these nine gifts individually to each person. So, do not hide or neglect the gift God has given you. When you don’t use it, the entire body of Christ suffers. The body depends on you!
Use your gift whenever an opportunity arises to serve Him. When I first entered the ministry, feeling weak and unsure, I sought prayer from my father, Bro. Dhinakaran. That day, the Lord spoke to me through prophecy, saying, "My child, do not say you are weak. The more you use the gifts I have given you, the stronger you will become." And indeed, as I exercised the gifts of the Holy Spirit, I found my strength increasing, just as the Lord had promised. Now, I never hesitate to serve Him.
Dear friend, remember to use your gifts whenever you can. As you do, God will look upon you and say, "Well done, good and faithful servant. You were faithful over a few things; I will make you ruler over many." You are a vital part of Christ’s body, joining with others in the ministry to serve and love the Lord. Don’t hesitate or doubt yourself by thinking, "I am nothing. How can I minister before God?" Step forward, give yourself to God, and earnestly pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit. God is not stingy—He is generous and willing to bless you with all nine gifts of the Spirit! Today, pray to receive these gifts and become a strong member of the body of Christ. You are not serving a mere earthly master; you are serving Jesus Christ Himself. You are a part of His body.
Dedicate yourself to serving the Lord. You have a wonderful opportunity to join the ministry at the Jesus Calls Prayer Towers and intercede for others. As you offer yourself to God, He will empower and use you for His glory. Don’t hesitate. Step into your calling, exercise your gift and serve the Lord with confidence. God bless you!
PRAYER:
Dear Lord, I thank You for making me a member of Your body. Please help me to understand and embrace the unique gift You have placed within me, knowing that it is for Your glory and the good of others. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and guide me to use my gifts effectively whenever the opportunity arises. I pray for the wisdom, knowledge, and faith that come from Your Spirit, and I trust that You will empower me as I step forward in service to You. Remove any doubt or hesitation from my heart, and remind me that I serve You, the greatest Master of all. I surrender myself to You completely, trusting that You will strengthen me and lead me in my calling. Help me to always honour You with my gifts and let Your name be glorified through my life. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
