"Who I Am"

 

"We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is

  prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith.  If it is serving, let him serve;

 if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is

contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership,

let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully."

(Romans 12:6-8)  (See 1 Cor. 12 for spiritual gifts)

Natural and Spiritual Gifts

Seer{eyes}  ~  Mercy{heart}  ~  Ruler{head}  ~  Ministry{hands}

Teaching{mind}  ~  Exhortation{voice}  ~  Giving{arms}

We are the body of Christ, born with natural gifts to bless others

all around; some are Seers/eyes

These are those with insight to size up people and situations; there

is no gray in them; they are quick to apprise

 

 

The Mercy/heart people are like those who give gifts of milk from

Milk From the Heart program

They have a heart likened to the One we serve, the Lord of Lords

and Kings of Kings, the Great I AM

 

 

Sheep must have a Shepherd, and herein is the Ruler/head, who

directs our path, and watches on the wall

He guards the sheep with all he has, protecting from the wolves,

and even from themselves, troubles to befall

 

 

The body must be touched with anointing from above, and this

comes from those of service, and of Ministry/hands

They touch the sick, and lay their hands upon the weary souls,

who just need someone to loose the bands

 

 

Many today are like the Apostle Paul, who are very detailed in

writing, and armed with a Teaching/mind

They live to impart the knowledge they have gained to all who

will listen, and become a product in kind

 

 

This is Nicholas Vujicic, who was born with no legs or arms; he 

 travels the globe, an Exhortation/voice

He's a preacher of the gospel spreading hope from a broken body,

but a golden soul, a rarity in earth's noise

 

 

The body of Christ couldn't make it without the ones who give, of

not only wealth, but their loving Giving/arms

They're like the Good Samaritan who binded up the bleeding, paid

his debt, and rescued him from further harm

 

 

We're the body of Christ, with natural and spiritual gifts

from birth and rebirth, to be the extension of the Lamb

To a waiting hurting world, who wants us each to determine,

within ourselves, the question of "Who I Am."
