Diverse Gifts for the Body of Christ
“Yet I wish that all men were like me. However each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.” (1 Corinthians 7:7 WEB)
You are not just another person.
You have your own gift from God, and He has also given you a calling. He designed each of us individually and in a personal way.
“For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot would say, “Because I’m not the hand, I’m not part of the body,” it is not therefore not part of the body. If the ear would say, “Because I’m not the eye, I’m not part of the body,” it’s not therefore not part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be? But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired. If they were all one member, where would the body be? But now they are many members, but one body. The eye can’t tell the hand, “I have no need for you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need for you.”” (1 Corinthians 12:14-21 WEB)
The apostle Paul used members of the body to represent believers with different types of gifts.
The foot can represent evangelists who bring the Gospel to the nations.
The hand can represent miracle workers and people who minister in gifts of healings.
The eye and ears could represent prophets and pastors who frequently see visions and hear from God.
It is definitely not limited to these body parts—God’s gifts are very diverse.
Each person has a different function in the body of Christ, and all of us are important in our own way.
Through your gift, you can do things that I cannot, and I serve a different purpose that builds up the body of Christ.
Declare: “I have a gift from God and a calling on my life. The Holy Spirit who distributed these gifts to me will also show me how to operate in them. I have an important role in the body of Christ. In Jesus’ name, Amen!”
