R-12 - 3-8

R-12 - - this session focuses on Romans 12 - 3-8

Self - Assessment   -   Learning to be Humble in the Body of Christ

3    For by the Grace given me I say to every one of you:    Do not think of yourself more highly   than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, judgement, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.

4   For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function.

5 So in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.

6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. 
        - - -  If your gift is prophesying, then profesy in accordance with your faith;
7         - - -  If it is serving, then serve;   
        - - -  If it is teachng, then teach;
8        - - -  If it is to encourage, then give encouragement; 
        - - -  If it is giving, then give generously; 
        - - -  If it is to lead, do it diligently; 
        - - -  If it is to show mercy,  do it cheerfully.

The scripture Verse 3 says : 'take a sober assessment of yourself"

The Lord already sees 3 traits in you:
=========================
1.  You are Created by God                -  Psalms 139: 13-14
2.  You are Born Again           -  Romans 8:1   
3.  You are Spiritually Gifted   - Romans 12;6
4.  You are Shaped by Experiences   - Psalms 139:16
5.  You are a person of both Strengths & Weaknessess  - II Corinthians 12:9

We do NOT have to impress people.  We must learn to accept the fact that God created us - so we have Security in Christ !

We are ' beautiful' in God's sight.
We 'belong' to God - we are loved by God.
We are a 'righteous' person in God's sight.
We have a 'secure' relationship in Christ.
We are 'equipped' with the Holy Spirit.

God has gifted each one of His Children with a special gift - - we do not all have the same gifts.  What gift has God Blessed you with?

Make a list of 3 items each -
Your Weaknesses   and  Your  Strengths !
Your strengths will help you find your Gift from God.
Miraculously, God did not create us all with the same Gifts !
