Introduction
Do not neglect the gift which is in you, [that special inward endowment] which was directly imparted to you… (1 Timothy 4:14a AMPC).
Each of you has received a gift to use to serve others. Be good servants of God’s various gifts of grace (1 Peter 4:10 NCV).
The Lord’s power and presence are evident in spiritual gifts, with the purpose of effecting physical, emotional, mental, and/or spiritual healing, as well as to bring about revival.
For Christians, this assessment is a tool to reveal your spiritual gifts. The results will show you how these gifts can strengthen your bond with God, enable you to serve His people in a truly authentic way, and add meaning to your life.
God purposefully created you with your unique qualities because He has a specific role for you that only you can accomplish. To grow in true spiritual maturity, base your life of service on your spiritual gifts.
Using your God-given gifts for His service erases the line between the secular and the spiritual.
