Gifts of Grace
In ministry, our “gifts” are called gifts because a Giver gives them to us. That Giver is God. God has given us gifts based on His grace, not gifts that we have earned, but gifts that we can receive and operate in through reliance upon God’s goodness
Because these gifts are not of us, but rather gifts that have come from the Father:
- We have no basis for promoting ourselves
- We should complement one another without feelings of envy or jealousy
- We should look to God for how He wants His gifts to be used
- We should rely upon God for the power and wisdom to administrate His gifts

Memory Verse:
Revelation 2:4 “Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.”
The Importance of Priorities
Many leaders/preachers have lost their business/ministries because they were unable to keep priorities in their lives. Countless lives of people have been hurt because their leader did not keep priorities.
Many leaders have ruined relationships with their spouse and their children because they were unable to keep priorities. Some children have even turned their back on God and success because they blame business/ministry for the tearing apart of their family.
It seems like such a simple truth to understand; yet so many leaders have failed to maintain this principle. Leaders continue to fail in this area. Why?
