John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Beloved,
Jesus is God’s gift to the world but the gifts of Jesus to the church is His word, the Holy Spirit, and men. To benefit from them to a great degree, you must know how to relate correctly with each of these gifts. It means anytime you come across any of these gifts, you must be able to
recognize and identify them, and define your personal relationship and interaction with each of them.
Some of these gifts are resident gifts while others are mobile gifts. Concerning the gifts of men, it can be subdivided further into functional relationships and organic relationships. As a way of explanation – clothes can be taken off one’s body; the clothes can therefore be said to be
functional. But your arm as a part of your body cannot be detached, therefore it is organic for your body.
You must be able to identify which relationships in your life are functional and you must know how to respond to them and receive from them, and how to take that which you have gotten and add it to what you already have accordingly.
You must equally be able to know relationships that are organic in nature. There are certain things you must learn under your natural or spiritual father. You shouldn’t come to a ministers’ conference hoping to learn such things. In other words, there is an environment where
something is being built and developed in you and on the other hand, there are environments where something is being added to you. It is your responsibility to recognize and maximize such
platforms.
I commend you to God and the word of His grace.
I call you NATIONS. I call you blessed.
