What are your top 2 spiritual gifts? Do you agree with the results? Why or why not?
My two top spiritual gifts were showing mercy and teaching. I never realized showing mercy was a gift, but not that I know it is it makes sense in so many ways. I have always felt God blessed me with an abundance of compassion and empathy. I never dreamed that it was a spiritual gift. I would jokily say” I guess God gave me such a big heart because I was born on Valentine’s Day.” I have a heart for the lonely, poor, broken, lost and hurting people. My second top gift is teaching. That comes a s no surprise. From the moment I came t a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, I was ready to teach. I had a passion to share Gods love and word with kids and youth. I believe

What better place to use my gift than in the nursing field. I work in a pool position at the hospital but my full time position is with Hospice. Most nurses will not work in this specialty. A lot of people ask me “how can you see people die every day isn’t that depressing?’ I can honestly say I do cry, but I know my gift of mercy is needed there. Whether I listen, give a hug, or I’m a shoulder to cry on, I know I make a difference in my patients and their families’ lives. God blessed me with this gift so I can help people at one of the hardest, saddest times of their live. My favorite part of nursing is educating my patients. That’s why I continue to work at the hospital. I like to think I can help empower them to make the best choices in their healthcare. Teaching is a very important part of nursing. Without educating and teaching patient their chances of having a positive long term outcome would be minimal. In the area of the church I teach creative ministry. I love to teach drama, dance and interpretive movement. I like to teach non threatening ways to bring glory to God and prayfully see people get saved. Although I can use these gifts to honor God, I have to remember it is God that gives me the talents to do these ministries. As a mercy giver I have to be careful not to get discouraged when I don’t see results in people or programs. I have to keep in mind, God will provide the growth. Also since my top gift is compassion, I have to be …show more content…

My two lowest scores are gifts and serving. I can’t say that I’m surprised. I love to give to people but my tithe always seems to be a struggle. I will do well for several months then I will have a big expense come up, and my tithe will suffer. So that’s an area God is working on with me. The same goes for service, I don’t have a problem helping out but it’s not one of my strong areas of ministry. What impact does this knowledge have on your involvement in
this paper is to inform the reader in what we have been learning in this short amount of time since the class started. But what I want to really focus on today is a variety of things; I will be addressing the importance of establishing priorities in ministry; the roles of character, integrity, compassion, vulnerability, and dependability as they relate to pastoral ministry.

Discovering who we are and how God called us to lead with our own set of unique gifts, talents, and personality, so that the kingdom of God can be built up has been a focus of this class thus far. “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” (1 Peter 2:9, NIV) God has a unique plan for each of us, discovering how we fit into that plan can be challenging and
I prepared a summary of The Circle of Profit, a book by Anik Signal. Who is Anik Signal? He sold many digital products, together worth over 100 million dollars.

reads “For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that every hour what you ought to say” This verse clearly shows us that the Holy Spirit was also sent to teach us. The Holy Spirit teaches is to stay wise and on top of the tricks of the enemy. That is another reason why the Holy Spirt grieves when we sin because he teaches us things and when we fall short of his teachings he grieves. The Holy Spirit reveals things to us through his teaching. Luke 2:26 says “And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit

Christians advocate the use of spiritual discernment in order to guide the decision making process. Properly interpreting the will of God for one’s life is at the heart of each of our choices
According to “Hamlet” a speech stated by Hamlet “Frailty, thy name is woman!”( Act 1, Scene 2, line 146). And in this case the term ‘Frailty’ defines as weakness or a fault resulting from moral weakness. Every single creature in the earth was created with weakness. So, it is natural to have weakness among human characters. On the other hand, it is not something immoral or reprehensible to have weakness in one’s character. No individual can deny the fact that they have weakness because it will make
