Everyone is made for something by God. All of us have good works assigned to us by God (Eph. 2:10). This message begins to explore how we know what we are made for by knowing our spiritual gifts.

1. Made for Good Works!
Discovering What God
Made Us to Do
“For we are His workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus for
good works, which God
prepared beforehand so that
we would walk in them.”
(Eph. 2:10)

2. We are responsible to use
well what God has given us.
Matthew 25:14-30: Parable of the Talents
5x5=10
2x2=4
1x0= Rebuke from the Lord

3. Gifts of the Holy Spirit
Each of us has them

4. Gifts Given to Serve as Part of the Body
“As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one
another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.”
(1 Peter 4:10)
“For
just as we have many members in one body and all the
members do not have the same function, so we, who are many,
are one body in Christ, and individually members one of
another. Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace
given to us, each of us is to exercise them
accordingly…” (Romans 12:4-6a)

6. Jesus Was Anointed to do Good Works: He is Our Model
"You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with
the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing
good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God
was with Him. ( Acts 10:38)

11. Self-Discovery Tips
•
Ask people to tell you who you are. Listen &
watch closely to what godly people say about
you.

Ask for prophetic words, write down and
keep in a three-ring binder. Prophetic Ministry
can “birth” new parts of you.
•
You are never too old or too young to learn
more what God made you for. It can change!
•
Be willing to fail. Experiment
•
Notice how God uses you now. Notice how
you responded to Him when you first met Him.
•
Be willing to obey God always. Keep growing.
