Spiritual Gifts Paper
PART ONE: What are your top two spiritual gifts? Do you agree with the results? Why or why not?
The results of my Personalized Spiritual Gifts Analysis show that Administration is number one followed by Exhortation. I agree with the outcome of this analysis. I’ve always been a natural leader and find that others trust me in leadership roles. If I am with a group of people I automatically assume the position of being a leader when no one else will. I feel that I am especially great at doing this when the people don’t know each other and I help everyone to work together. It is fun and motivating for me. It develops me as an individual when I have others counting on me. I take a lot of pride in knowing that the outcome of a situation is directly affected by me. Of course, that sometimes means accepting responsibility for failure and learning from your mistakes.
My second most dominant Spiritual Gift is Exhortation. This means that I like to encourage people, work wel with others as well as one-on-one and have a “get it done” attitude. I agree with this Spiritual Gift for many reasons. As I was reading the analysis it talked about how I need to be careful not to interrupt others. It was very ironic to read as I tend to jump into conversations while others are speaking because I am excited about the topic. There was one part that I disagreed with. It said that I am very “serious-minded, orderly and able to explain how to apply God’s word.” I feel that these are area’s I am weak in and need to work on.
PART TWO: Specifically, how can you use your gifts at this time? How might you misuse your gifts? Be specific.
There are good and bad things I can use my Spiritual Gifts towards in life. For Administration I see myself applying this to my work, personal and spiritual life. My title at work is Director of Social Marketing. I have to manage employees under me to make sure they not only get
