Be bold and courageous in the use your spiritual gifts

Good afternoon friends! I thank God for another possibility to share with you wisdom from God. Today I would like to continue on the lesson from the life of Joseph. Simply put, our main thought today is this: Be bold and courageous in the use your spiritual gifts. 
“Then the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison, had a dream, both of them, each man’s dream in one night and each man’s dream with its own interpretation. 6 And Joseph came in to them in the morning and looked at them, and saw that they were sad. 7 So he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in the custody of his lord’s house, saying, “Why do you look so sad today?” 8 And they said to him, “We each have had a dream, and there is no interpreter of it.” So Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me, please.” (Genesis40: 5-8).
 In the above passage we see how Joseph who has just been thrown into prison was exercising his gift to interpret dreams. He tooк a bold step and asked the people to relate their dreams to him because he was sure that God will give him the interpretation. And do you know what? God did exactly that, – He gave to Joseph the interpretation of these dreams. This is an example of how God wants us to be when it comes to exercising our spiritual gifts. We are to be bold and trust God to use us to impact life to others as we minister to them through our gifts.Belief that God will heal others through you therefore, exercise boldness and pray for the sick in faith. Belief God to give you a word of prophecy, of comfort and of encouragement for that person who is in desperation and fear, so open your mouth in faith and allow God to fill it with words. 
I am the LORD your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it” (Psalm81: 10).
The Bible is calling all of us to stir up the gifts of God inside us.
“Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2Timothy 1: 6-7).
This will require some elements of faith from us. First of all, we have to believe that the gifts are already in us. Secondly, we have to be bold and courageous to add some actions to our faith despite all fears. It is no secret that faith without work is dead. A friend, God’s word for you today is this: Be bold to use the gifts of God that are lying dormant inside of you right now.
  1. Begin to boldly interpret dreams for someone!
  2. Begin to bodly teach and lead a bible study group!
  3. Start a faith clinic and boldly begin to minister to the sick!
  4. Start the ministry of edification and encouragement by boldly declaring the prophetic message God has put on your heart to the people who need to hear them!
  5. Rise up to a new level in life by using what God has given you to bless others.
 Remember courage is not the absence of fear; it is the ability to boldly move ahead despite all fears. May a fresh spirit of boldness be released upon you from this day onward in Jesus Name! Till tomorrow Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

This form of accountability implies having a disciple or apprentice that you invest yourself into helping him to grow in God. This type of relationship means that a teacher is responsible for his disciple and the disciple submits to his teacher. It helps both teachers and disciples to grow in Jesus Christ and walk in submission to the Lord.
