Bible Perspectives: Gifts of Motivation
Lesson #10
“Using Your Gift in Your Job or Career”

• Discussion of each student’s personal computerized evaluation based on his test scores.
  • Remember that a person has only one dominant gift.
  • Scores that appear close to a student’s dominant gift show related strengths.
  • Scores that appear very low show a student’s weaknesses.

 

• To Develop, Enhance, and Use Your Gift Effectively:

 

• To Develop and Enhance Your Gift:
  • Like everything else in the Christian life, using your gift takes faith.
  • To develop your gift, concentrate on learning how to make it better:
    • Strengthen the weak areas and the problem areas that you marked under the description of your gift.
    • Determine to begin to practice using your gift with your brothers and sisters in Christ, even if there is criticism at first.
    • Become comfortable with your gift by use. The more you use it, the more you will develop your own style.
    • Study those in the Bible that have your gift to see how they used their gift.
• To Use your gift effectively, you will need the following attitudes:
  • A deep desire to serve God to the best of your ability.
  • A deep love for God’s people.
  • An attitude of humility.
  • Moral purity in your life.
  • Respect and tolerance of others and of their gifts.
  • A zeal for ministry.
  • Stability in your Christian walk.

 

• Responsibility to God:

 

• Every believer is responsible to God for your gift:
  • How you use it or misuse it.
  • How you develop your gift.
  • How you work to overcome the areas of weaknesses in the problem areas of your gift.
• You are not responsible for how your gift is received.

 

• Your Gift in the Work Place or Career:

 

• The following chart gives you the gifts and their compatibility to different jobs or careers.
  • If success in a job is highly unlikely for a person with a particular gift, the job has a double minus sign in the column under that gift.
  • If success is not likely, but there could be factors that enable a person with that gift to enjoy the job, the column under that gift is blank.
  • If success is possible for a particular job, the column under that gift has one asterisk. *
  • If success is very possible for a particular job, the column under that gift has two asterisks. **
  • If success is highly probable for a particular job, the column under a specific gift has three asterisks. ***
