A purpose is to serve.

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand
in advance so that we can put them into practice.

When created by God, He always thought about different purposes for the life of each one of us, and
One of those wonderful purposes is to serve Him; at the moment of creating us in Christ, He was looking at the...
good works that we must practice, he set everything in our being so that we can achieve and obtain that
purpose for which we were created.

We are not on earth just to breathe, eat, take up space, and have fun. God formed us
individually so that we could make a unique contribution with our lives.

2 TIMOTHY 1:9 Bible of the day.

He is the one who saved us and chose us for his holy work, not because we deserved it but because it was in his
plan.
you are not saved by good works, but to do good works. In the kingdom of God, you have a place, a
purpose, a role and a function to fulfill. This gives great value and meaning to your life. Once you
You have been saved, God intends to use you in His plans. He has a ministry for you in His church and a mission in
the world.

For Christians, service is not optional, something to be included in our schedules. It is the heart.
of the Christian life. Jesus came to serve and to give, and those two verbs can also define your life in the
earth. Serving and giving, in summary, are one of God's purposes for your life, in serving there is
satisfaction and gratitude to God, in one way or another serving Him is a way of glorifying Him and
exalt him.

1 Corinthians 12:6 NTV

You must understand that in those different forms you are included, I am impressed that each of those who
we are here we are totally different, the day the Lord created us He broke the mold and made you unique.

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

You are a handmade work of art by God. You have not been manufactured in
a production line, neither assembled nor produced in quantities

he.
At times the challenges of service are many and to be honest some may think that we are not
qualified for that task, and perhaps it is true that in our humanity we are not ready, but in our
eternity everything has already been delivered to be able to fulfill the task, it is a vote of confidence that God gives us
by allowing us to serve you.

God does not waste anything. He would not give you skills, interests, talents, gifts, personality and
experiences unless I intended to use them for his glory. If you identify and understand those
factors you can discover God's will for you. The Bible says you are wonderfully complex.
You are a combination of many different factors. Five of these important factors form the
acróstico: “F.O.R.M.A.”
When God decided to create you, He determined exactly what you would need for your unique service. To this
an exclusive combination of skills is called to shape or give FORM:

Spiritual training
Opportunities
Resources
My personality
Background

Spiritual formation. God gives each believer spiritual gifts to use in the ministry. They are
special abilities that God gives to believers to serve Him. Spiritual gifts are a gift, not
they can be obtained or deserved. They are an expression of God's grace for you. You cannot choose the gifts
whatever you want to have, God is the one who determines it. He did not give us the same gift to everyone. On the other hand, no
the individual receives all the gifts. Your spiritual gifts were given to you not for your own benefit but for
the others, just as theirs are for your benefit. When we use our gifts together, we all
We benefit. That is why we are sent to discover and develop our gifts.
spiritual.

Opportunities. The Bible uses the term heart to describe the bundle of desires, hopes,
interests, ambitions, dreams, and affections that you possess, in short, your opportunities. Your heart is the source of
all your motivations, what you love to do and what matters most to you. Your emotional heartbeat is the second
key to understanding your way of serving. When you serve God from the heart, you serve Him with enthusiasm and
Effectiveness. Discover what you like to do, what God has placed in your heart, and do it for His glory.

Resources. Your resources are the natural talents you were born with. Some people find it easy
natural with words. Others have innate athletic abilities, they are excellent in physical coordination.
Others are good at math, music, or mechanics.

To use our talents in service, you need to understand four truths:

All our resources come from God.
Every resource can be used for the glory of God.
What I am capable of doing, this is what God wants me to do.
If I don't use them, I'll lose them.

My personality. He created each of us with a unique combination of personal attributes. God makes
the introverts and the extroverts. Those who love routine and those who like variety. He does
thinking and perceptive people. Some work better when assigned an individual task
while others work better in a team. There are no 'correct' or 'wrong' temperaments in the
ministry. We need all kinds of personalities to have a balance in the church and add flavor.
Background. You have been shaped by your background in life, your experiences, most of the
which was out of control. God allowed all of them for his purpose of shaping you. To determine
Your way to serve God must examine at least six types of experiences: family,
educational, vocational, spiritual, ministerial, and painful. It is this last category that God
use it most of the time to prepare for your ministry. By the way, the greatest ministry
will arise from your greatest pain. The experiences that have hurt you and left you feeling resentful the most in life,
The ones you have hidden and forgotten are the ones God wants you to use to help others.

2 Timothy 2:15 NIV

Make an effort to present yourself to God approved, as a worker who has no reason to be ashamed and that
interpret the word of truth correctly.

The best way to live your life is by serving God according to YOUR WAY, for which you must
discover your gifts, learn to accept them and enjoy them so that you can develop them to their fullest
expression.

God wants you to discover your particular shape. Start to find and clarify what God wants you to
be you and do it. First, evaluate your gifts and resources. Then, consider the opportunities and your
personality. Finally, examine your background and extract the lessons you learned.

God wants you to accept your form. Since God knows what is best for you, you must accept it.
Gratitude for the way you were made. Your form was sovereignly determined by God for His purpose.

none is called to do them all. Each one has your defined roles.

God wants you to enjoy the form He has given you. Satan will try to steal the joy of service from you.

GALATIANS 6:4 (PAR)

Do your own work well, so that you then have something to be proud of. But do not compare yourself with
others.

God wants you to develop your form. God expects us to make the most of what he has given us.
Yes. We must cultivate our gifts and skills, keeping our hearts burning, growing
in our character and personality, expanding our experiences so that we become more and more
effective in our service. Remember, in eternity we will be serving God forever. But now

1 PETER 5:5 (PAR)

True servants are faithful to their ministry. They finish their tasks, fulfill their responsibilities,
they keep their promises and fulfill their commitments. They do not leave their work half-done or abandon it
when they get discouraged. They are trustworthy and responsible. True servants maintain a low
profile. They do not promote or draw attention to themselves. If they are recognized for their service, it

The true ones do not serve for the approval or applause of others. They live to be famous only for God.

Servant mentality

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus

Philippians 2:5 (NIV)

To be a servant, you must think like a servant. God is more interested in why we do things than
in what we do. Servants think more of others than of themselves. They focus on others, not on
themselves. This is what it means to 'lose your life,' forgetting yourself to serve others. Jesus
he emptied himself taking the form of a servant (Philippians 2:7 PAR). You cannot be a servant if you are full
of yourself. Only when we forget about ourselves can we do things that deserve to be
remembered.

The only thing required to be such servants is that they be faithful to their master.
Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.

The servants think about their work, not about what others do. They do not compare, criticize, or compete with others.
servants or ministries. They are very busy doing the work that God assigned to them. The true servants
they do not complain about injustices, they do not live lamenting nor do they resent those who are not serving. Only
they trust in God and continue to serve.

The servants base their identity in Christ. Since they remember that they were loved and accepted by
grace, they don’t have to prove their worth, they don’t feel threatened by 'inferior' tasks. One of the
the most touching examples of service is the very image that Jesus shows when he washes the feet of his
disciples. Servants think of the ministry as an opportunity, not as an obligation. They enjoy
helping people, meeting their needs and carrying out their ministry. They serve the Lord with joy
God will use you if you start to act and think like a servant.

If we accept our way and make the most of our resources to the highest level, we will be able to give a
special service to God.
