Which workman are you? What “job description” did God give you when He invited you to come to the construction site of His church?
Romans 12:6 if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith;
Romans 12:7 or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching;
Romans 12:8 he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
These are the tools that we use to mend and build up, to equip and edify. This equipping (mending lives) and edifying (building up lives) is all part of fulfilling our calling in the Great Commission. Christ’s final words to us after His earthly ministry were that we invest our lives “making disciples”. The seven types of gifted people within the church deal with this entire process of discipleship as they mend and build up each other.
