I'm headed to the church to teach CLASS 301: experiencing personal ministry. It is a seminar that helps a person find their fit for ministry. We discover our SHAPE for ministry. SHAPE stands for:
Spiritual giftsHeart
Abilities
Personality
Experience
By looking at these you can begin to understand how God has uniquely developed you to fit into His kingdom. I love teaching this class.
One thing we have to be careful of is that the Holy Spirit does the calling. We can understand how God has made us but we also have to listen to the direction of the Holy Spirit. He may call us to serve in a ministry that does not fit us or he may stretch you by getting you out of your comfort zone. I believe we search for our place in His kingdom and listen to the voice of our Lord. When we do both, there is a good chance of discovering where God wants you to serve.
