Scripture: Romans 12:7-8 NIV

"If it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.”

Testify

The road to uncovering your gift is not always a lonely conquest, often times

it takes support from others. Like in an army, each soldier has an individual

skill to contribute to the mission, but it is the duty of the drill sergeant to organize and orchestrate how to effectively conquer. Without the Sargent’s orders, things would be disorderly and chaotic. Leaving soldiers to fight the battle in whichever way they deemed appropriate. A spiritual army is likewise needed to assist you in uncovering your gifts, so he gives an administrator to provide order and harmony.

Edify: Gift of Administration

In a biblical context, "administration" refers to the wise stewardship and management of resources, people, and tasks within the church. Emphasizing order, leadership, and servant leadership. Servant leadership is needed to effectively accomplish God's work. Therefore, the scripture says whatever your calling, do it and do it well. Be mindful, should you need assistance in uncovering your gifts, find the one with the gift of administration. They can assist and lead you to your destination.

Apply

God gives some the spiritual gift of administration in order to help organize those with other gifts and keep the church functioning at its most efficient way. It is a group effort to accomplish God’s mission for the church. It’s timeto join forces and get in formation as the army of God.
