This is to continue until we all reach unity in the faith and knowledge of the Son of God, resulting in a mature man with a stature reaching to the measure of the fullness of Christ.

Ephesians 4:13, EHV

The spiritual gifts that our God gives are not for the benefit of the person receiving those gifts to enrich himself, but for the benefit of the people to bring to faith in Jesus Christ. We have seen the abuse of the spiritual gifts that God gives by those who utilize them to enrich themselves, but we see how many over time have fallen for the pride that they have in themselves. Spiritual gifts are not meant to bring pride, but humility. Humility comes in the realization that these gifts are not something created in the person by his own power, but through God who fills and fulfills His will in the lives of His chosen. Spiritual giftings and callings are for the glory of God and when used with humility reveal the Son to all as He is seen more than the one who has been gifted. To abuse such gifts has a cost and a consequence. As faith is attained by all of Christ’s chosen the gifting of pastor, teacher, or evangelist will no longer be of need and will pass away. When the fullness of creation has come to fruition, all will know the love of our Lord and the faith that we hold will be complete in everyone who is a follower of Christ. Until such a time, God will continue to call those to teach, preach, and evangelize to every home, place, and all God’s chosen are called home. In this, we find our hope and in this, we find our peace.

Let us pray. I thank you, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, your dear Son, that you have kept me this night from all harm and danger, and I ask you to protect me this day also from sin and every evil, that in all I do today, I may please you. For into your hands, I commend myself, my body and soul, and all that is mine. Let your holy angel watch over me, that the wicked foe have no power over me. Amen.
