WHAT ARE YOU CONTRIBUTING TO THE KINGDOM?

“As every man hath received gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” - 1 Peter 4:10 KJV

The Samaritan woman, often labeled a sinner in John chapter 4, demonstrated the power of using what you have, even before being formally equipped. After encountering Jesus, she went out alone to share the gospel. The Lord never instructed her to go to Samaria, nor did He wait for her to attend Bible school or learn Hebrew and Greek. She simply acted with what she knew: “Come and see the man.” She returned to her city and boldly proclaimed the message, giving her all. When you truly encounter Jesus, holding back is no longer an option.

Similarly, the young boy in John 6:9 willingly offered his five loaves and two fish. He did not hesitate or worry about his own needs, trusting that Jesus could multiply what he had. He gave his lunch, and it became more than enough, twelve baskets were left over. His faith demonstrated that nothing placed in Jesus’ hands is ever lost.

Consider the story of the man from Gadara in Luke 8:26-39. He lived among the tombs, destroying himself piece by piece, untamed and tormented. Yet, upon meeting Jesus, his mind was restored, and he desired to follow Him. But Jesus commanded, “Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee.” The man obeyed and went throughout the city testifying to the mighty works of Jesus in his life. His story reminds us that our encounters with God are meant to produce action and testimony.

Many believers today sit passively in churches, contributing nothing to the advancement of the Kingdom. They proudly declare their denominational affiliation but fail to impact the world with the message of God’s grace. As a recipient and beneficiary of God’s manifold grace, what is your input? How are you using your talents, connections, and resources to expand His Kingdom?

Every gift you have is a tool to minister, to bless, and to demonstrate the power of God’s grace to others.

Further Reading: Acts 20:24, Romans 15:19.
