different kinds of tongues.
Maximizing God-given

• Rom 12:6-8
We have different gifts, according to the grace
given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let
him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is
serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him
teach; 8 if it is encouraging, let him
encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of
others, let him give generously; if it is
leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is
showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.
Maximizing God-given

• Eph 4:11-12

Leading Self
Maximizing God-given Abilities
It is of critical importance that Leaders get
away to strengthen their God-given gifts
and “lean into” these gifts to accomplish
the work of the ministry. Otherwise
leaders get lost in the business of “life”
& ministry.
Expressions of Maximizing One’s
God-given Talents
• Exceptional output & results (God’s
blessing is evident)
• Experiencing increased Joy in
ministry/work
• Sense of “resting” in God’s provision
