Learn to identify, connect with, and pull on the anointing in others around you—and they will do the same for you. Look for the treasure that God has placed in the people around you. Make every effort to draw it out of them.
1 Corinthians 12:4-7—There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all. There are different kinds of service, but we serve the same Lord. God works in different ways, but it is the same God who does the work in all of us. A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other.
Romans 12:5-10—And, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other. In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly. Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection,a nd take delight in honoring each other.
Ephesians 2:10—For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
