TEXT: “Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them:..” (Rom 12:6a)
OPENING PRAYER: “Father, I recognize the transformative power of your Word. As I read today’s Morning Tea Devotional, I ask that your truth penetrate my heart and mind, transforming my life and shaping my destiny, in Jesus name – Amen.”
Be aware that God is interested in us making profit in life. He is committed to teaching our hands to profit this month and always, as stated in our anchor scripture for the month, Isaiah 48:17. However, it is vital that we understand what constitutes true profit and how to experience it in all aspects of life.
As a reminder, we established yesterday that knowing your purpose for living is the first step to enjoying profit in life. This divine purpose is also referred to as your divine assignment or destiny. It is within this divine assignment that your profit in life is guaranteed.
What else?
- IDENTIFY YOUR GIFTS
Your gifts, in this context, refer to your talents or skills. These gifts, talents, or skills serve as the tools for fulfilling your purpose. Your gifts could be spiritual, such as the gift of healing or prophecy. It could be physical such as a creative or musical ability. It could also be mental, such as an intellectual or teaching ability, or great leadership skills. The Bible says: “Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal” (1Cor 12:4-7).
When you understand your assignments in life, you won’t have to look far to identify the necessary gifts needed. Although they may be raw and unrefined, requiring development, they already exist within you. All you need to do is discover and cultivate them.
Don’t let limitations hold you back! Many successful people didn’t come from privileged backgrounds, but they tapped into their inner strength through prayer and determination. Pls, don’t bury your talents due to background, time, resource, or financial constraints. Rise above the challenges and unleash your potential.
What are you naturally good at that can benefit your community, nation, or the Church? That’s your unique gifts. Identifying and harnessing them is the pathway to experiencing true profit and fulfillment!

Ask a trusted friend or, better still, seek God’s guidance through prayer to know your gifts.
