What gifts might you possess that could be used in serving the Lord?
The gift that I possess that could be used in serving the Lord faith. Recently, I have been journaling and writing several desires in which I am trusting God for right now. In doing so, I have to put my trust in the Lord and believe in His word that my desires will come to pass in due season according to His timing. While waiting on the Lord, I have put my faith in God into action. The word of God tells us that if we have faith as the size of a mustard seed, we would be able to see a result from God.
I can truly say that having faith in God is one of my gifts as a believer. I have watched God answer my prayers and have also used this gift of faith to pray for others in my community. -

After Paul’s conversion, how was his background used to carry out his life mission?
-
Paul’s conversion was so powerful. Being educated, Paul was able to articulate the Hebrew scriptures. His Roman citizenship allowed him to minister without restrictions. He was the “Hebrews of Hebrews” which allowed him to enter the synagogues. Paul’s background allowed him to establish churches and teach Christians how to live.
-
Because he was Jewish born in the Gentile city of Tarsus it enabled him to talk about Jesus to both Jewish & Gentile people. The fact that he understood both people served him well in his ministry.
-
Because he was both Jewish and Roman, many doors were open to him that would not otherwise be opened. He was allowed to go to Rome because of his citizenship, he was able to teach in the synagogues because of his teaching under Gamaliel.
-
Paul’s background was essential to carry out his life mission because he prepared of his Jewish background and his persecution of the church. Besides this he was a Roman citizen and enjoyed privileges of being one. Paul was also well educated. It is documented that he was educated by Gamaliel one of the best scholars of his time.
-
After Paul’s conversion, he was used to carry out his life’s mission by spreading the gospel to the nations. Paul was not always a man after God’s own heart. He spoke against the Christians. He also killed a few Christians because of his unbelief. When he was on his way to meet someone, he was struck with blindness. This situation changed his life forever. God ministered to him and shared His love towards Paul. Paul was in a state of humility. In his humble state, he surrendered to God and used his testimony to spread the gospel.
