SHE’S WEARING MY SKIRT! Have you ever gone shopping and purchased a beautiful skirt (women) or handsome suit (men) only to arrive at an event or church and someone else is wearing the same outfit?! A month ago, I bought a really “diva-licious†skirt. Man it looked great. I attended an event and what did I see, someone else wearing “MY†skirt! “What is this? Man, I should have worn something else.†When I thought about it, I smiled because we both looked good in the skirt. And it only proved that we shop at the same store. After all, that store had more than one skirt in that style and color. That skirt came in different sizes to fit different people. But we both looked good in OUR skirts! In the kingdom of God, we sometimes believe our callings and spiritual gifts are ours alone. We feel “no one else around me has MY giftâ€. So, we make sarcastic remarks towards each other such as: “You are just trying to be like me†“Why are you doing what I do?†“Find your own calling†And my all time favorite: “God didn’t call you to do that. You are out of order.†These attitudes demonstrate that we fail to realize it is the SAME SPIRIT that has called some apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers. Not ONE person but SOME people. (Ephesians 4:11) You may have heard of this referred to as the five-fold ministry. More than one person has what you have. Why? Because we all shop at the same store. (or at least should be) Ephesians 5:11 Be ye imitators of God… I should not be offended by your calling and you should not be offended by mine because we are imitating God not each other. If our ministries are similar in any way (as if we are wearing the same clothes) it is because we are shopping at the same store. God is the original pattern (source) from which all garments (ministries) are made. Below is the description of my calling as a minster. It is the personal ministry mission statement that God gave me; therefore, I have confidence in Him of this calling. As a result of the redemptive work of Jesus Christ in me, And being led by His Holy Spirit, for God’s glory God has called me to: EDIFY the body of Christ (instruct to improve) EQUIP the saints with God's word to do good works ENCOURAGE the non-believer to be reconciled to God thru the work of Jesus Christ. Do you have to have personal ministry mission statement? If not, it creates a foundation and keeps you rooted and grounded in God so that the winds of doctrines, traditions, people’s opinions do not blow you away nor uproot you from your purpose in God through Christ Jesus. And guess what, none of this can be done without God. Salvation is an humbling experience and we must continue to humble ourselves for the rest of our lives. Being led by His Holy Spirit means it has nothing to do with you and your agenda because it is all about God’s glory and we should acknowledge Him and give Him thanks and praise for all things. (Ephesians 5:20) So, if what I do looks the same as what you are doing, then to God be the glory. We are on one accord and need to keep shopping at the same store! But wait, there’s more... There’s a flip side to every coin. The other extreme is when you purposely covet another person’s gift. Don’t desire to BE another Juanita Bynum or another T.D. Jakes. Be who God has called YOU to be. You may be called to teach an adult Sunday School class but you want to be over the Youth because you see that the Youth teacher gets more accolades and attention and you want that for yourself. (Read Romans 12 – the entire chapter). Walk in your calling and wear your own garments because the all come from the same store…the same Spirit, the same God. Seek your kudos from the Lord, not from other people and not to please yourself. RESIST THE TEMPTATION to judge another’s use of their gifts and calling RESIST THE TEMPTATION to want or desire those same gifts and callings. Remember, in all that we do, we should be diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. (Ephesians 4:3) PRAISE GOD AND AMEN! Lord, whatever You say do, I WILL !!!
