Take time to go through
this questionairre and read the relevant help material. Go right through
until you get the assessment of your test and then come back here to continue.
From your results
take time to separate MOTIVATIONAL from MANIFESTATIONAL giftings. For this
teaching material we are more interested in the MOTIVATIONAL giftings.
(2) Your Main Gifts.
What are your main two or three MOTIVATIONAL giftings ? (note: in this test it also states the Ministerial Gifts - if you score high in these (Apostle, Prophet, Teacher, Evangelist or Pastor) it may not mean you are the OFFICE but have this gifting as a MOTIVATION that may lead to the OFFICE (Full-time calling)).
Please note that various gifts were left out in the test which may be one of your main ones (such as MIRACLES and HEALINGS - you will find it very obvious if you have a ministry in either of these areas because of the dramatic results seen).
(3) Relating Gifts To Calling.
Start to relate these
main motivational gifting to what you believe your calling to be. You will
find God has equipped you with gifts that match His calling on your life....
For example: If
God is calling you to train up believers in His word in a specific area
the main gifting needed would be 'Teacher' , this is the most effective
gift for this task.
Group or Individual Activity: Think about / discuss the MAIN MOTIVATIONAL or MINISTERIAL gift needed for the following specific calls..
(a) A person called of God into hospital ministry - helping practically and caring for the sick.
(b) A person called to help out in the Church office arranging the filing system and helping in the structuring and ordering of Church activities.
(c) A person called of God to drug addicts,counselling and helping them practically back into society and into God's will.
(d) A person who feels God is leading them to work with a little known tribe in China who have never hard the Gospel message before.

(1)YOUR CALLING.
