Paul gives a key to all ministry gifts when he states, “Build up the church.” If we or anyone else see or use our spiritual gifts for self promotion or aggrandizement, we have erred – we are missing the mark.

A healthy self-test is … “do I benefit from my motives or does the Body of Christ benefit? If we puff up at the expense of the spiritual well-being of fellow Christians, we are getting off track.

Love “Seeks not its own.” [1 Cor. 13:5b]

PRAYER: Lord, above all else I desire to put You first, to worship You alone. I don’t worship myself nor my comfort. I want to be selfless like me Lord Jesus Christ.
