Determining Your S.H.A.P.E. for Service
Jesus said, “… I, the Son of Man, came here not to be served but to serve others
…” (Matthew 20:28). He is our example and has called each one of us as Christians
to serve in ministry. How do we determine what ministry we have been called to do?
My ministry is determined by my S.H.A.P.E. What God made me to be determines
what He intends for me to do. I will understand the purpose I was created for when
I understand the kind of person I am. This is the secret of knowing God's will for
my life. God is consistent in His plan for each of our lives. He would not give
us inborn talents and temperaments, spiritual gifts and all sorts of life experiences
and then not use them. We believe by reviewing and studying these factors you'll
discover the ministry God has for you, the unique way God intends for you to serve
Him. The two results for discovering the ministry I've been shaped for are fruitfulness
and fulfillment. When you discover what God made you to be and then you begin to
do what God made you to do, through what He made you to be, you're going to be fulfilled.
Fulfillment comes from service, not from status or anything else. The links on this
page are to assist you in discovering your S.H.A.P.E. and connect you to a ministry.
What is S.H.A.P.E.?
Spiritual Gifts - What Am I Gifted To Do?
Heart - What Do I Love To Do?
Abilities - What Natural Talents and Skills Do I Have?
Personality - Where Does My Personality Best Suit Me to Serve?
Experiences – What are my life, educational, and ministry experiences?
Your ministry will be most effective and fulfilling when you are using your GIFTS
and ABILITIES in the area of HEART'S DESIRE in a way that best expresses your PERSONALITY
and EXPERIENCE!
