Karunia Rohani Harus Terus Di kobarkan

Baca: 1 Korintus 14:1-25

"Demikian pula dengan kamu: Kamu memang berusaha untuk memperoleh karunia-karunia Roh, tetapi lebih dari pada itu hendaklah kamu berusaha mempergunakannya untuk membangun Jemaat." (1 Korintus 14:12)

Ada berbagai karunia rohani yang diberikan Tuhan kepada setiap orang percaya. "Jika karunia itu adalah untuk bernubuat baiklah kita melakukannya sesuai dengan iman kita. Jika karunia untuk melayani, baiklah kita melayani; jika karunia untuk mengajar, baiklah kita mengajar; jika karunia untuk menasihati, baiklah kita menasihati. Siapa yang membagi-bagikan sesuatu, hendaklah ia melakukannya dengan hati yang ikhlas; siapa yang memberi pimpinan, hendaklah ia melakukannya dengan rajin; siapa yang menunjukkan kemurahan, hendaklah ia melakukannya dengan sukacita." (Roma 12:6-8). Karunia-karunia ini harus dikembangkan dan dikobarkan selalu di dalam kasih, karena tanpa kasih semuanya akan menjadi sia-sia.

Dalam Perjanjian Baru kata yang dipakai untuk menunjuk kata melayani adalah diakoneo, yang berasal dari kata diakonos yang berarti pelayan, abdi, utusan. Jadi secara garis besar melayani berarti melakukan pekerjaan sebagai seorang pelayan sesuai dengan karunia yang dimilikinya sebagaimana yang dinasihatkan oleh rasul Petrus, "Layanilah seorang akan yang lain, sesuai dengan karunia yang telah diperoleh tiap-tiap orang sebagai pengurus yang baik dari kasih karunia Allah." (1 Petrus 4:10-11).

Untuk mengetahui karunia apa yang ada di dalam diri kita dan bagaimana supaya karunia tersebut dapat berkembang secara efektif tidak ada jalan lain selain kita harus melibatkan diri dalam pelayanan, bukan hanya puas menjadi jemaat yang pasif, apalagi cuma jadi seorang simpatisan di gereja. "Janganlah hendaknya kerajinanmu kendor, biarlah rohmu menyala-nyala dan layanilah Tuhan." (Roma 12:11).

Jika ada orang percaya yang tidak mau melayani berarti ia telah meremehkan dan menyepelekan karunia rohani yang diberikan Tuhan. Karena merupakan pemberian Tuhan maka kita pun harus dengan sungguh hati dan tulus ikhlas melaksanakannya. Kesungguhan dan ketulusan kita akan menentukan efektivitas karunia rohani yang dikaruniakan Tuhan atas kita.

Mari melayani Tuhan dengan roh menyala-nyala sesuai karunia yang dimiliki!

The Painting of Destiny

"Are you sure of this, Navan?" The old pirate stared at King Mannas' chief merchant. However, his bright emerald green eyes sparkled with laughter. "The information came from Daoud, one of my former crew members, when I was ravaging the coastal villages of Vyrone." Navan smiled at the expression crossing Gerrod's face, whose family had fled from one of these villages. The Iron Falcon was a legend and parents had always used the threat of its crew and its flaming-haired captain to scare naughty children into sleeping and behaving differently. Gerrod quickly recovered and smiled. "Then he must be a man to be trusted, indeed." "Ah!" cried Navan. "Daoud will take the coin from the mouth of a dead man while it is still warm. I trust him only because he knows the fate of him who lies to me." I may have made him captain when I decided to infiltrate King Mannas' court, but he still knows who is in charge. "We must tell ...
