~ Eight Principles for Stewarding Our Gifts ~

 2. We are utlimately the ones responsible for developing our gifts (2 Tim. 1:6).

3. We may face opposition while using our gifts for the Kingdom of God (2 Tim. 1:12).

 

4. We did not receive our gifts on our own merit; God sovereignly entrusted them to us to fufill His eternal plan and purpose (2 Tim. 1:9).

 5. The Holy Ghost will help us steward our gifts well (2 Tim. 1:14).

 6. Study, discipline, and excellence are required in our quest for stewardship (2 Tim. 2:15).

 7. We learn how to cultivate our gifts from our mentors (2 Tim. 2:1-2).

 8. When we have cultivated our gifts properly, we are to  multiply them through teaching and discipleship (2 Tim. 2:1-2).
