DISCOVER YOUR GIFT
At Regents, we are convinced that God has a vision and purpose for your life, family and ministry. Not only that, we are also convinced that God has given you the spiritual gifts needed to fulfill His purpose and vision for your life. We also believe that the proper stewardship of your gifts will ultimately translate to a better quality of life in every area of your life. It was Joseph’s spiritual gift of dream interpretation that made room for him with Pharaoh and he ultimately became the Prime Minister of Egypt. It was Daniels’s gift that made room for him also with Nebuchadnezzar.
At Regents, we are passionate about helping you become good stewards of the gifts that God has placed in you; through helping you discover, develop and deploy your gifts. The next step from discovering your gifts is to use it in service to God and community. It is in the process of using your gift that you are developing it. As a matter of fact, the church is the training ground from where you try out your gifts and once you perfect it, you can then leverage it in other areas of your life.
