Overcoming Redemptive Gifts Strongholds As A Pathway to Growth and Destiny

October 4, 2014 by Robert Hartzell

Overcoming Redemptive Gifts Strongholds

Ephesians 4 says God gave the 5-fold ministry gifts to equip the saints for ministry. To me this means that everyone has some type of ministry God has for them to fulfill.

A Path to Destiny

Regrettably many Christians feel stuck in discovering this path, so let me help. The first step is to know your redemptive gift. This will tell you in what areas you will be most effective. Then, overcoming all seven strongholds will lead you in taking your gifting into your destiny.

Overcoming Redemptive Gifts Strongholds

Prophet problem solving is the first key to destiny. We all must develop some skill that makes the world a better place. As we use this gift to benefit others rather than to build our own identity, we grow. We find favor as people look to us for our gifting. This is how a new business or a ministry is started.

Serving is the next step. As we learn to serve others with proper boundaries in place, our ministry will grow. We teach people to respond to our gift in a healthy way and not take advantage of us.

Teacher principles now come into play. Having a problem solving skill and serving others with it will lead to unique new insights. You will begin to have knowledge based on your experience that others don’t have. Using this knowledge rightly and not for ego will build yet more into your destiny. For example: If your gift is evangelism and you have learned the basics well and serve others with it well, you will then have experience-based knowledge to teach others with. This may lead to writing a book, teaching workshop, or equipping others.

Exhorter personality is needed. Having intellectual property is not enough. You now have to connect socially to bring your specialized knowledge to the world and let them know what you have to offer. This requires good people skills.

Giver shepherds the increase. Accomplishing the first four steps typically leads to attaining a resource or resources of some sort, be it people, a product, or an idea. As you steward these resources well, you will be able to reach yet even more people and advance the Kingdom of God.

Ruling rightly is now important. With greater reach you will likely have people who want to be on your team. This is where leading with the healthy skills of ruler will help.

Mercy keeps God’s heart in the center. Finally, you will have the opportunity to leave a lasting impact on the world around you. The authority of your presence in your niche area can leave a legacy to the next generation. The heart connection with many people, and even connecting them with God, can be realized in a right way and in a big way when all the other steps are in place.

Destiny Blueprint

Many people have ideas for ministry and for ways they feel called. I find this to be an excellent pattern for how that can develop from a humble beginning all the way to lasting impact. Each one of us are uniquely designed with our own gift that can impact the world, whether that be through our families or through large companies. We all have our place in the Kingdom.

By knowing our gift and following these steps, we can grow, mature, and fulfill the destiny God has for us.
