💭 Consider this: Bezaleel and Aholiab were “called by name” for a specific task. How do you view the work you are doing—in the church, home, or workplace—as part of God’s personal calling for you? What kind of legacy do you hope to leave behind in your service to God?

YT Description/Post

📣 What if the most important work you ever do is seen by no one but God? 🤔

In a world obsessed with recognition and self-promotion, the story of two humble craftsmen reveals a radical truth about purpose. They weren’t building monuments to human pride, but a dwelling place for God’s glory — called, equipped, and empowered for a work that would outlast them.

This message reminds us that our everyday skills, labour, and service are not random or insignificant, but part of a divine calling. Are you building for your own name, or for His? Learn how to move from chasing visibility to leaving a legacy that heaven remembers.

Highlights

Dear friend, have you ever considered the work you are doing in the church or in the workplace as a calling? There may be others who are just as talented or skilful as you are, if not more capable than you. But God has specially called you to do the work. And what He has called you to do, He has not called someone else. You must recognise it as a calling.

What we need to know is that every believer is given a spiritual gift. Some believers have multiple spiritual gifts. Someone may have the gift of teaching and yet also be gifted in administration, logistics, hospitality, and so forth. There are diversities of gifts, and the spiritual gifts that God gives to each believer is unique.

A hundred believers with the gift of teaching will not have the same teaching ability or emphasis. One may be good in public teaching in the church. Another may be effective in teaching the children in the classroom. Yet another may be gifted in teaching one-to-one. And the list goes on and on.

And no Christian can replace another Christian in God's plan, just as you cannot find another Bezaleel or Aholiab. Both were specially called and gifted by God. And those whom God had called and gifted, He would also fill them with His Spirit so that they would be able to accomplish the work in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of workmanship. In other words, they were empowered by the Holy Spirit to serve. It is not based on their own strength, but by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Dear friend, no one can replace us in God's plan. I'm not saying we are indispensable; God can raise up another person to take over our work. But what I meant is that what He has called us to do, He has not called someone else. God has His sovereign place for each and every one of us. He has specially gifted us accordingly, and He has filled us with His Spirit to empower us to accomplish the work.

When a believer does not exercise his gift faithfully as God's steward, the ministry of the church suffers in that area because God has not gifted another Christian in exactly the same way. Every believer is on the team. We are all important in God's plan, with our unique gifts and responsibilities.

Do not store up your spiritual gifts.
