Guitarist in the
making
Six year old Andrew Benny from Ianu in the Cloudy Bay area of Abua
district in the Central province, is struggling to strum the
guitar.
Although his hands can barely reach the guitar strings, he holds
the instrument with confidence and sees himself one day playing
on stage before a large audience.
Young Andrew was part of a church gathering at the Inau
Christian Revival Crusade church camp recently. Congregations
from local churches from Newtown and Lalaura attended the three
day camp.
During the three days the Chairman of the CPCC, Pr Biliso Osake
taught on the foundational (or motivational) Gifts of God the
Father.
He said the reason why many Christians don't function well in
the church today is because they don't know what their gifts
are.
A person who knows his/her gifts is more productive in the
church. There are three gifts given to the church by the
Trinity. They are gifts of the Father, gifts of the Holy Spirit
and the ministry gifts of the Son.
Pr Biliso said many teachers of the Bible were emphasising too
much on the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the five-fold ministry
gifts of the Son but neglected teaching on the gifts of the
Father.
It's also one of the reasons why a church doesn't grow. The
Trinity left us three tools (gifts) to build the church up. Some
churches are struggling to grow because they are using two tools
instead of three.
Pr Robert Baumara of Ianu local church said he learned a lot
from the teachings, things he previously didn't know, such as
which gift the Christians were equipped with, but now he can
identify their gifts.
He can now use the person with the right gift to do a certain
job within the church.
