#1 Gift, Administration (100%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
This is an area that I believe, if done well will cause all other areas to be more effective. When I look at my church I see administrative tasks that need to be completed and understand what the outcome will be if addressed properly or improperly. I do not have problems delegating or asking others to do the work that needs to be done. I know that everyone enjoys working for God using the specific gifts that God has given them and I put the effort into finding out what those gifts are.

#2 Gift, Teaching (78%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I think this is a developed gift more than a spiritual gift. God works in me every day so that I can further His kingdom. I enjoy watching others become the person that God wants them to be.

#3 Gift, Giving (71%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
God has taught me to be a cheerful giver over the years.

Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Beaver’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

[E]xperience

Wrapping It Up

The Challenge: Based upon your S.H.A.P.E. Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

1. My Relationship with GOD

2. My Relationship with Others

  • Putting Your Spouse First
  • Your Kids Second
  • Everyone Else After those

3. To teach everyone God’s stewardship principles so that as a people we could carry out the command that God gave to Adam in the garden of Eden. ( to work and take care of it)

4. To coach others in biblical finance

5. To provide purpose and inspiration to those that are a part of NBNAZ
