SKILLSET Vs GRACESET

“But by the grace of God I am what I am:…………” (I Cor 15:10)

Have we ever done a job so well that we were promoted outside our skill set? The exceptional salesman gets promoted to manager and fails as a manager. The Attender sometimes promoted to Office Assistant but may fails as a Office assistant for lack of skillset. The secretary gets promoted to office manager but fails for lack of management & Leadership skills. Understanding our Gods power will enable us to know when we are moving in a direction away from that which God has intended for our life. We might have noticed this principle happen a lot over the years in the lives of many. There is a paradox between these two concepts that cannot be ignored. Sometimes God will place us in situations in which we have no natural gifting. In these cases, God puts us there to experience His power in order to accomplish our tasks. God sometimes moves us beyond our natural gifting and allows us operate in a place where our natural gifts do not fit the job. Other times He is teaching us to acquire a new skill set for the given situation.It is known as “Grace set”.

But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness'" (2Cor 12:9).
