Is approaching unapproachable people a spiritual gift?
Yes. Approaching people who are usually unapproachable is described as a unique spiritual gift given according to God's will. Not every believer has the same gift; every believer has at least one, and some may have two. Such a gift should be used fully.
Les teaches that beginning with verse 3, various gifts God has given to every believer are described. Not all believers have the same gift; every believer has at least one, and some may have two, according to God’s will. Les points to Elsie, visiting from California, as having the unique gift of approaching people who are usually unapproachable, and he hopes she uses it to the full. He also recalls a young lady in Iowa who hosted a Saturday night class in her home, with 45-50 college-age young people, pushing furniture aside and supplying cokes and sandwiches for three hours of singing and studying the Word. When she complained she had no gift, Les told her that was a gift. Many believers practice a gift without realizing it, so rather than merely looking up your gift, recognize where you are strong and put it to work. Ephesians 4 says the many members of one body do not all have the same office.
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
