Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou came forth out of the womb I
sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.

·Motivational Gifts

1 Peter 4:10
As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good
stewards of the manifold grace of God.

Romans 12:3-8
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. [4] For as we have many members in one body, and all
members have not the same office: [5] So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every
one members one of another. [6] Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given
to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; [7] Or ministry,
let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; [8] Or he that exhorteth, on
exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that
sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
