If I “neglect... the gift” which God has given me for the blessing of His beloved people when things are going well in the assembly (1 Tim. 4:14), the result will be disorder. The condition of assembly confusion in 2 Timothy was the result of this “neglect.” When that is the case, I need to “stir up the gift of God” (2 Tim. 1:6) which has been given to me.
