SPIRITUAL GIFTS
Freelance writer Lupie Riley
Thought: We can all remember the best gift we have ever received. Did we respond to the giver “no I can’t accept this”. I don’t think so. But everyday there is someone who rejects the best gift God offers, Jesus the Savior. At the moment someone says yes to the Savior they receive a gift of the spirit. It’s different from a talent we inherit by genetics. This spiritual gift is to be used for the glory of God our Creator.
How do we discover our spiritual gift or gifts? There are several ways we can do this through affirmation from friends, observation and prayer—asking the giver to reveal them to us. All spiritual gifts are to be used to build up the body of Christ (the church) so that it may grow by being strengthened through a combined supply of each member of Christ’s body. Some of these gifts would be in the capacity of teacher, leadership, mercy, wisdom, faith, helper, generosity and many others but all are to be used for his glory.
Have you discovered your spiritual gift? Pray, asking the Lord to reveal your gift so you can go on to fulfill his plan and purpose for you. Out of all these gifts the Lord gives us that will someday disappear there are three things that remain—faith, hope and love—and the greatest of these is love.
Prayer: Father God, thank you for the gifts you bestow upon us at the time of our new-birth (born again). Help me to use them for your glory so that I may hear those words “well done my good and faithful servant”. Amen
Verse: I Cor. 12:28 “ here is a list of some of the parts he has placed in his church which is his body. Apostles, prophets (those who preach God’s word), teachers, those who do miracles, those who have the gift of healing, those who can help others, those who get others to work together, those who speak languages they never learned” (and many others).
