“Gifts Of The Spirit – Part 2”
Friday, May 31, 2024Key Verse
“But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal” (1Corinthians 12:7).
Text — 1 Corinthians 12:7-9
Message
The gift of the Spirit comes after the baptism in the Holy Ghost. These gifts are for all believers irrespective of their age. You should not exclude yourself because it is given to all boys and girls who desire it for their spiritual benefits.Young Daniel and Joseph possessed the gifts by which they were able to interpret the dreams of kings. Not only that, most of the eschatological studies of today have their reference to what was revealed to Daniel. The manifestation is also for profit. This means that we are to develop and deploy the gifts given to us (Proverbs 18:16). The profit is mainly for the kingdom of God. We use the gifts for reaching out to sinners, helping the confused, resolving doubts and directing people to the way of the Lord. They are not for selfish or financial gain.
The gifts of the Spirit include: i. the word of knowledge ii. Wisdom iii. Faith – a dynamic faith. iv. The gift of healing. Remember, as studied yesterday, the gifts are for the saved, holy and Holy Spirit-baptized. Pray and receive the gifts.
