We all have gifts of some sort, whether we believe it or not. Not the kind that comes beautifully wrapped in a package with a pretty bow on top. God has given us gifts of love, compassion, kindness, hope faith, understanding, wisdom.
The Bible lists our Spiritual Gifts as follows: administration/ruling, apostleship/pioneering, discernment, encouraging, evangelism, faith, giving, hospitality, knowledge, leadership, pastor/shepherding, prophecy/perceiving, teaching, serving/ministry, showing mercy and wisdom.
1 Corinthians 12:4-11 states “Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit…”
1 Peter 4:10 tells us “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace:”
We probably do not possess all of these gifts. God has bestowed special gifts that he wants us to share. In 1 Peter 4:10, “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace:”
In Romans 1:11 we find “For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you”
We must believe in the Lord God and his son Jesus Christ. We need to unwrap the Spiritual Gifts that God has given us. When we share these gifts with the world, we become empowered, and hopefully empower those around us.
