Gifts of the Spirit...1 COR 12: 7-11


Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues and to still another the interpretation of tongues

How to use your gifts in the place where you are? 

Most people think that their special gifts are what they can do in this world as in what they are talented at as in physically and mentally capable of.  But, those kinds of 'talent's are only of man's appreciation in a fallen world, they are not the spiritual gifts given by God. If you had only to rely on man's idea of talents, you either are or will be disappointed. Why/How?

The best athlete runs out of youth/energy, the top CEO is expendable, beauty fades and the most 'talented' symphonic musician gets old and tired. Even the scientist is outwitted by new theories. But, God's gifts are always full of love, grace and power, they never get misplaced or made redundant and they never get old or tired. And, best of all, they can be used anywhere as in any place.

Whatever you do now, use your gifts and you will do much for His Kingdom!
