Good morning,
The word for today is - Gifts !
Let's look at the gifts that comes from God,In 1 Corinthians 12, we learn that spiritual gifts are given to God's people by the Holy Spirit for "the common good." Verse 11 says the gifts are given according to God's sovereign will ("as he determines"). Ephesians 4:12 tells us these gifts are given to prepare God's people for service and for building up the body of Christ. While there are different kinds of gifts (1 Corinthians 12:4), generally speaking, spiritual gifts are God's given graces (special abilities, offices, or manifestations) meant for works of service, to benefit and build up the body of Christ as a whole. We are to build up people, not to tear down people. Spiritual gifts include the following: wisdom, knowledge, faith, gift of healing, miraculous powers, prophecy, discernment (distinguishing between spirits), speaking in tongues and interpretation of tongues (I Corinthians 12:8-10). We are to be thankful. Thank you God for your gift. Amen !
