TOPIC: GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
TEXT: 1COR. 12:4
Happy glorious weekend to you beloved. The Lord will bless you beyond measure and cause His face to shine upon you.             
      The gifts of the Holy Spirit are also called 'Spiritual gifts'. They are so called because of it supernatural manifestations that come as gifts from the Holy Spirit operating through believers for the common good (1 Cor. 1:7; 14:1).
They could as well be tagged grace gifts because spiritual gifts involve both inward motivation, received from the Spirit.
 Such strengthens spiritually the body of Christ and those in need of spiritual help (Rom. 12:6).                         

    "Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit."                                 

   These gifts are given by the Holy Spirit to believers as He wills.            
 The gifts and manifestations of the Spirit were an indispensable part of the early Church's life together (1 Cor. 14:26).                          God intends that these gifts continue it operations till Christ's returns (1 Cor. 1:7). His purposes for the spiritual gifts are;  
                          
 1. To manifest the grace, power and love of the Spirit among His people in the public gatherings, homes, families and individual lives (Rom. 15:18-19, Eph. 4:8).
 2. To help make the preaching of the gospel effective by giving supernatural confirmation to the message (Mk. 16:15-20, Acts 19:11-20). 
 3. To meet human needs, to strengthen and to build up spiritually (individuals and the church in general)- 1 Tim. 1:5. This in essence is to perfect believers in love, "out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and unfeigned faith".
4. To wage effective spiritual war against Satan and the forces of darkness (Ish. 61:1,  Eph. 6:11-12. Acts 8:5-7). The same spirit gives various gifts to believers as He wills in order to fulfill their earthly ministries.

 Beloved, you also have a ministry to fulfill on earth. May you find your ministry, find it and grow in it in Jesus' name. God will give you the gifts you need to fulfill your ministry here on earth in Jesus' name, but you need to ask the Holy Spirit (Luke 11:13).                
Enjoy your day!
