The Gifts of the Spirit

I know, I know! You read through this list and, instinctively, there are some of those gifts that just seem a bit more appealing than others Bible study online Christian smiley.
You may be thinking to yourself, "The ability to help others or give wise advice? Who'd want those when they could be performing miracles?"

But, when we are the person who needs help or godly advice, we are mighty thankful for the one God has sent to be a blessing to us.

Yes, there are many parts, but only one body.
The eye can never say to the hand, "I don’t need you."
...In fact, some parts of the body that seem weakest and least important
are actually the most necessary.
-1 Corinthians 12:20-22 (NLT)

Why are the gifts that we would consider to be the least important the most necessary?

Look at it this way.

How often will you need a prophecy? Someone could prophesy over your life, and that one word from God could be the only one you ever need concerning your destiny.

But leadership, godly counsel, teaching-These are things we need almost daily!

In fact, if you have received a prophecy about your destiny, but have bad leadership and no godly counsel, the likelihood that you will ever see the manifestation of that prophecy is very slim.

Your thumb may appear to be pretty insignificant. But try drinking a glass of water or using a fork to eat your food without your thumb.

The very ability to get vital nutrients to the rest of your body's members would be totally compromised – And all because of such a seemingly insignificant member of your body.

Some spiritual gifts may appear to be less significant, but, without them, like you, the Body of Christ would surely starve.




A Closer Look At The Gift of Helping Others


what are spiritual gifts- the gift of helping- homeless manI think the spiritual gift of helping is often much neglected.Helpers are God’s representatives in the lives of the hurting.

As the Body of Christ, many of us have forgotten that the greatest among us will be the ones that serve (Matthew 23:11).

Though this gift could be used in so many ways, there are specific callings that require a huge helping of help.

Maybe you feel in your heart that you are called to serve in a battered women’s shelter or a soup kitchen. Or that God wants you to be a nurse or social worker.

There are millions of hurting souls in our world. God loves them all. He uses gifted helpers in the Body to serve them and show them His unyielding love.

Helping is a special gift that enables you to serve and love more deeply than is otherwise humanly possible. Do not neglect this integral Gift of the Holy Spirit.
