10 REVEALED TRUTH ABOUT THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Life is not about living and dying, there is a purpose for every created life. In order to discover your purpose, you need to find your creator, just like any purpose of a manufactured item is compiled up in it's manual. The same implies to man created in the image of God to worship him but also given dominion over every thing on earth as a gift. In the first chapter of Genesis verse 28, God gives man the ministry to replenish the earth.
Ministry is identifying a need and meeting it on behalf of God. Jesus said whosoever will give a cup of water to one of these little ones just because they believe me, shall not miss his reward. That means God considers ministry to that very extent. 1 Corinthians 12:1, Now concerning spiritual gifts I will not have you ignorant.
These are the 10 revealed truth about the gifts of the holy spirit
#1. You don't pay any price to receive a gift of the Holy spirit. When you give your life to Jesus he imparts spiritual gifts into your life but you may take long to identify these gifts of ministry.
#2. Only believers have spiritual gifts, the unbeliever or natural man can not receive spiritual gifts . 1 Corinthians 2:14, But the natural man receiveth not the things of the spirit of God for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them.
#3. There is no believer who does not have a gift
1 Corinthian 7:7, For I would that all men were as myself. But every man has his proper gift of God, one after this manner and another after the other.
every Christian has got a minimum of one spiritual gift.
#4. There is no single person who has got all the gifts but one can have multiple spiritual gifts.
1 Corinthians 12:28, And God has set some in the church, first apostles, secondary prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments,diversity of tongues.
Just like the parts of your body, the hands have the ability to do what the legs do but can not do what ears do.
#5. There is no gift that has been given to only one person. Every spiritual gift given to one person has been given to another person.
1 Corinthians 12:29-30
#6. You don't choose your gift but it's the holy Spirit who decides which gifts you receive.
1 Corinthians 12:11, But all these worketh that one and selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
#7. Spiritual gifts are permanently given
Romans 11:29, For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance.
That's why spiritual gifts an not be used as an indicator for obedience to Christ and as an assurance to enter heaven, It;s the fruit of the spirit that verifies that because one can still use the gift of the holy spirit even after departing away from God as it's many are these days.
#8. The gift of the Spirit can be developed. you can grow the spiritual gift in your life.
1 Timothy 4:14, Neglect not the gift which is in thee , which was given to thee by prophecy and the laying on of the hands by the presbytery.
#9. It's a sin to waste the gift of the Spirit God has given to us. Like the parable of the talents God requires us to faithfully use the gifts he has given us to serve one another.
1 Corinthian 4:2, Moreover, it is required in stewardship, that a man be found to be faithful.
#10. Using your spiritual gift faithfully glorifies God and make you to grow much fruit..
John 15:8, Herein is my father glorified that you bear much fruit
