1 Corinthians 12:9-11New International
Version (NIV)
9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to
another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to
another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another
distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of
tongues,[a] and to still another the
interpretation of tongues.[b] 11 All
these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to
each one, just as he determines.
The gifts of the Spirit are so underrated that most
churches don’t even embrace them anymore. These gifts are what keeps us whole
and demonstrates just how awesome God really is. Gifts are given to show how
much someone cares for the other person and is meant to bless both the receiver
of the gift and the gift giver.
So imagine giving someone a gift that you feel is
something that need and would bless them beyond belief, only to have them
either tell you “Oh,no thank you I can manage without it” or just simply ignore
it?
That’s what a lot of us do on a regular basis,
whether we know it or not. It’s time we pick up our bibles and claim those
gifts that have been given to us by our heavenly Father. Mankind has never been
opposed to gifts, so don’t start now!
These gifts work miracles! And who knows when you
will need those gifts in the future….or even now.
What’s the worst that can happen, you get the gift
and but only get to use it every great once in a while…well what harm did it do
by having the gift? Nothing!
Claim your gifts, by speaking to the Holy Spirit and
inviting him in and to give whatever specific gift(s) that you want and believe
that they are yours and work it!
It’s never too late to claim your gifts!
