ENGAGING SPIRITUAL GIFTS FOR SUPERNATURAL TURNAROUND

WHY DO WE NEED SPIRITUAL GIFTS?

These are proofs of God's manifestation in your life as a believer. Spiritual gifts are exclusively preserved for those who belong to God in truth and spirit. When you are in Christ and not experiencing the gift of God, it goes dormant. Men can exhibit talents but spiritual gifts are for those who are special before God; they are for those who have a craving for these gifts.

WHAT IS THE REQUIREMENT FOR SPIRITUAL GIFT?

This is the unreserved love for God and man; the love for God and things of God, and this is what makes you give your best (Jn.3:16). Giving has its root on love and love can be proven by sacrifice. Give until there is nothing else to give. That simply means giving yourself. Every genuine gift has its root in love, and love is not completed without sacrifice (Philp.1:21, Rom.8: 35-36). Giving yourself will qualify you for all of God.

Apostle Paul was richly blessed with spiritual gifts. He operated with the following secrets:

1.      He lived for Christ. Philp.1:21

2.      Nothing separated him from the love of Christ. Rom.8:35.

3.      He placed value on the grace of God. 1Cor.15:16

4.      He was richly blessed such that he imparted it on other people’s lives. Rom.1:11

It is the fullness of the love of God that brings out the fullness of God in your life. Spiritual gifts have nothing to do with education, gender or title. All you need to do is to submit yourself to God. You can have your share of spiritual gifts as long as you are saved.Eph.3:17-19, Jn.1:12-13, Isa.11:1.

The seven spirits of God are expected to manifest in Christians. 1Cor 12:7.

1.      The Spirit of wisdom is the spirit of sound mind. It empowers us for enthronement. Joseph, Moses, Daniel and Solomon operated the spirit of wisdom in their time but Christ has given us a leverage to even do better than them. Deut.34:9, 2Pet.3:15, 2Tim.1:6-7, Dan.5:11.

BENEFIT FROM THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM.

1)      It helps us in solving problematic situations. 1Kgs.26

2)      It helps our defense before hostile people (Mat.10:19-20).

3)      It helps us in giving answers to unbeliever’s argument. Mat.22:21

2.      The Spirit of counsel. Prov.14:12, Prov.11:14

This spirit of counsel brings safety. Prov.20:18. A man of counsel is a man of victory. Isa.48:17-21. The Spirit of counsel empowers us for divine guidance, and through this we enjoy:

a.      Profiting

b.      True peace

c.       Enjoy progress

d.      Suffer no lack
