About Spiritual Gifts - 1 Corinthians 12

Read 1 Corinthians 12 today

There is one God. 
This God wants to reach and minister to people all around the world. He accomplishes this in a variety of ways, but one way He does this is through His people. God gives us His Holy Spirit, as believers, and He anticipates us to tap into His power, so to speak. He gives us various gifts so we can exercise His power to help minister to others. These gifts are spoken about in various places in Scripture, but one passage that gives a distinct overview of these gifts is 1 Corinthians Chapter 12. 1 Corinthians 12 talks about how there is diversity in ministry, but one God who is working behind the scenes of it all.

Some spiritual gifts listed in 1 Corinthians 12 are wisdom, knowledge, faith, powers of healing, ability to perform miracles, prophecy, discernment of spirits, tongues, and interpretation of different tongues. The apostle Paul in this passage says specifically the Lord distributes these gifts to various people as He wills. 

If you are a believer in Christ and you are reading this now, you have access to some of these gifts. You may have other gifts that are not even mentioned in this passage. We encourage you to pray to God and ask Him to reveal to you by the power of His Spirit where He wants you to work in His ministry.
How does God want to use you to minister to His people? It is by the power of the Holy Spirit that we are able to do this.
