NOTE

SPIRITUAL GIFTS (1 Cor 12:4-8, Eph 4: 11-13)

Spiritual Gift is a gift of the Holy Spirit. According to St Paul, it is the Holy Spirit that dwells in a man and makes him acknowledge Jesus as Lord where the Holy Spirit is absent in a man, he cannot acknowledge Jesus as Lord.

“There are varieties of gift, but the same Lord; and there are verities of service but it is the same God who inspires them all in everyone. (1 corn 12:4-6)

 

TYPES OF GIFTS

The Nine gifts as enumerated by St Paul are as follows

  1. The utterance of wisdom
  2. The utterance of knowledge
  3. Faith
  4. Gift of healing
  5. The gift of working of miracles
  6. The gift of prophesy
  7. The gift to distinguish between spirits (discernment)
  8. The gift to speak in tongues
  9. The gift to interpret tongues.

All these gifts Paul said are inspired by the same Spirit who apportion to individual is for the common good of the body of Christ. (the church). Paul likened these gifts to the human body with different part and different functions, all playing an important role for the good of the entire body, so it is with Christ, by one spirit we were all baptized into one body of Christ. Paul in his analogy, went further to say that God has the different parts of the body to be mutually interdependent and necessary for the existence of the entire body.

Some part which seem to be weaker are indispensable. The part which people consider less honorable are invested with greater honour. Unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty which our presentable parts do not require. God created the body that there might be no discord. If one member suffers, all suffers together, if one member is honoured all members, rejoice together. In the same way, in the body of Christ, (that is the church) God has appointed apostles, prophets, teacher’s workers of miracles, healer’s helpers, administrators and speakers in various kind of tongues. All must use their gifts to the glory of God for the growth of the church.
