LESSONS
Spiritual gift is a major equipment of the saints for reigning in this earth realm. A Christian that is not equipped this way will be unproductive in service and representation of the Kingdom. He will operate more naturally than spiritually. Since all the treasures are domiciled in the spirit realm, we should know that the tools of the gifts of the Spirits are part of the conversion mechanism. Joseph was ahead in his days by fanning the gifts of interpreting dreams which was the deposit of God in him,
Gen 41:12” We told the dreams to a young Hebrew fellow there who was a slave of the captain of the guard, and he told us what our dreams meant” TLB. Likewise Daniel and many more others. While the world celebrates talents, the Kingdom Citizen displays God through their gifting. The later is superior to and contain the former. It is to your best advantage if you develop the gifting that has been deposited in you as Paul charged Timothy” For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands” NIV.
“Gift “is from the Greek word “charismata” which is derived from “Charis” which means grace. It by grace that we manifest those gifts. After being filled with the Holy Ghost, these gifts will be showing up: harness and fan them deliberately because it is your key to living a fulfilled Christian life. While you study to grow in Character, you fan to flame the gifting of God in you and you see your eagle flying, or else you crawl like a chicken for life. When the Holy Ghost is less real to believers, we pursue emblems like the traditional herbalists give to their clients, but God has presented to us the fullness of the Spirit. Be full to overflow!
Isa 55:1”Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come; buy wine and milk without money and without cost”NIV.
Don’t turn the book of Psalm to just an only incantation book, be filled with the Spirit and enjoy robust communion in prayer and be shielded from been tossed by world’s pressure, this is your right. It is the common wealth for all kingdom citizens.
PRAYER ALERT
I receive hunger and insights to enter the realm of full operation in the Spirit.
