1 Corinthians 12:8‭-‬10 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

Sometimes ministers ask the congregation, which of the gifts of the Spirit do you desire? Some folks will say, I want the gift of prophecy; others the gift of word of knowledge; while others the gift of working of miracles or healing.

I don’t know about you, but I want all that God gives. If there is anything that God gives, I want all of it. I want the gift of prophecy, gift of tongues and interpretation of tongues, word of knowledge, word of wisdom, discerning of spirits, gift of faith, gifts of healing, and working of miracles.

THE SENSE OF SECURITY BRINGS REST

THE SENSE OF SECURITY BRINGS REST

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

When is night and you are about to sleep, you realise that you become at rest the moment you lock your doors. That sense of security gives you peace of mind to sleep well. When you know that your locks are not secured, you feel insecure which brings unrest.

Scripture says, fear brings torment. And fear of God’s judgment and punishment means one is not secured in the love of God.

If you cannot emphatically say that you are saved; and that you will be in heaven when Christ comes, you are not secured in the love of God. It is even sadder you hear preachers who say, I am not even sure of my salvation – I am not sure I will make it to heaven; we don’t know who is going to be saved.

THE DECEPTION OF THE SOUTH WIND

THE DECEPTION OF THE SOUTH WIND

And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.
Acts 27:13 KJV

There are people who say things like, listen to the experts. I beg to differ – it is not always safe to listen to the experts. If you are someone who is a keen follower of experts, you are headed for trouble. This world is a complex world and you need a knowledge than the expertise of men to stay ahead – a knowledge beyond the sense realm.

Our opening scripture is a story about Paul’s voyage to Rome. Before they set off for the journey, this is what Paul said: ….Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives (Acts 27:10). Apostle Paul by the Spirit perceived that the voyage would be dangerous. But the centurion decided to listen to the owner of the ship (the expert).

UNDERSTAND THE SUBJECT OF GIVING

UNDERSTAND THE SUBJECT OF GIVING

Proverbs 16:22 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.

You will have to understand why you are giving. You must get to know the purpose of giving and how it can be done effectively. Giving is done effectively when you understand the subject. And to understand a subject, you will have to do it intentionally. Understanding don’t just come to you; you have to seek for it.

And understanding comes when you study. Daniel understood by studies. As he studied the prophetic writings of the prophet Jeremiah, he gained understanding. While he studied, he realised that Judah was supposed to be in captivity for 70 years.

Daniel 9:2 In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.
