Spiritual Gifts.

James 1:17

1 Corinthians 4:7, Spiritual Gifts.

2 Timothy 1:6, Spirit of power, love and self-discipline

1 Timothy 4:14, don’t neglect the gift that was given to you.

Worship the giver, not the given. The Lord our God is the giver, the father loved the world so much that He gave Jesus Christ. John 3:16.

Jesus came into the world to save the sinners, he took the heart of stone and replaced it with the heart of flesh, now by the grace of God, and we are able to obey the Lord, give Him glory. God loved and God gave.

We live in a world full of so many religions, the question is.. Which one is the perfect one? If you ever look for a perfect religion and you find one, then join it, it will become imperfect, because you yourself, you are perfect.

Ephesians 4:11. It’s God that gives the spiritual gifts to prepare the people of God for works of service so that the church would grow.

1 Corinthians 12: 4, Gifts of the Holy Spirit.

We serve a God who gives gifts, what a wonderful God we serve.

Hew gives the gift of the Holy Spirit, its also associated with the promise of the father. 

Acts 2:38, repent and you will receive the gift of the holy spirit, He empowers you to carry out the work of the Lord. 

Acts 1:4, Wait for the gift my father promised.. John Baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy spirit. He gives you the power to be a witness, power to live a Holy life, power to do the work of the Lord. 

Don't despise the gifts of the Holy Spirit, 1 Thessalonians 5:20, Grow your gift, so that it will be used to build the entire body of Christ. As God to reveal to you what He has deposited in you by the way of gifting, by the way of talents and He will let you know.  

Use your skill, your talent, your ability for the Glory of the Lord. The gift you have is form the Lord.

God has put in you something, discover it, find it and use it for the Glory of the Lord. You need to practice your gifting so that you can discover it, grow it. 

You never know you can do something until you try it, you need to find it out, peruse it,, 

How do you know you are gifted?

• Believe that you have a gift, act it out, stir it up, grow it

How do you sustain your gift?

1. Prayer: Pray without seizing for its the will of God in Christ Jesus Concerning you. 
2. Word of God: You need to read the word of God, read it, hear it, believe it, practice it and your ministry will continue to grow, the Lord will sustain you. Everything you need to know about God, is revealed in His word, everything you need to know about life, the devil and so much more is revealed in the word of God. 

Acts 2:4. they were all filled with the Holy spirit, they spoke in other tongues and the Holy Spirit gave then utterance. The lord will always do His part, just do your part. Pray without seizing. 

Sunday Post~Power of Prophesy

The power of Prophesy is in the word that comes after all that you know. 

1 Corinthians 1:2

The Wisdom of men will not be enough.  There are three kinds if wisdom ;

Wisdom of men
Wisdom of demons
Wisdom of God

I came to show you that Christ is real "To make Jesus real and known"

As believers,  we don't have to be surprised when miracles happen, because they will follow you.

As a believer,  you are supposed to walk in the supernatural above the ways of the world.

You just have to be a believer in Jesus Christ to live the supernatural.

When your faith connects to the power of God,  then miracles start to happen. 

There are conditions that politics/politicians, good speeches or governments can't help,  but only the power of God can change. 

The power of God is in the church of Jesus Christ. 

You can rise up to do exploits in the name of Jesus, rise up and begin to work in the power of God. 

As long as you are a believer,  you can demonstrate the power of God. 

Show that the God you believe is a miracle worker.

Tell people about God and demonstrate Him.  The only way to make Jesus real is to demonstrate His power. 

People want solutions,  and u can't blame them,  they will go to where the answer is. 

May there be an awakening in this place.. In this church. 

God wants to stir up your spirit,  He wants to bless you to walk in the power of the Lord. 

Don't fear to walk in the power of God. 

Acts 8:4-8
Preach Christ,  if you want to see the power of God.

Your message about Christ will be believed if they hear and see. Phillip preached and demonstrated. When they hear the message and they see the power of God. 

Don't only stop at speaking,  let the power of God flow to touch people.

What is impossible with man,  is possible with God. 

The purpose of Miracles

Miracles affirm the word of God
Miracles glorify God
They prove that God is real. 
Miracles build faith
Miracles bring people to Jesus
Miracles are symptoms of faith
Prove the intense presence of the Holy Spirit. 
They disqualify the devil
