註釋Rhonda Branch Yearby is a Faith-Builder & Forgiveness Coach, Award Winning International Bestselling Author of over 25 books and loves sharing Gods word in her books and a crusader for literacy!The primary purpose of spiritual gifts is to use them in a way that brings God glory. With some spiritual gifts, honoring God may seem obvious. For example, if you're gifted with an ability to teach, you may already be using this gift by leading Sunday school classes. But some gifts may not have a corresponding ministry. An example of this would be the gift of wisdom. You may not realize it but others may already rely on your wisdom, even if you aren't in a formal position. Yourfriends and family may stop in the middle of a discussion to turn to you and ask, "What do you think about this topic? How should I handle this situation?" When you speak wisdom over loved ones and other Christians, you are honoring God. So don't be discouraged if you feel like you don't have a gift or worry that you're not using it. To Help One Another Not only do your spiritual gifts bring honor to God, they can also be useful for helping others. Perhaps you've been given the gift of prophecy. You may be able to discern events and situations before they happen. You may also be able to explain signs andwonders that others cannot. One Biblical example of the gift of prophecy was Joseph. When he heard Pharaoh's dream, he was able to share what it meant. He also advised a course of action that would preserve both the Egyptians and the Israelites. When God gives you a spiritual gift, He wants you to share it with those around you. Sometimes, God willeven move you into a situation where your gifts are needed, much like He did with Joseph. To Grow Closer to GodEric Liddell, an Olympic runner, once said, "I believe God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast. And when I run I feel His pleasure." Many Christians feel closest to God when they are using the gifts He gave them. If God has given you thegift of exhortation, you might sense God's presence when you're encouraging a friend who feels overwhelmed. If your gift is the gift of knowledge, then you might enjoy God's presence while learning a new concept. Spiritual gifts are blessings from God to be used for His glory, the help of others, and as a way to grow closer to God. If you're not sure which spiritual giftsGod has given you.
