Thank God for Spiritual Gifts
Paul in 1 Cor 11-14 addresses
public issues: importance of the
Lord’s Supper, the use & abuse of
Spiritual Gifts and orderly worship.
Spiritual Gifts must be exercised
in love for the building up of
the body of Christ; for only then
is the church of God properly
worshipping the God of the church.
Lord, we Desire Spiritual Gifts:
There are different kinds of Gifts
but the same Spirit distributes them
for the common good (1Cor 12:4-9)
Pursue love & desire spiritual gifts,
especially that you may prophesy.
(For) one who prophesies is
helping others grow in the Lord,
encouraging & comforting them.
Ask God for those (gifts) that
will be of real Help to the whole
church (1 Cor 14:1-3 & 12) Amen.
Lord, Your Word says that You give
your people special gifts that they
can use to build your kingdom.
Thank you for the different kinds
of gifts that the Spirit has given me.
Give me wisdom & discernment
as well as opportunities to use
them so as to help accomplish
Your will here on earth.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
Lord, Make me aware of the
creative ways You may speak.
May I never place limits on what
I expect You to say. Instead open
my mind to that’s on Your heart.
Teach me to ask: What are U saying
before I ever think: Why is this
happening? And help me to hear
Your voice in others; to see past
their flaws and to recognise what
You are saying thro them. Amen.
Lord, I ask You to give me
the spiritual gifts that You know
will be of Real Help to the church
and will fulfil Your purpose.
Thank you for creating me with
particular interests and talents.
Help me to see opportunities
to use them to serve other s,
to fulfil your destiny for my life
and glorify Your name. Amen.
