Re:Verse passage – 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, Romans 12:4-8 (day seven)
But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 1 Corinthians 12:7
If we are honest, we like to talk about ourselves. We are quick to tell people about the things we like and particularly the things we are good at. Much of that is tied to our vocational identity. We are well aware of our talents that attribute to our individual success. Yet, do we even know what our spiritual gifts are? Gifts are so much more important to our identify than even our talents, because it is our gifts that make the biggest impact for the Kingdom. Everyone has talents, but only those who are in the Spirit can receive the manifestation of the Spirit. Because of this, it is entirely possible for a spiritual gift to be the complete opposite of a talent, as the Spirit can manifest in us an ability that was not present before.
Everyone who is in the Spirit will receive a manifestation of the Spirit. Therefore, you have a spiritual gift! What is it/are they? You have already been challenged to take a spiritual inventory for yourself. Now, I challenge you to tell your Bible Study leader or a pastor at the Church what that gift is. It is not meant to lie dormant. The Spirit manifested a gift in you so that you can be a part of what God is doing and make an impact for the Kingdom now.
