Your Gift

This morning, Julian gave a message on the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The centrality of the message, as I heard it, was that when a person submits their life to Christ, and is baptized in Him, he receives the gift of the Holy Spirit, which then dwells in him. But the Holy Spirit also gives specific gifts to the believer. To one, He gives the gift of prophesy; to another, wisdom; etc. We noted the singularity, or at least dominance of one gift in the life of a believer. If we pay attention, and notice the way that we have worked for the Lord since we became His, we should see the pattern surrounding the area where we have been gifted. Have you identified your gift? Do you use it regularly? Do you pray for an abundance of your gift?
