SCRIPTURE: CORINTHIANS12:7-11
7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,
9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,
10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.
11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines.
OFFER PRAISE THROUGH MUSIC!
MESSAGE: TO THINE OWN SELF BE R E A L L Y TRUE
Last Sunday’s questions were: What has meaning in your life
and purpose of your life?
What enables you to be fulfilled?
Acknowledging the truth is a challenging process!
People who focused on surviving don’t know the meaning or purpose of their lives, and they don’t seek fulfillment.
But when you choose life & you want to be true to yourself, you choose abundance.
Jesus said, "I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly" (John 10:10).
How is abundance manifested?
A Spiritual Gift is a special divine empowerment bestowed on each believer by the Holy Spirit to accomplish a given ministry in alignment with the will of God AND to be used within the Body of Christ
