Topic: Express That Gift
Memorise: “But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.” – 1 Corinthians 12:7
Read: 1 Corinthians 12:8-10
For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
Bible In One Year: 2 Samuel 21-22, Luke 22:1-30
MESSAGE:
A young student who loved the Lord and served Him with a right heart had been trusting God for a healing anointing for a long time. One day, he was travelling from Lagos to Benin when they came across a fresh accident scene on the other side of the expressway. The bus he was in stopped and the passengers rushed to the scene of the accident to offer some help. When the brother got there, he was moved with compassion over the victims. There was a particular man who same t by the roadside bleeding, suddenly, that young student felt a strong urge to pray for that man. But he was afraid; no one else was praying for the victims, why should he be the odd one out? This young student left that scene without praying for that bleeding victim. If on the day Samson came in contact with a lion, he ran away, he wouldn’t have done great things that he did afterwards.
To express your gifts, you would have to overcome fear and turn your thoughts away from what people would say. If you refuse to express the gift you have, you remain limited forever. It is that gift that will make way for you and position you with kings and queens (Proverbs 18:16).
Action Point: Throughout this week, look for opportunities to express your gift.
Hymn 13: Is your life a channel of blessing
1. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is the love of God flowing through you?
Are you telling the lost of the Savior?
Are you ready His service to do?
Chorus:
Make me a channel of blessing today,
Make me a channel of blessing, I pray;
My life possessing, my service blessing,
Make me a channel of blessing today.
2. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Are you burdened for those that are lost?
Have you urged upon those who are straying
The Savior who does on the cross
3. Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is it a daily telling for Him?
Have you spoken the word of salvation?
To those who are dying in sin?
4. We cannot be channels of blessing
If our lives are not free from sin;
We will barriers be and a hindrance
To those we are trying to win.
