Yesterday morning, I was with my Homemakers' Fellowship and we were having a bible study about using gifts from the Lord for the common good of the whole church and community. We studied 1Cor 12 and went around,giving each lady a chance to share about what she feels is her gift from the Lord, be it a spiritual gift such as the message of wisdom, the message of knowledge, faith, healing, miraculous powers, prophecy, distinguishing between spirits, tongues, interpretation of tongues; or practical gifts as listed in Romans 12 such as serving, teaching, encouraging, contributing to the needs of others, leadership, showing mercy, etc.
It was great to hear how one sister received lyrics of a song which God gave her to share to encourage the church and how she sms it to another sister, who immediately received a tune from God and wrote down the music scores of the new composition. I hope this song will be on an album soon so that the church worldwide can benefit from it!
Another sister talked about her joy in cooking and seeing others enjoy the good food she cooked. This gifting was confirmed by a prophet from overseas who once told her that she saw in a vision, this sister putting more potatoes into her oven, signifying the gift of hospitality, which we all agree she has.
We were all so encouraged that God gives to each and every one of us a gift to use for His glory and to build the church. We were warned that if we do not use the gift God has given us, we may be bring harm to the church by not fulfilling our vital roles which are all needed for the well-being of the church. WOW!
