The Holy Spirit gives His gifts to every believer, yet we all receive differently. It is important to understand your gift so it can be used properly. As we each know and understand how God has gifted us, we can then work as a "Body" and function properly! As one teaches, one counsels, one intercedes, one encourages . . . we work as one. (John 17). If we work out of order, then the Body is out of order and walks with a limp!
Not knowing our gifts neglects the entire Body. Not using our gifts is sin against the Body and God. We must know them and grow them. If don't use them we lose them! It is time we begin to understand how to properly gift one another as God has gifted us!
There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. (1 Corinthians 12:4-6)
