Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the blog of @bigssam
God does not gift us with the Holy Spirit to just benefit only the person who possessed, but rather He gave it out so that His church may benefit. In our age many Pastors and believers undermine the gift of the Holy Spirit, because they don't know why they were gifted to them.
The gift of the Holy Spirit was not given to us to be arrogant, or to enjoy all the fruits by ourselves. It is not by the gift of the Holy Spirit we may use to acquire our personal wealth. We are the Care takers of the gift of Holy Spirit so there is no need to be so proud and arrogant to use for your personal wealth.
Since we are just a mere care takers and the gift too was given freely, we need not to be complacent about it for there is a time coming when we will give account for it.
God gave us this gift because of:
To glorify God and
To help the church grow
The church needs the fruits of the Holy Spirit to progress but the fruit of the gift can't be possessed by one person. In view the Spirit has been divided so that many people may also benefit.
Ephesians 4:12-13
"4:12to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
4:13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ"
Thanks for spending your time with me, Shalom
You are right @bigssam, we should use whatever gift that has placed on us to help the Church grow. Thanks for sharing with us.
