without the proompting of the Holy Spirit.I cor 12:3

• The identity and works of the Holy Spirit were highlighted

– UNDERSTANDING THE PERSON OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE KEY TO APPRECIATION AND PROPER USE OF HIS GIFT

• We concluded with“ you cannot effectively operate in the gifts of the Holy Spirit without developing the fruits of thesame Spirit,

• From which Bro Sam asked a question

7/10/2016 sunday school: the gifts of the Holy Spirit 7

Page 8: Gift of holy spirit part 2 at Rccg kassel

Que

• Bro Sam Ques: why wont we have the gifts of the Spirit without the fruits. Even most of us

speak in tongues when we were baptised with the Holy Spirit?

7/10/2016 sunday school: the gifts of the Holy Spirit 8

Page 9: Gift of holy spirit part 2 at Rccg kassel

Answer

• Galatians 5:16-26 & Colossians 3:1-16

• In these text, Bro Paul depicts two contrasting conditions-carnality and spirituality

• Carnality is the life of sin, spirituality is the life of (holy Spirit) seed bearing

• The more we bear fruits, the quicker we become like Christ

• And then, the more effective will the gifts of the Spirit be in edifying the Church

Edifying???

Edifying???

• Edifying is to instruct, uplift or to build up

• How will a tongue speaking brother edify you if he lives in hatred and lack self control?

• How can I believe the prophecy of a pastor who is not kind/good? James 2:15-16

• How can I discern spirits if I do not have peace of God within me?

• Dont you know that above all other qualities in the life of Pst E.A. Adeboye, his meekness, peace and faith stand out,and can literally build up fellow christians?

...Answer contd

• Thirdly

– Let us consider, I cor 12:27-31

• There is no schism(division) in the body of Christ today because of envy, jealousy and pride through the use of our ‘gifts‘

• Why? The fruits of the Spirit are missing

Page 12: Gift of holy spirit part 2 at Rccg kassel

Answer contd

“Some people have a warped idea of living the Christian life. Seeing talented, successful Christians, they attempt to imitate

them. For them, the grass on the other side of the fence is always greener. But when they discover that their own gifts are

different or their contributions are more modest (or even invisible), they collapse in discouragement and overlook genuine

opportunities that are open to them. They have forgotten that they are here to serve Christ, not themselves.”

― Billy Graham, Hope for Each Day: Words of Wisdom and Faith

role ministry in the body of Christ without ENVY for the gifts of other Christians

The revelation gifts of the Holy Spirit• A. The word of wisdom

– A supernatural gifting that reveals the mind, purpose, and the way of God to a pariticular situation

• To expressly acquire this gift, delight in studying and applying the word of God. Col 3:16

Case study:

The Lord Jesus: Matthew 22: 15-22, John 8.4-9

the early church in Acts 6:1-7

Solomon: I kings 3: 16-28

• Needed during times of persecution: Luke 21:12-15

Revelation gifts contd……….

NOTE

• This gift is not manifested until the wisdom is expresed in words.....So it requires love

for you to express this gift

• It is completely different from worldly or book wisdom- see James 3:14-18

B.Word of Knowledge

• Supernatural ability to understand the truth concerning certain situations as it pleases the Holy Spirit.

• Revealed information for a dire need within the body of Christ.

• Often revealed in visions, dreams or trance• Case study• Jesus in Matthew 8:5-8• Joshua in Joshua 7• Samuel in I Samuel 9:20• Elisha in II Kings 6:8-12• So powerful that it can uncover the plots of one‘s enemies,

crimes, thefts, special information

C. Discerning of Spirits

• Detecting the true spirit behind the acts and manifestations taking place around us through the prompting and directive of the Holy Spirit

• What it is not?– Mind reading– Soul travel

• Quite important in the last days of satanic lies and deceit. See 1Jn 4:1, I Tim 4:1-2,Thess 2:9-12

• Needed in church to shield young believers from falling prey of deceit. See 16:16-18, Mt 16:15-17,22-23
