This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you. For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love and self-discipline. – 2 Timothy 1: 6-7(NLT)
FAN INTO FLAMES YOUR SPIRITUAL GIFTS
A poem and essay by ILMA
Fan into flames your spiritual gifts from God
Fear or timidity does not give him laud
God anointed you with these abilities, use your authority
He gave us spiritual gifts to help others and have victory.
Use and grow your spiritual gifts to proclaim his power
Whether the gift is to prophesy, discern, speak in tongues or counsel
We have to be bold to use them to bring others into his fold
He wants us to walk in love and develop discipline to be able to unfold.
Do you know your spiritual gifts? 1 Corinthians 12 enumerates the different gifts that the spirit of God has anointed us with. To some, the spirit gives the ability to give wise advice, to others, the ability to prophesy. Some are given the power to perform miracles or to heal; while some are able to speak in tongues or to interpret or given a vision. We are asked to be passionate about the gifts we are given to spread God’s kingdom.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to thrive in my gifts.
