And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability. – Acts 2:4(NLT)
HOLY SPIRIT GRANTS ABILITIES
A poem and essay by ILMA
When the Lord fills us with his Spirit
There’s nothing impossible, we can do it
He can give us the ability to speak in tongues
He can also give joy and make each of us strong.
The Spirit of God can make us talk in other languages
He can make a way for us to face all kinds of challenges
The Holy Spirit grants abilities so we can face anything
You can overcome and thrive if we believe in him.
________________________________________
I was gifted with communication and creative skills. It is ironic that when I was growing up, you can barely hear me. I don’t usually talk and was a very introverted. God has been using me now to preach the gospel. Even though no one in my family led me to Jesus, I believe that the Holy Spirit was the one who gave me the ability to hear Jesus’ voice in my head and heart even at a very young age of seven. When I was in my late twenties, the Lord made me speak in tongues. It was amazing to speak a foreign language my head doesn’t understand but my heart knows very clearly. I was filled with God’s spirit.

It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualifications come from God. – 2 Corinthians 3:5 (NLT)
ALL QUALIFICATIONS ARE FROM GOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Where do your skills and abilities come from?
Do you think you worked hard for it so it will be honed?
Do you take pride in what you can do without thanking the Lord?
Our qualifications come from God who fills us with things we shouldn’t hoard.
God gave us gifts so we can glorify him
Taking credit for ourselves and being ungrateful is a sin
Without the grace and mercy of God, we are nothing
Look above and be grateful that he gave you everything!
There are a lot of ungrateful people on this planet. I used to be one. It took me many years to get a revelation from God that I was a proud, arrogant and self-glorifying person. I always worked hard at everything I do and took so much credit and pride when I have success on it. I thank God that he has freed me from this arrogance.
The bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 3:5 that our qualifications come from God. Science wants us to believe that we are born with gifts or talents. The bible on the other hand tells us that they all originate from God.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to have a grateful attitude.
