“Follow after love; yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.”
1 Corinthians 14:1 ASV
When our resurrected Christ ascended into heaven He gave gifts to people. The work of proclaiming the glorious Gospel to a world in darkness that the Lord Jesus entrusted to those who believe in Him, cannot be done without the power of the Holy Spirit. Unless the Holy Spirit witnesses through us in power, we are not effective Gospel givers. The Holy Spirit activates the gifts that the Lord Jesus gave, indeed they are known as the gifts of the Spirit. Let’s operate in the gifts of the Spirit to make known Christ’s Gospel effectively. Because we love our Lord Jesus, and we love our fellow people, let’s earnestly desire spiritual gifts and especially that we prophesy and be a good news carrier. Let’s not be speaking bad news that produces fear, doubt and confusion. Let’s give good news and be effective in giving the glorious Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. That’s how people will believe and the light will dispel the darkness. Thank You Holy Spirit for empowering us with the gifts of the Spirit!
