“How is then brethren? When ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying” (1 Corinthians 14:26).
As we continue with our November Treasure Bible study, we see more of Paul’s instruction in regards to spiritual gifts. If you know what your gift is, you should have the desire to use it. The same Spirit who bestows those gifts will give you discernment as to how and when to use them. One of the gauges of using spiritual gifts is whether they are edifying or strengthening those who make up the church. Most churches have an order of service. Gifts are exercised within that order. It would be chaos otherwise. That surely wouldn’t be edifying. The Corinthian church had to learn to conduct their worship services in a way that would be understood and accepted by all who attended.
As you seek to prayerfully use your spiritual gifts, make sure in doing so, you are a body builder.
