Key To Being Influential In The Church by Ezebohirepurcha(m): 4:34pm On Apr 07, 2017
A Spiritual gift isn’t a natural ability with which you are born. It’s not an office, position, or job you may hold. It’s not a talent for dealing with people of certain ages.

Spiritual gifts are abilities that allow you to perform specific tasks beyond the realm of human skill. They’re given to believers in Jesus Christ only. And they’re given as gifts-not as a result of your maturity level, prayer, or education.

Whether all spiritual gifts mentioned in the Bible are still available today is a controversial issue. But it’s generally agreed that every Christian has at least one spiritual gift. A person might have more than 1 spiritual gift. (Matt. 25:14-30).

It’s up you to develop and exercise yours. Though we will advise you to so. For God hate unproductive stewards. But ours here is to help you discover yours through a free online spiritual gift inventor

And who the heck are you? Are you the Holy Spirit? Do you want to take the role of the Holy Spirit?

James 4:3 says
And you ask and you do not receive because you ask amiss. That you may spend it on pleasure.
God will not give you his gifts to spend it on being influential because he commanded in 1st cor 1:29

That no flesh must glory in his presence.

Ezebohirepurcha, desist from distorting God's words.

@ luvmijeje. Have you never take spiritual gift test/inventory. I'll be surprise if you haven't.

Many churches that are interested in the development of their workers are giving it. To help them discover the gifts, the Holy Spirit have given them. And their area of calling.

Not to give them another gift.

Though I will humbly on my part apologise for wrongly using being influential. As against being fruitful in my deposition
