And he also saw that last week that Measure of Faith the same for everybody. Everyone has the same measure of Faith. That's what we saw. So the only difference is how we use it. That's a problem with it when it was don't know we have it when you first keep it on ourselves. We never use it. So they increase our faith that we can have more faith. Like you have a Jesus dolor story of a parable of a servant right? So just like the servant is made use off at your homes or whatever in those days. There were more like slaves just like you use them. By Jesus said use your faith. Let Faith work for you. That's what we saw last week that Faith.

So this is a chart of how many gifts for all its mentioned mentioned mentioned in Romans chapter 12 verses 6 to 8 that's popular today. Then we haven't 1st Corinthians chapter 2 verses 8 through 11. It talks about special kids again and 1st Peter chapter 4 verse 11 talks about a couple of verses here and they're also talks about the gifts the three main scriptures the Romans First Corinthians indications. What does a slight difference in this as his read the scriptures you'll understand? The 1st Corinthians chapter 2 album politics of the Caribbean says the gifts of the Spirit Holy Spirit chapter 4 all talk to them and say this is the gift of Jesus Christ. This is a gift of Jesus Christ. I didn't Romans the portion that. Most of the theologians say, this is a gift from God the Father. Show me a gift from God the Father. We just talked about today and we'll talk about that. Then we have gifts of the holy spirit. We just talked about in 1st Corinthians, and then you have gifts of Jesus Christ.

The gifts of the father of but you're going to see today is commonly called as creational gifts or working gifts or motivational gifts because the function of the gifts of the holy spirit mentioned the 1st Corinthians is more of a manifestation of gifts or spiritual gifts as they call it. Don't worry about it. I'm going to complicate you with this but it's a summary of it and efficiency apt for the gifts of Jesus Christ ministerial gets the office gift of the service gift instead of That's What I Call about and Peters first mention of Peter of them witches prophecy Ministry. Everybody can read together. Can you see it? Number one is prophecy Ministry teaching exhortation giving leadership and showing Mercy gives you all know.

You don't have to remember I said so far gives you a very very good example in 1st Peter chapter 4 Peter says something very interesting. if you go to 1st Peter chapter 4 read it if anyone speaks let him speak as the Oracles of God through Jesus Christ summarizes it and puts it together. He says two things speak.
Speak as if you're speaking the Oracles of God and do with the abilities of God. That's what it talks about here in 1st Peter chapter 4, if you look at the chart, if you look at all of them to look at all of them you can summarize.
Speaking Ministry is worth doing is worth speaking. Speaking giving is worth doing leadership is worth doing and speaking showing will see all of this speak and speak God's word and just do it. Describe doing something start speaking, as if as Oracles of God do it.

He summarized. 2nd Corinthians chapter 14 verses 1 to 5 pole summarizes everything like this and said the great disappointment. He stalks all about the gifts in 1st Corinthians 13, and then he says the greatest of this all this is their yes true. But the greatest of This Is Love the greatest of these is love So you can look at the 1st Corinthians Chapter 14 verse 1 through 5 is sun rises in three things. When is bushel of number one. Number two is desire prophecy. And number three is speaking. I was wondering why does I prophesy go back to slide again? Go back to the vet spreadsheet again, even look at this. The father's gifts the sun's gifts and the holy spirit gives all three of the one gift in common witches prophecy. If you look at that, all three of them have one gift in common witches prophecy and probably that's why Paul said you love love. What is it? Run off to love another way. This is my girlfriend. Love. This is a capillary action. It is the agape. Love you. Love you, then desire prophecy desire to speak proper people see what is prophecy and then it says speak in tongues three things.

Let's see about these gifts. Okay, so Romans 12 verses 6 to 8, which is also called The creational Working motivational gifts from the father and the number one draft 7th Dimension. Jeff Bridges. Number one prophecy Ministry teaching exhortation giving leadership and showing us some pasta salad. traditional gifts These are gifts which you are created with. You have this in born in you verse the father has given you have you ever wondered.

Why can't I arrange my cupboard and organize it? It's like what my husband does. Call the wife.
I want them to be organized late. You must have thought why is it that I can't organize my stuff as much as he or she can organize each one of us a different creational gifts and sometimes his gifts are not available, but actually important are so valuable. And so the father has given from God the father that I want it. Yes, I want to know about it and I want to excel in that. Okay, so nobody is created here bad. Nobody is great and worthy. Everybody is crazy what people that gift under the same as well for you. That's what Paul says don't consider yourself more highly than the others but we are all given different gifts. Okay, don't your neighbor and say I've got a different gift. Tell him I'm not like you.
Thank God I don't like you special by 39 vs. 13 to 17 series Psalms 139 verses 13 to 17.

Come on, I find somebody is an event designer. I'm wearing a designer suit what God has made today is a special day in 2K combination and permutation of jeans. Nobody else is like me special special. Okay. So the key in all the stocks about in Romans chapter 12 verse 6, why is all the gifts given to us Romans 12:6, it's given because you have to use God's Gift Romans 12:6 days having kids different according to the grace that is given to us. Let us use them the main point of the messages you guys about gifts and you have to use them if you don't use it, you lose it. You have to use God's Gift that's going in detail of what this gives Paul talks about year. The first one. He talks about his prophecy prophecy.
Prophecies what number to Pastor will come lay hands on head and we'll see I see you going to Australia that is one part of it one part of Prophecy. But here the prophecy of the word prophecy is speaking 4th 4th speaking. That's how the word is split brought forth and femi speaking 4th. It is basically interpretive decleration declaring or for telling the Ville and counsel of God the primary use of it is not predicted in the sense of foretelling but into protective declaring for telling the villain counsel of God of gods undisclosed truth and Claiming them as they are disclosed.
So in the Old Testament, these people are called Sears foreseer. That's what you see Samuel Escala Seattle profit. You could see was telling the bill and counsel of God. That's what it talks about here. So have you seen a person come to you? You would say. Oh man. I got a great business idea. I'm going to do this this this this no, I don't see that. How does person has God disability or the gift from God to see ahead of what you want thinking about? And this is a special gift from God the Father.
When you want to do something, okay, let's say okay. I'm going to become I'm going to study for CA. Okay, let me go go and tell David about this I want to do ca-111 Ste.
He might come up and say no that's not good for you. Or I don't see you good in this or someone who comes and tells something ahead of what you thought about this actually called a prophet or he's actually prophesying seeing ahead 40 or interpreting some things that you are thinking about. How many times did preparense a prophecy to you?
I'm a night. Did they prophesy to you? If you don't study you're going to fail? Yes, that is a prophecy and its effect if you don't study. You'll find I'm right. So your parents are very good profits, especially mothers. prophets, right Anytime you come back from school or what this is. prophecy right if you don't take but I will
I would not give you food. Thinking ahead of what people normally can think about is a character of a prophet. How many times when it's a special prophecies going to get insight to the Future thinks? Yes, that's what prophecy literally means that okay. So this person has the ability to perceive matters. And it's not a not be sore in the Ministry Office of particular manifestation. Spell he or she sees all of life with special prophetic insight. So some people call it the inside gift. Okay. So a person with this gift should be very careful because when you talk to a person if you have the spectacular get the prophecy of seeing a head of what the person hasn't seen you have to be very careful because you might hurt the person You know you come up with a brilliant idea and if I coming to leave man, that ideas so weird. All this will fail or this will happen to you if you go ahead and this direction. The person who has his gift of seeing ahead of the other person should be dealing with this gift with good with with humbleness. Okay, so they should see conviction accountability repentance confession and a keen awareness of God brought into Focus. You should realize that God has given me the ability to think ahead. So be careful when you use this gift of Prophecy, okay, anybody's got the gift.
You don't raise your hands. Can you see ahead of other people thinking about that? I think you've got the gift of Prophecy. Which is given by the father. Okay, so just be careful about this gift when you use it. So exercises give it to me and I are close to God they have especially African prophecy time. It was a great prophet within the scriptures all the disciples prophesied. You have many prophets coming here and there. But this is a gift from the father. The prophecy to see ahead of what others can see the look behind behind beyond what you can see there's a gift from the father was that second one is Ministry gift diakonia. That is the word for it and basically means rendering personal help aid or assistance to others to help assisting others activity of waiting on tables. The original word for this diakonia is actually a way to the guy on the know when you go to a restaurant somebody Waits on you like what do you want Taxi order? That is a real meaning the Greek meaning of the word? Caring for the house Soul Meets and serving in general. That's another activity of a person who is God Ministry gift. Okay. The Greek word of it is the same word beget the beacons inside of churches. We have the word call beacons are assigned as deacons. So basically these are people who are help. What are ready to help somebody have you had to have you come and help you how to put a time in my car was impounded by the police for you know, for some reason by Zedd and immediately Adams dad called him a call from a distance. This is the person who's going to Mystery Gift always had that done last week that was an incident in church. The pump water pump fail to work and the full place is flooded all the way from here to the back if it's flooded with water the moment the news came immediately. Sam postel Abraham Sebastian to get things done to get things moving. That's a Ministry gift. I got to help somebody. I know so many people we have that. We have anything on the. The moment to give a call. It's on the side of a Pastor Matthew something back before he before you left. You should see if there's anything to be done Pastor Matthew the first person the same on the scene.
So this is something in built on some people ready to do something. They can a prophecy these people can a prophecy I've heard of people who have both profit businesses. What does people probably cannot prophecy but they can minister to people assistant to people. Okay, 15 1st Corinthians chapter 16 15 stocks about Stephano's. I owed you Brethren, you know, the household is deafness that it is the first fruit of a child and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the scenes receiver life of Stefano's you say Paul Senior the life of Stefano's which is devoted. The ministry of saints. Steven has a man the first martir Orleans job was what what is a different job? to minister to the Vito's that is his ministry that is a gift from the father to help people be at the meat like Steven. Okay. Jesus was an example of a good person who serves who gives you chapter 20 verse 23 Matthew chapter 20 verse 28 28
To be of service ransom for many Jesus was Jesus came to serve how much more will it should be our ability. So this person who's got the ministry of the gift of ministry don't be ashamed because you're having the same Ministry with Jesus. Did you having the same and see what you did you may have to come up on stage in which I'm probably a conduit and you might be thinking alike on preaching God's word. I'm not worthy of God to speak God but no way because you if you can help somebody out be of me to somebody's help. Let me tell you that is a great ministry and Jesus did that to ya and we all are most a lot of us have this ministry of this gift of ministering to people Okay, John chapter 12 verse 2 talks about Martha in a Mary Martha The Story of Lazarus Lazarus, Mary and Martha.

Yes at a great ministry of God a great gift from God which is a gift of ministering ministering to people see the flukes gospel in your car today Martha was over but overdoing it got it because she said she was hospitable. She welcomed Jesus into the family.
So this is the gift Ministry from God. Okay. So this is a gift that meets that is meeting practical needs and rendering assistance. Define great satisfaction in doing things for others. These people have great satisfaction in doing things for others. These people have this ministry of basically the hand and feet of the body of Christ the other hands and feet of the body of a great ministry, but people sometimes think very less of themselves because of what am I doing? I'm just serving snacks, but that is a great ministry. Stephen Bennett, Jesus did it and if you can do it, let me see you at something great to the needs that is very important. They make sure these are the people who make sure that the jobs within the church get done well and efficiently and efficiently the ministry the gift of ministry teaching teaching did I score that is a word that means causing someone to accept something.
