Seek To Honor God

 In many church assemblies today, there is much emphasis on the gifts of the Holy Spirit and though the gifts of the Spirit are wonderful and exciting, if they are not administered in love, they are of little worth and can even become abused and destructive.
 Spiritual gifts from the Spirit are bestowed on every child of God, but they are a privilege that must be used wisely. When abused by the carnal believer, that can cause confusion in the Body of Christ and deliver a distorted message.
 The gifts of the Spirit are to be managed under God's authority. Gifts must flow from the fruit of the Spirit, which is rooted in LOVE and which overspills into joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, and self-control.
 Let us Seek To Honor God in the way that we practice whatever gift or gifts the Spirit has graciously bestowed upon us and let us do it in LOVE.
Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that you give each of Your children one or more gifts of the Spirit, to be used in love and to Your glory. Help us to use the gifts that you have bestowed on us, in a way that does not dishonor or displease You. May our spiritual gifts be rooted and grounded in Christ’s love. In His name we pray, AMEN.
