Three types of spiritual gifts Every believer has one primary motivational gift (Romans 12:6 – 8). We are to concentrate on discovering and developing this gift. That motivational gift (drive and ability) can express itself through a variety of ministry gifts. (1 Corinthians 12:28; Ephesians 4:11) When we exercise our motivational gift through our ministry gifts, the Holy Spirit determines what manifestations (or effect) will most benefit the receiver. (1 Corinthians 12:7)
