Every member has a Gift Christ paid a dear price to give us a gift through His Spirit by faith Can God clearly see you using the gift that he gave you? God wants to push us on to our identity and destiny as Christian men The gifts are the manifestation of God’s character in our lives and He will chasten us to get the best reflection of Himself

Every Gift has a Purpose I Cor 12: 1-4-6 see Amplified Version The spiritual gifts are special endowments of supernatural energy that are unique to each believer The church’s purpose is to influence the culture and change it with Kingdom principles and processes through it’s people diffused like salt The church has prematurely taken the Spirit out of the world by isolating ourselves
