Think a moment of a gift you received from your own birthday
party. When you received your gift, you opened it up right? You were thankful
and happy that someone gave you some attention. (They thought of you)
Well,
think about your heavenly Father. He gave you a gift. Do you know what it is? I
think it would bring honor to your heavenly Father to give Him some attention
and discover your gift. Would you agree? View these videos and discover, understand,
and use your gift.
I do
not know about you but for me, it is a total blessing knowing my gift.
Open
your gift and be thankful and happy that your Father gave you some attention.
I
believe that the Father shows worth to His children by giving undivided
attention to their life.
There
is more information about these gifts. However, there is enough on the five
videos to get you started.
If you
think these videos are worthy of your attention, please share them with others.
Thank you!
Short summary.
Discover the charisma gifts given by God, which is a beautiful way to deepen one's faith and understanding of His purpose in our lives. The analogy of receiving a gift at a birthday party is a relatable and effective way to communicate the concept of gratitude and the importance of exploring what God has uniquely placed within each of us.
Charisma gifts, as mentioned in scripture located in Romans 12:6-8, are given by God to believers for the purpose of building up the church and glorifying God.
This message encourages believers to:
- Acknowledge the Gift: Recognize that God has given each of His children something special.
- Explore the Gift: Take time to understand what that gift is through prayer, reflection, and perhaps resources like the video(s) mentioned.
- Use the Gift: Actively put the gift to use in service to God and others, which brings joy and fulfillment.
This perspective helps foster a sense of gratitude and purpose among believers. If you’d like help summarizing these videos, crafting an invitation for others to view them, or diving deeper into spiritual gifts, let me know! Thank you.

Note:
There are Motivational gifts, Ministry Gifts, and Manifestations of the Holy Spirit.
There are Personality Traits, The Art of Thinking and the understanding of our birth order.

All these help us understand who and what we are.
These all help us understand others and strengthen our relationships with others.
They also help us respond rather than react.
When we understand and know who and what we are, we can find our place, not just in the body of Christ but in society.

*Special acknowledgment to all the ministries and people who have helped me learn about the seven gifts. Specifically, Dr. Roy Blizzard and the Institute in Basic Life Principles.
While the teaching of Spiritual Gifts is not new. This concept was highlighted to me through the material developed by the Institute in Basic Life Principles. In their booklet, "Understanding Spiritual Gifts" the IBLP Ministry asserted several years ago that the gifts listed in Romans 12:6-8 were more than a casual grouping of spiritual gifts, ministry gifts and other miscellaneous callings. In the sharing of the material, they saw the need for a “common denominator” that would bind these seven gifts together. The idea of personal motivation was suggested as that “common denominator”.
I am grateful for that insight as it became an encouragement to me to reflect and research deeper into the beautiful depths of the Scriptures.
