Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you

ignorant

— I Corinthians 12:1

It is the will of God for us to have a proper understanding of

the gifts of the Holy Spirit. What is a proper definition for the

Biblical term “gifts of the Spirit?” Many people think that this

refers to natural abilities to give counseling, speak effectively,

etc. But this is not the answer!

The gifts of the Spirit are: a divine and supernatural

enablement to know certain things, or to do certain things,

or to speak certain things. These gifts are identified in I

Corinthians 12:8-11, and can be classified as follows:

1. Administrative Gifts — (to know):

Word of Wisdom

Word of Knowledge

Discerning of spirits

These gifts are helpful in the administration of the church.

2. Evangelism or Ministry Gifts — (to do):

Faith

Gifts of Healing

Working of Miracles

These are especially helpful in reaching the lost with the saving

gospel of Jesus Christ, and also ministering to physical and

emotional needs that exist in the body of Christ.

Acknowledgments Living Logos was the heart-work of Bro Dale Starks and Sis Josephine Starks, missionaries to Singapore in the early 1980s. As the original authors of this devotionals, the Starks meant for these self-study materials to help new converts (and matured saints alike) get a hold of an understanding of God’s written Word. Since Sis Stark’s passing in 2013, the couple had graciously entrusted Tabernacle of Joy with its copyright. Therefore, with every print run, we would like to honour their life work and sacrifice in bringing the gospel to Singapore. This copy is an updated and revised version. Be blessed as you immerse yourself in the Word and allow God to transform you into the likeness of Jesus Christ. 1
