"Abounding
Endowments"
1 Corinthians 14:12
(Amplified
Version)
So it is with yourselves; since you are
so eager and ambitious
to possess
spiritual endowments and manifestations of the
[Holy]
Spirit, [concentrate on] striving to excel and to abound
[in them]
in ways that will build up the church.
The Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthain
Believers in Christ,
with the specific purpose of further explaining
the Spiritual Gifts
received from Holy Spirit as our Rightful
Inheritance.
The
fullness or complete measure of God's Promised outpouring
of HIS Spirit upon believers, was exceedingly apparent in the
lives
of the 1st century apostles and disciples, and this visible
manifestation of God's Holy Spirit is evident today.
Building up the church, encouraging and
edifying the believers
brings Glory and Honor to Christ, where a Believer's Faith is
strengthened and directed for God's purpose of Proclaiming the
Good News of the Gospel to a lost and dying generation.
As Believers, we must
daily seek direction and guidance from
Holy
Spirit, being both encouraged and being
an encouragement,
not only to our
brothers
and sisters in Christ, but for those
around us who are searching
for Peace and a sure HOPE in their
lives. The Apostle
Paul
explains that every Believer must strive
for,
excel and abound in these Gifts, because our heavenly Father
desires that we possess
HIS Power, manifesting through us in ways
that bring Honor and Glory to
HIS Name.
God purposed to bestow HIS Power upon those
who Believe
in Christ Jesus, each one bearing an undisputed witness
to the manifestations of Kingdom WORK, Proclaiming HIM
as
Savior, LORD and KING with both Authority and POWER.
Desiring every part of HIM that I am due
by Inheritance,
then desiring more of HIS Gifts of Holy Spirit is an Obedient
response on my part, to God and HIS Eternal WORD.
O'Lord, YOUR Work is
accomplished through YOUR Spirit,
by whom I desire to be
taught and directed!
Each day I must listen to
YOUR Voice,
for YOUR WORDs speak
loudly to my heart!!
Pour out of YOUR Abundant
and Endless Love,
those Gifts that are my
Inheritance in Christ!!!
Work through me, O'Lord,
that others may know,
YOUR Spirit is Power and
Life, Forever!
Fill YOUR servants with
YOUR Spirit, O'Lord
that Greater and Mightier
WORKs be done!!!
Amen!!!
