Course 113: Concerning Spiritual Gifts - Lesson #8
How spiritual gifts are to be utilized for maximum effectiveness
There are some clear spiritual principles that dictate how spiritual gifts are to be utilized:
1. Romans 12: 1 - The first principle is that of death to self and total consecration to God. Those who obey God and lay their selves and ambitions at the altar of sacrifice make themselves reliable vessels God can use to express Himself and bless His saints.
2. Romans 12: 2 - It takes renewal of the mind to understand and appreciate the things of the Spirit. The spirit of religion and religiosity on the one hand and the spirit of modernity which the pseudo-kingdom movement offers blind people from receiving the things of the Spirit of God. 1 Corinthians 2: 1- 16 exposit this reality in detail.
3. To know and utilize the spiritual gifts, the saints must know and understand the word of God. Ignorance of the Word will cause saints to walk in darkness.
4. 1 Corinthians 12:1-13. Knowing The Holy Spirit, Communion with the Holy Spirit, yieldedness to Him and creating an enabling environment for Him to play His appointed role as God with us in the Now is vital for spiritual gifts to be received and utilized. In the present dimension of The Kingdom, The Holy Spirit is the instrument for engrafting us into the Body of Christ, imparting spiritual gifts and empowering our witness.
5. 1 Corinthians 12: 3 Spiritual gifts must be used in a way which honours Christ. The gifts declare the Church to be indeed supernatural and His Body. The Body must honour its head! Any activity or attitude which is not Christ honouring will negate the value and import of spiritual gifts. Any so called miracle working ability or indeed any supposed Charismatic manifestation which draws people away from Christ and point them to the human vessel to say and do his/her bidding is inherently standing on a faulty foundation. That is why it is wrong to over hype or promote human beings when advertising Kingdom events and meetings. In the same way, any doctrine or teaching which depreciates the centrality of Jesus Christ in the Kingdom agenda of God is inherently standing on a faulty foundation.

Course 113: Concerning Spiritual Gifts - Lesson #7
What are the ways to discover our spiritual gifts?
One of the pervasive influences of Western Culture on modern saints is the negation of core principles of Scripture and culture of the Kingdom of God. Western life is based on the model that anyone with sufficient education and ambition can succeed in whatever they desire. Consequently, many saints have joined the rush to various cities in search of the elusive 'golden fleece' without true recourse to the will of God.
In the same vein, many saints are venturing into various facets of ministry and businesses based on their self will and ambition. As we have learnt variously from scripture, not all things we claim to 'do for God' are acceptable to Him. As 1 Corinthians 3;10-15 reveal, a day is coming when the motive and substances with which we built in ministry - whether in the pulpit or market place - will be tried by the fire of God. It is certainly wrong for a saint to carry on in life without these vital equipments:
- Spiritual gifts and other virtues that make up the spiritual DNA.
- Inability to hear the voice of the Great Shepherd and King, Jesus Christ and taking major or even minor decisions of life outside His will.
- Understanding of whether it is the will of God to proceed into specific businesses and ministries.
- Vision of what God created, redeemed and preserved their lives to be and to do
- Specific locations - including local congregations, ministries, cities - where God planted them to prosper
- Vessels assigned as Destiny Helpers.

Course 113 - Concerning Spiritual Gifts Lesson #6
No.23. The Gift of Dreaming Dreams
Dreams are one of the ways God communicates with His people. In every generation the Lord lays hold of some people and reveals present or future events to them. In the Old Testament, there were a few notable dreamers. Joseph was exceptional in the sense that he had two associated gifts: dreaming dreams and interpreting them. With Dreams, he was set on the course of destiny. With the gift of interpretation, he stepped into it as Prime Minister of Egypt. Genesis chapters 37, 40, 41.
In Joel 2: 28, 29 where the outpouring which was fulfilled on the day of Pentecost was prophesied accurately, dreaming of dreams was indicated as one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Speaking by the Spirit, Apostle Peter confirmed this in his very first public sermon at Jerusalem Acts 2: 14 - 21
Satanic Dreams
Not all dreams are messages from God. There are two other sources of dreams. Some dreams are projections from Satan and his agents designed to either confuse or intimidate the saints. Worse still, some dreams are projections from the enemy which, when naively accepted and confessed by the saints, confer to Satan the legal authority to execute them. It is naïve to accept all dreams as from God and speak of them as such.

Spiritual Gifts - Exposition of gifts #8-22
Yesterday we outline spiritual gifts #1-7 in 1 Corinthians 12. Today we continue to outline the other gifts in 1 Corinthians 12 and other parts of scripture - both the explicitly stated and the implied gifts. Please read on...
8. Speaking in Tongues. This gift should be properly called communicating messages from God in other tongues. It is different from the general sign of the infilling in the Holy Spirit which is accompanied by utterance in other tongues as in Acts 2: 1- 6.
Here in 1 Corinthians 12:10, it speaks of the ability to receive and communicate to saints in any setting, a message from the Lord. Not every saint is blessed with this gift as 1 Corinthians 12:28 shows. Those who try to pretend that they have it are guilty of lying and passing off under false pretence! Judgement day beckons when God will bring everything to light and judge people for what they did in His name 2 Corinthians 5:10. This is the most abused practice in Pentecostal and Charismatic communities largely because of two factors - Ignorance and Indiscipline.
Core Principles for exercising the gift of speaking in tongues within congregations/fellowship - 1 Corinthians 14
