GIFTS ARE IMPORTANT! #5

-











The Bible has a lot to say about gift giving. This week I'll share  scriptures about, the gifts we  give to God and the gifts God gives to us.



LIFE LESSON:

GOD'S GIFTS ARE AMAZING




1 CORINTHIANS 7:7


For I wish that all men were even as I myself.
But each one has his own gift from God, one
in this manner and another in that.

1 CORINTHIANS 12:4, 9, 28

4 There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

9 To another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts
of healings by the same Spirit,


28 And God has appointed these in the church: first 
apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that 
miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.


1 CORINTHIANS 13:2

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand 
all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all 
faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not 
love, I am nothing.


EPHESIANS  2:8

For by grace you have been saved through faith,
and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
 

1 TIMOTHY 4:14

Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was
given to you by prophecy with the laying on of 
the hands of the eldership.

HEBREWS 2:4

God also bearing witness both with signs and 
wonders,with various miracles, and gifts of the 
Holy Spirit, according to His own will?


JAMES 1:17

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from
above, and comes down from the Father of 
lights, with whom there is no variation or 
shadow of turning.

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h
