One of my favorite topics is spiritual gifts. As believers in Christ filled with the Holy Spirit, we were each given a spiritual gift, and you likely have more than one. However, you will have one that stands out amongst the rest. If you haven’t pinpointed your gift, many tests you can take online will help you determine what yours is. Some of them are listed in the following verses:

For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 1 Corinthians 12:8-10

This list is not extensive; there are many more, but you get the picture. These gifts are not self-serving; they are to edify the church, so we function in a spiritual capacity and work as a well-oiled machine for the cause of Christ. It’s not a money maker; it is primarily to bring others to the saving knowledge of Jesus and glorify the Lord. There are sub-categories under these gifts. As an example, my main gift is teaching, but my teaching is through writing, so my sub-category is writing. If you have a chance and don’t know what your gifts are, find a test online; it’s fun and eye-opening at the same time. You might be surprised at what you learn about yourself; once you know, you can start honing in on them to help perfect them.
