1 Corinthians 12:7
Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.

Merong ibinigay sa bawat mananampalataya, kahit man lang isang gift o kakayahan, para sa ikabubuti ng lahat. Sa iba pa nga, higit sa isa ang ibinigay. Ang spiritual gift ay ibinibigay ng Panginoon para isuko sa church.

Pagka yung gift natin, let’s say the gift of teaching, preaching, giving, supporting, encouraging, serving, or the gift of our presence ay isinuko natin sa church, nakabubuti ito sa lahat sapagkat kailangan ito ng church. Nakabubuti rin sa atin dahil tayo man ay nagpupunla para sa ating eternal reward.

At hindi lang yun, habang tayo ay nakikisalamuha sa mga kapatiran at ibinibigay yung gift natin, yung gift naman nila ay naibibigay sa atin, napapabuti rin tayo. Ang hindi nagsu-surrender ng kanyang spiritual gift to the body of the Lord is stealing from the body of the Lord. Kaya kung meron tayong gift at hindi natin isinusuko sa church, hindi tayo nagiging kapaki-pakinabang. Tayo ay nagnanakaw. Ang spiritual gift ay ibinigay sa atin, hindi para sa atin, but for the common good. In other words, the spiritual gifts given to us by the Lord belongs to all. Church property yun. If I don’t minister to you, I am stealing from you.

So what is important? Huwag magreklamong “wala akong spiritual gift.” Instead, find your gift and use it.
