Shalom Kingdom citizens,
Once again, use the gifts to glorify Him! As for of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be the glory forever. How to apply the gift; first: know your gift. Here, ‘gift’ refers to ‘grace given,’ ‘grace gift.’ Therefore, it cannot be translated in one word in Indonesian, but it is ‘kasih karunia.’
Romans 12:6 says, “Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us.” We should not be envious of other’s gift because it is given; just like the member of the body which has its own gift. Thus, if we are given the gift to prophesy, let us do it with our faith. To prophesy does not mean to forecast, e.g. I see you will meet a tall dark man with white teeth. It’s not like that; but it means to edify, exhort and comfort.
