Through Christ We Are Enriched In Every Spiritual Gift

"That in everything ye are enriched by Him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Corinthians 1:5-8

We have Jesus enriching us so that we will never come behind in any Spiritual gift as we wait for His return! A-men, A-men, and A-men! “But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 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: But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as He will.” 1 Corinthians 7-10 Praise God, the Truth that sets us free is that we have Jesus enriching us so that we will not fall behind in tongues, in interpreting tongues, in faith, in miracles, in healings, in wisdom, in knowledge, in prophecy, or in discernment! How great is that! So many I know question some of these gifts, but it really doesn’t matter, the people in the upper room on the Day of Pentecost had never experienced tongues, but that didn’t limit God, and because God worked through them thousands were saved by experiencing that sign! If we have truly made Jesus the Lord of our lives, then we will fall behind in no spiritual gift! God will do things that so far exceed what we can think of, regardless of our maturity level! The people on the Day of Pentecost had just been filled with the Spirit, only for minutes and that in no way hindered what God was doing!
