Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 20 August 2025 By Dr. D.K Olukoya — Gifts Of The Spirit (1): Revelational Gifts

TOPIC: Gifts Of The Spirit (1): Revelational Gifts

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Esther 8:1-10:3; 1 Corinthians 12:27-13:13; Psalm 37:1-11; Proverbs 21:23-24

FIRE SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 (KJV)

1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.

3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.

6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.

7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

10 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:

11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

MEMORY VERSE: “The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.” – Deuteronomy 29:29 (KJV)

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES:
The purpose of spiritual gifts is to build up the body of Christ, not to build up our egos

MFM Devotional For Today 2025 MESSAGE

The revelation gifts of the Holy Spirit is to equip the Church to express the fullness of God’s love to the world. These gifts are given to the Church to benefit both believers and unbelievers.

The gifts represent the work God does through the life of a believer in a given situation to demonstrate His supernatural power. Consequently, when the unbelievers see these manifestations, they too shall believe and surrender their lives to Christ.

The three revelation gifts as listed in 1 Corinthians 12:7-11 are word of wisdom, word of knowledge and the discerning of spirits.

The word of wisdom is the revelation through the power of the Holy Spirit about the future of a person, a place or a thing.

The word of knowledge is the revelation through the power of the Holy Spirit concerning the present or past situation of a person, a place or a thing.

Previous Devotional

The gift of God in a believer to identify the power behind a situation or in a person is known as the discernment of spirits.

After listing the spiritual gifts, the Apostle Paul added this critical statement: “But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will” (1 Corinthians 12:11).

As you learn about the gifts, remember that the Spirit of God is the Source of these gifts, and they are manifested to bring God glory.

To gain an understanding of the gifts, one must rely on a study of the individual terms, an accurate interpretation of the Greek words used, and wisdom from the Holy Spirit (John 14:26.) Who is able to teach and enlighten us on all things.

As individual believer is so gifted, it will help us to work for God effortlessly as the Holy Spirit empower and enables us.

These supernatural, spiritual gifts are awe-inspiring and are to be coveted by all believers. As instruments of God’s work, Christians must seek to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit and to submit to God through these gifts, instead of yielding to the influence of their sinful natures.

When the Holy Spirit works among believers and bestows these spiritual gifts, there will be peace and orderliness, not strife and confusion. God will be glorified and the Church will be edified.
