Romans 12:6-8 (CSB) 6 According to the grace given to us, we have different gifts: If prophecy, use it according to the proportion of one's faith; 7 if service, use it in service; if teaching, in teaching; 8 if exhorting, in exhortation; giving, with generosity; leading, with diligence; showing mercy, with cheerfulness.

These seven gifts are typically referred to as the motivational gifts. When serving God in your gift(s) they will excite you. For me my top 2 are service and giving.

The five fold ministry gifts are: Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, Teacher (Ephesians 4:7-13). These are typically your job in the body. Mine may be Prophet and Teacher.

The nine gifts of The Spirit are: prophesy, speaking in tongues, interpreting tongues, faith, healing, miracles, word of wisdom, word of knowledge, discernment (1 Corinthians 12:4-11, 28-31). These are the gifts the Holy Spirit uses in our lives to help encourage the body of Christ. Mine might be prophecy, word of wisdom and word of knowledge.

It would take 293,930 people to reach all the different combinations of these three lists of gifts. What are your motivional, ministry, and gifts of The Spirit?
