Seek Ye First: 4 Tests and Different

4 tests later and an answer that I did not expect. This journey, I have been on for 30 days, I have been looking and examining the gifts of the spirit and the gifts God has given me. The top three I got were apostleship, faith, and service/helps. I do not tell you this to boast about what I got but to tell you I have taken these before and the answers I got were a bit different than I remember at least for the first and second ones the third stayed the same. So, in this journey in the spirit wanted to encourage you to examine your gifts and see what gifts you have. you may have taken this before and know your gifts, but I thought I did and now that I did four different tests, I realize that mine at least the first two are not what I thought.

 And having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith; or ministry, let us give ourselves to our ministry; or he that teacheth, to his teaching; or he that exhorteth, to his exhorting: he that giveth, let him do it with liberality; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness. Romans 12:6-8 

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord. And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal. For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit: to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit; 10 and to another workings of [a]miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits: to another divers kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will. 1 Corinthians 12:4-11.

We each have been given different spiritual gifts according to God and we are to use those gifts to glorify God and Bring others to glorify God. My point is this and it is to that take time today to relook at the gifts that God has given you and see if they are the right ones or if they are different than you thought. There are many tests you can take for free online so take time and take one today. In the Bible, it lists the gifts, and they are listed above. So, take time and see if you are surprised by what you get, and pray and seek God once you have gotten your results.
I have always taken the same test but this time I thought I would take a different one to see if I would get the same as the test I've always taken, and I believe I did. So again, I say take one today and see what your gifts are for the first time or to see if the results might not be what you thought or thought they were. Mine were not at least the first two, so I will have to do my research and see what they are all about.

Have a blessed day!!!!
