My Desire

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: 1 Corinthians 12:31 Now eagerly desire the greater gifts. O-bservation: St. Paul had just finished an expose on the nine gifts of the Spirit, which are: Wisdom, Knowledge, Faith, Healing, Miracles, Prophecy, Discernment, Tongues, and the Interpretation Of Tongues. But then he said, “eagerly desire the greater gifts.” A-pplication: At some point one would ask, what could be greater than what we’ve just read about? But still, if you’re like me you think, “well if there is something greater than those nine gifts of the Spirit that would be ‘My Desire.’” In the next chapter Paul...

Gifts That Build Up The Church

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: 1 Corinthians 14:12 So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit, try to excel in those that build up the church.

Jesus told them that he had something against this church, and it was that a number of them had been deceived by a false prophetess named Jezebel.

They’re Under CONTROL

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture: 1 Corinthians 14:32 The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets. O-bservation: St. Paul used this chapter to discuss the gifts and workings of the Holy Spirit within the context of a church gathering. In bringing it to a close, he said that every gift a prophet had was subject to the control of the prophet. In other words, prophets or people blessed with a gift were never to be known as out of control. Instead, the church knew “They’re Under Control.” A-pplication: I’ve been in church meetings before where a gift or...
