DEVOTION ~ THE GIFT
Theme: The Gift
Text: Acts 10:45&46
45 And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God.
In yesterday's devotion, we learned that, while Peter was still speaking the Holy Spirit fell upon the Gentiles in Cornelius' house. Today's devotion is an explanation of what the Gentiles had experienced. Those of the circumcision got the clue that, the Gentiles have received the gift of the Holy Spirit. The first sign of the gift of the Spirit was speaking with tongues. The Holy Spirit gave them the utterance to speak languages other than their native dialect. It was not by their personal ability to speak other languages but rather by the works of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has diverse gifts that He freely gives to anyone who avails to His prompting and leading. Do you desire the gift of speaking in tongues, prophecy, healing, teaching, wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord? Look no further, the Holy Spirit is the answer to your desires. When the gift is bestowed, it stirs in you the heart of gratitude to magnify God.
Let us Pray: Dear God, look favorably on me and grant me the gift of the Holy Spirit. I receive the gift of speaking in tongues, prophecy, healing, teaching, wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. This I pray in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!
