• No, that's why it's called gifts. It is meant to benefit me.

• Yes, it is given to edify the church.

1 Peter 4:10​

​"As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God"

WORD

​Spiritual Gifts according to 1 Peter 4:10:

• ​are received by every Christian ("As every man hath received the gift"). The first letter of Peter was circulated among the Christian churches in the Roman province of Asia Minor.

• ​should be used in ministry ("even so minister the same one to another"). We will serve others with the gifts given to us.

• have been entrusted & ​should be used properly ("as good stewards")

• ​are given in variety according to God's grace ("manifold grace of God")

"​Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." (NIV)

1 Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. 2 You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols. 3 Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.

7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

OBSERVE

1 Corinthians 12​

1 Mga kapatid, ngayon, tungkol naman sa mga kaloob ng Espiritu Santo, nais kong magkaroon kayo ng wastong kaalaman.

2 Alam ninyo na noong hindi pa kayo sumasampalataya, kayo'y nailigaw sa mga diyus-diyosan na hindi naman nakakapagsalita.

3 Kaya't nais kong malaman ninyo na walang taong pinapatnubayan ng Espiritu ng Diyos ang magsasabing, “Sumpain si Jesus!” At hindi rin masasabi ninuman, “Si Jesus ay Panginoon,” kung siya'y hindi pinapatnubayan ng Espiritu Santo.

4 Iba't iba ang mga espirituwal na kaloob, ngunit iisa lamang ang Espiritung nagkakaloob ng mga ito.

5 Iba't iba ang paraan ng paglilingkod, ngunit iisa lamang ang Panginoong pinaglilingkuran.

6 Iba't iba ang mga gawain, ngunit iisa lamang ang Diyos na kumikilos sa mga taong gumagawa ng mga iyon.

7 Para sa ikabubuti ng lahat, ang bawat isa'y binibigyan ng patunay na nagpapakitang nasa kanya ang Espiritu.

8 Ang ilan sa atin ay napagkalooban ng kakayahang magsalita ng mensahe ng karunungan. Ang iba naman ay pinagkalooban ng kaalaman. Subalit iisang Espiritu ang nagkakaloob nito.

9 Ang Espiritu ring iyon ang nagkakaloob sa iba ng pananampalataya sa Diyos, at sa iba'y ang kapangyarihang magpagaling sa mga maysakit.

10 May pinagkakalooban ng kapangyarihang gumawa ng mga himala; sa iba naman ay kakayahang magpahayag ng mensaheng mula sa Diyos, at sa iba ay kakayahang kumilala kung aling kaloob ang mula sa Espiritu at kung alin ang hindi. May pinagkakalooban ng kakayahang magsalita sa iba't ibang mga wika, at sa iba naman ay ang magpaliwanag ng mga wikang iyon.

11 Ngunit isang Espiritu lamang ang gumagawa ng lahat ng ito at namamahagi ng iba't ibang kaloob sa bawat isa, ayon sa kanyang ipinasya
