KNOWLEDGE

The gift of (word of) knowledge is the divine enablement to discover, accumulate, analyze, and clarify information and ideas which are pertinent to the well-being of the body through the revelation of biblical insight.

1 Corinthians 2:14, 12:8; Acts 5:1-11; Colossians 2:2-3; Mark 2:6-8; John 1:45-50

RECOMMENDED VIDEO:

  • Always be alert and actively aware that God could speak to you with supernatural knowledge of a person or situation. This could be at work, on a plane or at church. This can be a powerful gift when it comes to sharing your faith in Jesus with others in that it displays the supernatural reality of our God.

  • Discern with God and perhaps leaders how best to steward this word of knowledge. It may not be helpful to just tell the person outright. Also, pray about why God may have given you this knowledge.

  • This is a gift that can really serve leaders and so make your leaders know that this is a gift God has given you for the strengthening of the church.
