Sunday Word- Spiritual Gifts

Happy Sunday lovely people!How has your day been?what did you do?Did you go to church?or you stayed at home and watched Africa magic?? :)
Well,i went to church and as usual,i taught sunday school. Church was fun and my kids were so cooperative except for the very little ones who decided they would run around the church and fight each other.I had to be very strict to get them to listen to me
Today's word was about Spiritual gifts and the scripture was taken from Romans 12:6-8
            SPIRITUAL GIFTS
Every believer is a gifted person.As long as you have received Jesus as your saviour,you have a spiritual gift.These spiritual gifts are an evidence of Gods grace at work in your life.

What are the Spiritual gifts?
Romans 12:6-8 lists seven spiritual gifts.They are

Prophecy
Ministry
Teaching
Exhortation
Giving
Leading
Showing Mercy.

As Christians,we need to use our gifts to help others.If you are yet to find your gift ask God to help you see it and use it. l have been blessed with the gift of Teaching. I love to teach and impart knowledge on others.I may not be perfect but i try my best.
As you read and reflect on the various spiritual gifts,which gift(s) have you been blessed with?



Enjoy your Sunday!

Sundays!

Sundays are my favorite days of the week and that is because I get to go to church and praise the Lord for all his goodness and mercies(yes,i am spiritual like that). I also love going to church because i get too see' my kids'(i am a sunday school teacher ).The kids bring sunshine into my life even though they are naughty half of the time..I am always looking for new ways to make my  class fun to give the kids a reason to come to church every Sunday(drop a comment if you have any ideas). So today, i organised a competition and it was fun! The kids were just super excited and brought on their A game for the competition. Well, at the end my pastors daughter won and now i owe her a first prize(any ideas???). Well, aside the competition, we also had  an interesting discussion on Quiet time which i would love to share with you.

QUIET TIME: WHEN , HOW?
Quiet time entails spending time with God. Paul told the Thessalonians to “pray without ceasing” and God told Joshua to meditate on his word day and night (1 Thess 5:17; Joshua 1:8) As Christians, we are to make it a point to make God a big part of our lives because without him we are nothing. 
            Quiet time= prayer+ word+ meditation+remembrance
Before you start your quiet time,it is important to pray  for the Holy Spirit to  help you get understanding of the word you are about to read.After that,you read the word,meditate on it and try to remember it always.
Having your quiet time is as easy as ABC. All you need is a Bible. If you don't have a devotional guide, you can choose to read a chapter of the Bible a day and pray for the Spirit to give you the understanding of the word you are reading.If you have a devotional guide, it make your work even much easier.it would guide you to have your quiet time.
Sometimes life get in the way and we are unable to spend quality time with our maker(even i am guilty of this); We get too busy at work,we are tired, we wake up late but in all things we need to put God first. You don't need to set aside an hour to spend time with him. You can do that anywhere:in traffic,in the bathroom, whilst waiting for a client...literally anywhere!

I hope i have inspired someone(including myself) to have their quiet time daily from today.. Amen!

Much love!
