But when we have been made perfect and complete, then the need for these inadequate special gifts will come to an end, and they will disappear." 1Cor. 13:9-10
No matter how gifted you're in the realm of the Spirit, there is a limit to which you can know. This is partly because we're still of the flesh, so human error can't be possibly ruled out.
I sincerely believe what the scripture meant about the preaching of those most gifted is still so poor is that we all preach based on our experiences. Your preaching is limited to your knowledge. Any preacher that preaches outside his experiences will soon be swimming in murky waters.
Now being made perfect and complete is talking about love. The Love of God is where you find perfection and completeness. Forget those R n B you hear before going to bed. Your perfection isn't in your love for your husband or wife. Your completion isn't in any romantic relationship. Your wholeness is in your singleness. You don't need a better half. What you need is a better whole.
I still wonder why some die-hard, spiritual enthusiast believes that the fulness of God is measured in the display of annointing and spiritual gifts. The fruits of the Spirit is the character development for every true believer. It is the fruits that takes you to heaven not the gifts. In the fruit is the seed of God and whoever has the seed of God cannot sin.
Any annointing without character is annoyance branded in the garb of ignorance. Sadly,there are many annointed Men of God without character.
I'm not trying to play down on spiritual gifts but permit me to say this, you can not walk in love and not have the gifts.
You only need spiritual gifts to work for God. It is the fruits of the Spirit that enhance your walk with God. And the first step in your walk is love.
Kindly share.
