A productive life in the Power of the Holy Spirit
Dr. Roberto Miranda(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY:
In 1 Corinthians 14, Paul emphasizes that the priority of the Church should not simply be supernatural manifestations, but that there should be profit and advancement for the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. The gifts should be used in a way that benefits visitors and new believers, and pastors have the responsibility of maintaining order and ensuring that God's purposes are fulfilled. The most important thing is that there is fruit, progress, advancement, and strengthening of the Kingdom of God. Tongues are important, but it is better to speak in an understandable language that people can understand. Within the enthusiasm of a Pentecostal cult, there must be a sense of purpose, an orderly sequence, and a benefit for the Church when the gifts are manifested.We end our long study of the gifts of the Holy Spirit with a final meditation on the 14th chapter of First Corinthians, where the Apostle Paul continues to establish what the order should be and the methodology used to administer the gifts in the life of the Church. .
And we see throughout this chapter that Paul is interested in one thing, and that is that the gifts that are manifested in a particular service, are of benefit, in some way, either for the new believers who are visiting, or for the regular members of the Congregation. And that in reality the priority of the Church should not be simply that there are supernatural manifestations but that there is profit and advancement for the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
