2. (1 COR. 12:4-8)
The word of
knowledge
The power to change your
attitude
3. "the word of wisdom," which related to NEW
revelations
Wisdom penetrates deeper than knowledge.
Knowledge relates to things that are to be
done. Wisdom, to things eternal: hence,
wisdom is not, like knowledge,
A spiritual gift is a supernatural ability
sovereignty bestowed upon every Christian by
the Holy Spirit, enabling him or her to carry
out their divinely assigned function as a
member of Christ’s body.
4. These abilities are not native
within us; they are transmitted
to us
Spiritual gifts are given to us to
enable us to do what we cannot
do in and of ourselves
Spiritual gifts are spiritual in
that they produce spiritual
results
5. MOSES JUDGE THE PEOPLE OF GOD,
WERE GIVEN A PORTION OF HIS
(MOSES’) SPIRIT TO ENABLE AND
EQUIP THEM FOR THEIR MINISTRY
(NUMBERS 11:25). ELISHA WAS GIVEN
A DOUBLE PORTION OF ELIJAH’S
SPIRIT (2 KINGS 2:9-15). SAUL WAS
CHOSEN BY GOD AND DESIGNATED
AS THE KING, AND THEN HE WAS
ENDOWED WITH THE POWER OF THE
HOLY SPIRIT (1 SAMUEL 9:15–10:13
6. WHAT WE THINK ABOUT WILL
DETERMINE WHAT KIND OF
ATTITUDE WE WILL HAVE
Your outlook on life begins with your
thinking.
Your attitude affects your
relationships, family, job, friends
and your view of yourself.
You can’t prevent a negative thought
from entering your mind but you can
reject it when it does come
You are influenced by your attitude
7. WE MUST LEARN HOW TO
IMPROVE OUR OWN
ATTITUDE AND DEAL WITH
PEOPLE WHO HAVE A
NEGATIVE OR
DESTRUCTIVE ATTITUDE
8. MANY OF US ARE BLIND
TO OUR ATTITUDES, WE
KNOW A PROBLEM
EXIST IN OUR LIVES,
BUT WE ARE PRETTY
SURE IT’S CAUSED BY
SOMEONE ELSE….
9. WE MAY EVEN BELIEVE
WE’RE JUST GOOD AT
DISCERNING OTHERS’
PROBLEMS AND CONSIDER
A CRITICAL ATTITUDE A
KIND OF SPIRITUAL GIFT…
10. ONE OF THE BEST
THINGS WE CAN DO FOR
OURSELVES IS TO HAVE
AN ATTITUDE
ADJUSTMENT…
11.
12. TIME FOR AN ATTITUDE
ADJUSTMENT
Jonah 1:1-3
Jonah 2:1-2
Jonah 3:1-5 & 10
Jonah 4:
Jonah found enemies he could
not love and did not expect God
to love
13. WHAT DOES THIS TEACH
US
God’s redemptive program includes
everyone
Of all God’s enemies, Assyria had
been the cruelest
People with bad reputations can
know God
God gave Nineveh a chance when no
one else would.
14. Jonah reminds us that we must call all
people to repentance
God wants our enemies to repent so that
they can find relationship apart from
judgment..
God will give a second chance.
Jonah was a reluctant prophet who ran
from the responsibility of revealing God’s
message.
When we seek to run away from the call
of God, we can usually find others ready
to help us escape.
15. JONAH SINNED BY
REBELLING AGAINST THE
KNOWN WILL OF GOD
Knowledge
relates to things
that are to be
done .
