Introduction


This section is for mature Christians with a sure foundation. Here, we give texts that will teach on a wide range of subjects such as the fruit of the Spirit, the gifts of the Spirit, consecration to God, the imperative of prayer and worship, and spiritual warfare.

The Fruit of the Spirit


The fruit of the Spirit represent the character that every believer should have and these are the standards that we live up to. This article is meant to give a brief study of the fruit of the Spirit, which are: love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, meekness, and self-control.

The Gifts of the Spirit


Spiritual gifts can be defined as drives, opportunities, and results given to us by the Godhead to achieve God's supernatural goals. The Spirit-filled experience is more than just "speaking in tongues." In reality, it is coming into the fullness of the gifts and fruit of the Spirit as outlined in the New Testament (I Corinthians 12:7-11; Galatians 5:22-23). In speaking of the gifts, however, exclusivism is never implied. The gifts are placed in the church as resources to be utilized at the point of need for ministry in the body. This means that not every believer will have the same gifts as every other believer. Rather, the Holy Spirit is the Author and Dispenser of the gifts to bring about integrity in worship and kingdom expression.
