“Christ has generously divided out his gifts to us.” (Ephesians 4:7 CEV)
It’s His grace at work in our lives.

3 kinds of spiritual Gifts
There are 3 forms of religious gifts. These gifts aren't one thing we tend to possess; they're God’s supernatural ability spotlight in our lives in numerous ways in which. The Bible calls it a manifestation.
“There are different forms of gifts, however, the same Spirit distributes them. There are different forms of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and everyone, it's the same God at work. now to each one, the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.” (1 Corinthians 12:4-7 NIV)
There are ministry gifts, manifestation gifts, and motivational gifts. All believers take part in these gifts in numerous ways.
Let’s look at every one of them separately.
Gifts of the Holy Spirit: Ministry
The ministry gifts are the way God works with what believers do to serve others and meet their needs. It’s how we minister or ad-minister the love, grace, and truth of God to others. To administer is to apply and bring it into use.
“And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.” (1 Corinthians 12:5 KJV)
The Bible provides an inventory of those attending gifts and their purpose.
“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and lecturers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and the data of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;” (Ephesians 4:11-13, stress mine)
Many refer to them as the 5-fold ministry. Not everyone is called to the ministry but in 1 Corinthians 12:28, it adds a gift for helping.
God gracefully empowers us all to help one another by His Spirit.

Gifts of the Holy Spirit: Manifestation
Manifestation gifts are the ones people tend to sensationalize and therefore disqualify themselves from enjoying. In one Corinthians 12:7, it says God provides to every one of us, not just some. this means everyone.
“Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. to one there is given through the Spirit a message of knowledge, to another a message of knowledge by means of identical Spirit, to another religion by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. all these are the work of the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.
(1 Corinthians 12:7-11, stress mine)
This supernatural demonstration of the Holy Spirit’s power is to serve others as well as minister to ourselves. It’s commonly thought these gifts are only to minister to others but that’s limiting the grace of God. The Spirit will give you a message of wisdom when you ask for one in your life just as easily as He can give one to you to deliver to someone else. Let the holy spirit minister to you also.
These manifestation gifts are how God works through us bringing joy and fruitfulness in every one of our lives.
