My\u00a0natural instinct\u00a0was to go to the same shopping centre where we bought the last one, knowing it was good and had lasted in use for a while. And as I drove into the parking lot of the shopping mall, I heard a voice within me &#8211; the Holy Spirit saying I should check the MOBILE APP of another shop in another shopping centre location, which\u00a0wasn&#8217;t\u00a0part of\u00a0my plan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\">So, I checked the MOBILE APP like I was instructed, to see the kind of the pressing Iron I intended. And when I did, I went into the shopping mall\u00a0I\u2019d\u00a0just parked at, with the MOBILE APP was still active on my phone to compare. To my awesome surprise &#8211; lo and behold &#8211; the exact pressing Iron was there on App. But there was a problem &#8211; 10% difference in the prices and the warranty terms differed compared to the shop the Holy Spirit told me to check while I was in the parking lot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\">And since prudence is the scriptural essence, I left for the shopping mall of the MOBILE APP like I was informed and instructed by the Holy Spirit while at the parking lot\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0 for\u00a0the price difference and better warranty too. I found PEACE in that obedience and SAVINGS in cost of buying plus ASSURANCE of the needed warranty for my purchase. The essence of the CHARISMATIC GIFTS in us is at WORK within me, leading and guiding as in our REDEMPTION bill of rights and privileges in Christ Jesus\u2019 stead. Amen. The essence is\u00a0just about living\u00a0and doing life by OBEYING THE INSTRUCTIONS of the Holy Spirit as given through the CHARISMATIC GIFTS within you, which are of Him as written in the Holy Writ of 1 John 2:20, 27.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><i>&#8220;But ye have an UNCTION from the Holy One, and ye know all things . . . 27 But the ANOINTING which ye have RECEIVED of him ABIDETH in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the SAME ANOINTING TEACHETH you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him&#8221;\u00a0<\/i><b>1 John 2:20, 27<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Why is the story of the pressing Iron important?

And the Holy Spirit comes with the CHARISMATIC GIFTS (which could be called SPIRITUAL GIFTS). I used the CHARISMATIC GIFTS to differentiate because everything God gave us in Christ Jesus comes spiritual, which by our act of FAITH in obedience to such gifts, are then made physical &#8211; tangible, touchable, and reachable.<b>\u00a0Ephesians 1:3, 20; Ephesians 2:6; Proverbs 10:22.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\">CHARISMA could be defined as the ability or\u00a0synergy\u00a0within that gives one the enabling to attract, charm,\u00a0boost,\u00a0and influence others towards a given driven CAUSE &#8211; Plan,\u00a0Purpose\u00a0and Pursuit. CHARISMA is often said to be a mysterious ineffable quality, you either have it or\u00a0don&#8217;t\u00a0have it, but however everyone needs it to do life in their CALLINGS and Talent to be fulfilled in God. For the term charisma (\/k\u0259\u02c8r\u026azm\u0259\/; pl. charismata, adj. charismatic) has two senses: COMPELLING ATTRACTIVENESS or charm that can inspire devotion in others; also, a DIVINELY CONFERRED power or talent to make you be what you want to be in LIFE and GODLINESS. And all these by the Holy Spirit through the WORD makes one to be fulfilled meaningfully in Christ Jesus\u2019 stead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\">The Holy Spirit is the personality that ENABLES God&#8217;s GRACE to activate a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER. Therefore, to ensure a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER in life and godliness, you need to be BUILT UP by the Holy Spirit in the WORD of God as\u00a0it&#8217;s\u00a0written:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><i>&#8220;But you, beloved, BUILD yourselves UP on [the foundation of] your most holy faith [continually progress, rise like an EDIFICE higher and higher], pray in the Holy Spirit, 21 and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life&#8221;\u00a0<\/i><b>Jude 1:20-21 (Amplified).<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\">And for BELIEVERS in Christ, our CHARISMATIC or CHARISMA life which is\u00a0as a result of\u00a0SPIRITUAL GIFTS (endowment) cum TALENTS is sustained in grace by the SPIRITUAL FRUIT (Character) of the Holy Spirit. It must be noted that the sustainability of your CHARISMA or CHARISMATIC life is by the CHARACTER you\u00a0exhibit\u00a0in and through it.\u00a0Otherwise\u00a0it becomes a CARICATURE in every respect of manifestation and operations.\u00a0These spiritual fruit\u00a0that formulates one&#8217;s character to uphold integrity and etiquette of one&#8217;s charisma or charismatic gifts and acts are (but not limited to) as in these Scriptures:<b>\u00a0Galatians 5:22-23; 2 Peter 1:5-8; Philippians 4:8.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\">There are nine (9) major charismatic gifts given to us to be BUILT UP and MATURED to HELP us live in the realm of being ABOVE ONLY, meaning, from the ordinary common realm in cause of doing life and living godly.\u00a0So,\u00a0believers have no excuse of living a limited life by any measure or be subjected or controlled or dominated by any as a helpless one. Each is to use the charismatic gifts to PROFIT and EDIFY &#8211; BUILD UP &#8211; and MATURE each other in Christ Jesus, not the other way round like we see some today: ROBBING, CONTROLLING, SUBJECTING, DOMINEERING OTHERS, (vulnerable ones) by their CHARISMATIC GIFTS; while OTHERS use theirs to create SCHISM &#8211; DIVISION, CONTENTION, ENVY, STRIFE, etc, in the local and collective BODY MINISTRY of Christ Jesus &#8211;\u00a0<b>Philippians 1:15-18; 1 Corinthians\u00a01:10-17; 1 Corinthians 14:12, 26, 33; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27<\/b>.
