6. Prophecy (1 Corinthians 14)
"Eagerly desire spiritual gifts," says Paul, "especially the gift of prophecy" (1 Cor 14:1). But why does he single out prophecy as a gift we should desire? According to the Bible, prophecy is based on a revelation from God and, when used properly, can powerfully impact other people.
