Question:
1. Should we know our spiritual gift?
2. Can we have more than one gift?

3. Are there more gifts than what are listed in Romans 12 (from God), 1 Corinthians 12 (from the Spirit), and Ephesians 4 (from Christ)?

Answer:
1. No, because we may have a job from the Lord that we don’t think we have a gift for, but even so we are told “whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might” (Ecclesiastes 9:10). We shouldn’t limit God with what we think our gifts are.

Timothy knew that his gift was a pastor, and was encouraged to stir it up and use it (Philippians 2:20, 1 Timothy 4:14, 2 Timothy 1:6). We are responsible to use whatever gifts God has given us. “A man’s gift maketh room for him” (Proverbs 18:16). If others know our gift it may help us to use it more. May we be like Paul who told the Lord, “What wilt thou have me to do” (Acts 9:6; 22:10). Be available to be used.
Whatever our gift we should not be occupied with it, but be occupied with using it to glorify Christ by edifying His people: “Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church” (1 Corinthians 14:12).
2. Probably, the apostle Paul had many gifts. He was an apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, teacher, and possibly had many more gifts. Our spiritual gift doesn’t have to line up with our natural talents. For example Moses did not want to, or feel able to speak, but the Lord used Him mightily in leading the children of Isreal. “And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue” (Exodus 4:10).3. We do not have a complete list in the Word of the spiritual gifts the Lord gives to His people. The fact that we are exhorted to be “zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church” (1 Corinthians 14:12), shows that gifts are as varied as the need.
