       The believer who prophesies: sometimes a person will give us a word from God. They’ll say exactly what we need to hear. It can also be true that an individual with the gift of prophecy tells of something that will happen in the future. The person will give a promise from God or a warning perhaps. Next, I think the gift of service is pretty self-explanatory; the individual goes about serving the church and others in varying ways, hands on. We understand what teaching is. Who is a believer who exhorts? What is exhortation? That means encouraging. Boy, we need some encouragers, don’t we? Everyone needs encouragement. And I believe this gift can commonly work in conjunction with teaching. Then there is the person who gives more monetarily than the norm. God has blessed the believer financially, or with a greater heart to give and perhaps sacrifice more than usual in this area. We know what leading is, and acts of mercy I think are people who provide comfort for others, like visiting the elderly, widows, or children waiting to be adopted; visiting hospitals, or praying for people, to name some examples.
