The gift of hospitality enables certain members of the Body of Christ to provide an open house and warm welcome for those in need of food and lodging. Not only do those with the gift have the skills to offer warm hospitality, but they also love to do it.
1 Corinthians 12:28 And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.
“The gift of administration is the special ability to understand clearly the immediate and long¬ range goals of a particular unit of the Body and to devise and execute effective plans for the accomplishment of those goals”.
The gift of helps is the special ability that God gives to certain members of the Body of Christ to invest the talents they have in the life and ministry of other members of the Body, thus enabling those people to increase the ef¬fectiveness of their own spiritual gifts.
Romans 12:7 or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching;
God gives certain members of the Body of Christ the special ability to identify the unmet needs involved in a task related to God’s work, and to make use of available resources to meet those needs and help accomplish the desired goals. This is the gift of service/ministry.
Luke 10:33-34 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion. So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
People who have the gift of mercy feel genuine empathy and compassion for individuals, both Christian and non ¬Christian, who suffer distressing physical, mental or emotional problems.
People who give without being coerced because they give out of love for the Lord and the people, have the gift of giving. Many of them will meet the need without hesitation.
The church growth will be stunted if you do not contribute with the gifts that God has given you.
Ephesians 4:16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

用我们的属灵恩赐帮助教会成长
上帝会赐予我们恩典，使我们能够以祂所赐给我们的属灵恩赐来行事。这恩典就是那种欣然起行、无怨从容地为祂做事的能力。
1彼得4：9 你们要互相款待、不发怨言。
款待的恩赐使基督肢体中的某些成员能够开放家园，热情款待那些需要食宿的人们。拥有这些恩赐的人不仅具备提供热情款待的技能，而且他们也喜欢这样做。
1哥林多前书12:28 神在教会所设立的、第一是使徒，第二是先知，第三是教师，其次是行异能的，再次是得恩赐医病的，帮助人的，治理事的，说方言的。
“行政管理的恩赐是一种特殊的能力，可以清楚地理解基督肢体中某一特定单位的短期和长期目标，并制定和执行有效的计划以实现这些目标。”
帮助的恩赐是神赋予基督肢体中某些成员的特殊能力，可以将他们拥有的天赋投入到基督肢体中其他成员的生活和事工中，从而使这些人能够提高他们属灵恩赐的果效。
罗马书12：7 或作执事、就当专一执事．或作教导的、就当专一教导；
上帝赋予基督肢体某些成员特殊的能力，能发现与上帝之工相关的任务中未被满足的需求，并利用可用的资源满足这些需求以达到预期目标。这就是服事/事工的恩赐。
路加福音10：33-34惟有一个撒玛利亚人、行路来到那里．看见他就动了慈心、上前用油和酒倒在他的伤处、包裹好了、扶他骑上自己的牲口、带到店里去照应他。
有怜悯恩赐的人对于身体有疾患，心理或情感方面有困扰的人，无论他们是基督徒还是非基督徒，都怀有诚挚的同情与怜悯。
有施惠之恩赐的人是指那些不是出于勉强，而是出于对上帝和和世人的爱而施与的人。他们中的许多人会毫不犹豫地满足需求。
如果你不把上帝所赐给你的恩赐摆上，教会的成长就会受阻。
以弗所书4:16，全身都靠他联络得合式、百节各按各职、照着各体的功用、彼此相助、便叫身体渐渐增长、在爱中建立自己。
