Your inheritance and gifts are for now.

When we die we will experience perfect eternal life in Heaven. Fortunately we are not helpless here on earth. Jesus died and left us an inheritance; He gave us Holy Spirit and a variety of gifts.

Ephesians 4:8 TPT
This is why he says: “He ascends into the heavenly heights taking his many captured ones with him, and gifts were given to men.”

 I once saw a treasure chest full of pearls and jewellery with precious stones. I believe the Lord showed me the abundance of spiritual gifts that He has for us. Paul encourages us to seek these “higher gifts”.

1 Corinthians 12:31 TPT
But you should all constantly boil over with passion in seeking the higher gifts. And now I will show you a superior way to live that is beyond comparison!

1 Corinthians 14:1 TPT
It is good that you are enthusiastic and passionate about spiritual gifts, especially prophecy.

You won’t leave your earthly inheritance to decay. You will use and enjoy it.  We should use our spiritual gifts to build God’s Kingdom. Everybody received different gifts from the same Spirit. Every part of the body is important and we should operate together.

1 Corinthians 12:4-7,11,13-14,19-20,28-30 TPT
It is the same Holy Spirit who continues to distribute many different varieties of gifts. [5] The Lord YAHWEH is one, and he is the one who apportions to believers different varieties of ministries. [6] The same God distributes different kinds of miracles that accomplish different results through each believer’s gift and ministry as he energizes and activates them. [7] Each believer is given continuous revelation by the Holy Spirit to benefit not just himself but all. [11] Remember, it is the same Holy Spirit who distributes, activates, and operates these different gifts as he chooses for each believer.
[12] For by one Spirit we all were immersed and mingled into one single body. And no matter our status—whether we are Jews or non-Jews, oppressed or free—we are all privileged to drink deeply of the same Holy Spirit. [14] In fact, the human body is not one single part but rather many parts mingled into one. [19] A diversity is required, for if the body consisted of one single part, there wouldn’t be a body at all! [20] So now we see that there are many differing parts and functions, but one body.
[28] God has placed in the church the following: First apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then those with gifts of miracles, gifts of divine healing, gifts of revelation knowledge, gifts of leadership, and gifts of different kinds of tongues. [29] Not everyone is an apostle or a prophet or a teacher. Not everyone performs miracles [30] or has gifts of healing or speaks in tongues or interprets tongues.

Romans 12:3-11 TPT
God has given me grace to speak a warning about pride. I would ask each of you to be emptied of self-promotion and not create a false image of your importance. Instead, honestly assess your worth by using your God-given faith as the standard of measurement, and then you will see your true value with an appropriate self-esteem. [4] In the human body there are many parts and organs, each with a unique function. [5] And so it is in the body of Christ. For though we are many, we’ve all been mingled into one body in Christ. This means that we are all vitally joined to one another, with each contributing to the others. [6] God’s marvelous grace imparts to each one of us varying gifts. So if God has given you the grace-gift of prophecy, activate your gift by using the proportion of faith you have to prophesy. [7] If your grace-gift is serving, then thrive in serving others well. If you have the grace-gift of teaching, then be actively teaching and training others. [8] If you have the grace-gift of encouragement, then use it often to encourage others. If you have the grace-gift of giving to meet the needs of others, then may you prosper in your generosity without any fanfare. If you have the gift of leadership, be passionate about your leadership. And if you have the gift of showing compassion, then flourish in your cheerful display of compassion. [9] Let the inner movement of your heart always be to love one another, and never play the role of an actor wearing a mask. Despise evil and embrace everything that is good and virtuous. [10] Be devoted to tenderly loving your fellow believers as members of one family. Try to outdo yourselves in respect and honor of one another. [11] Be enthusiastic to serve the Lord, keeping your passion toward him boiling hot! Radiate with the glow of the Holy Spirit and let him fill you with excitement as you serve him.
