Gift of Knowledge

The gift of knowledge is defined as a deep sensitivity to the gleaning of wisdom from life lessons and the ability to articulate this knowledge to the growth and well-being of a person, family, or a body of believers at the right time (1 Cor. 12:8).

People with this gift can see a complicated situation and understand with Holy Spirit illumination what biblical truth applies to the situation to give clarity.

They also need to be aware of the tendency to use this gift to draw attention to themselves and believe they always have the answers and therefore lose sight of the over-arching purpose of all spiritual gifts which is to build people up in the faith.
