The song I Surrender All was written by Judson W. Van DeVenter, 1896 when he was struggling with the direction his life should take. He wondered whether to study the Arts or to go into full-time evangelism. It was at this crucial point in his life that he surrendered his life to God to serve as an evangelist. The Holy Spirit inspired him to write this song, which has become an anthem for many evangelists when they call for those souls who have surrendered their lives to Christ all over the world.
There are some people who emerge as spiritual leaders with special gifts that God uses as instruments to speak directly to us of the word of God. These spiritual gifts take a lot of personal effort to build and develop. It is through a continuous process of refinement in our spiritual lives and our commitment to Christ that these gifts are developed.
• Teaching
• Leading
• Healing
• Prophesying
• Speaking in tongues
Prayer for Illumination - Heavenly Father, may your Word light the lamp in our hearts, that we may see clearly to walk through our path.Give us oil for our lamps, fill us with your love and peace, shower us with your grace, enlighten us with your truth. May our faith in you grow stronger with the passing of each day. May our lamps continue to burn and bring glory to Jesus's name. Amen

Spiritual gifts are one of the gifts about which Jesus talked about in Mathew 25:14--30 .It is as much evaluated as material gifts God gives. We have to answer as much about that as any other gifts/talents
