At the end of 1 Corinthians 12, Paul tells us to covet the best gifts. In other words, we should desire spiritual gifts so that we can serve God and His people more effectively.
However, the love of God must always come first. Putting spiritual gifts before God is a terrible mistake. The first and foremost priority is to love God. Those who truly love God will naturally desire spiritual gifts because these gifts are given for the enrichment and strengthening of His church.
The Gift of the Word of Wisdom
In 1 Corinthians 12:8–10, Paul identifies three gifts that are often described as the revelation gifts: the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, and the discerning of spirits.
The word of wisdom is the first of these three gifts mentioned. It provides divine insight and wisdom for a particular situation or need. These gifts are not given for personal glory; they are given to help build up, strengthen, and serve the body of Christ.
