The Holy Spirit has many roles in the church and in Christian lives today.
These roles are to:
- Teach Christians on a daily basis messages of Jesus
- Live in the hearts of believers of Christ
- Be an advocate, a counselor, helper and a comforter to those who love Jesus Christ and obey God’s commandments.

- Enable the disciples to expose the secret lives and heart of sinful people.
- Guide Christians; help believers to cast away evils spirits, to heal, to preach the word of God, to encourage, and to condemn evil in the society.b. Paul teaching about the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Read 1 Corinthians chapters 12, 13, and 14.
Spiritual gifts are extra-ordinary favors, talents, abilities, and dispositions given to Christians by God for the benefit of all believers.
The gifts are used for the service of others and not for self-glorification and gratification.
The message of Peter on the day of the Pentecost
Peter told the disciple that what was happening was the fulfillment of Jesus’ prophecy.
– He said that Jesus of Nazareth was the Son of God.
– He said that the suffering and death of Jesus was according to God’s plans.
Death was the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecy.
Gifts of the Holy Spirit

– having deep understanding of issues- ‘seeing far’, being perceptive
2. Gift of knowledge:

5. The gift of performing miracles:

6. The gift of preaching
7. The gift of prophecy:
– the ability to interpret God’s word. The ability to foresee what will happen in the future as revealed by God.
8. The gift of distinguishing spirits or discernment:
– the ability to know whether a spiritual gift is from God, the Holy Spirit or from the evil spirit.
9. The gift of speaking in tongues.
The ability to utter, speak in a tongue, language unknown to the believer.
Tongues are used when addressing God for self-edifications. It is personal growth.
10. The gift of interpretation of tongues:
– the ability to understand and interpret the messages of those speaking in tongues.
11. The gift of love. (Read 1 Corinthians 13)
Paul stressed that all the gifts of the Holy Spirit are to be demonstrated with love.
He stressed that love, a fruit of the Holy Spirit is supreme over other spiritual gifts possessed by Christians.
It’s the greatest of all. Speaking in tongues, preaching, and martyrdom without love is useless.
Components of Love Love is patient, kind, not jealous or boastful, not arrogant or rude, is not ill mannered or selfish, and does not insist on its own way.
It is not disrespectful. It is not irritable or resentful. It does not rejoice at wrong but rejoices in truth. It bears all things.
Love believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. Love is eternal. Love never fails.
The other gifts are temporary but love, faith and hope are eternal.
c. Manifestation of the Holy Spirit in the church and Christians today
Gifts of the Holy Spirit have been manifested in churches today.
We see this manifestation through people possessing the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
For example, leaders in church have displayed the gift of wisdom.
Preachers, and Christian’s ministers have been casting out demons and performing healing.
There are reported cases of interpretation of tongues and gift of prophecy in churches today.
When Christians display the gifts of the Holy Spirit such as speaking in tongues the Holy Spirit is manifested.
Other manifestations of the Holy Spirit are:
- Through healing, prophecy, gifts of discernment, boldness in preaching, and casting out demons among others.
- Christians helping the poor by giving generosity and in kindness.
- Through singing, dancing, shouting (fruit of joy)
- Through unity of believes and fellowships.
- Through praying.
- Christian’s persecutions/temptations.

2023 KCSE COUNTY MOCKS Mock exams and pre-mock exams are practice tests that are taken before the actual exams.
They are designed to help students get a sense of what to expect in the real exam and to identify areas where they need to improve.
The purpose of taking mock exams is to help students build confidence, develop test-taking strategies, and identify their strengths and weaknesses.
Pre-mock exams are usually taken a few weeks or months before the actual exam, while mock exams are usually taken closer to the exam date.
