       The nine gifts of the Holy Spirit can be classified into three categories namely, the gift of revelation, power and utterance.

o   The word of God

o   Word of wisdom

o   Discerning of spirits

v The gift of power: Gifts under this category are gifts that involve some words of demonstration of power. These are the

o   The gift of faith

o   The working of miracle

o   The gifts of healing

v The gifts of utterances: These gifts are gifts that are spoken out. They operate in the area of something being said or spoken. They are:

o   The gift of interpretations of tongues

THE FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. (GAL. 5:22-23)

That passage of the scripture, the bible talks about the fruit of the Holy Spirit as a single fruit. What this mean therefore, is that the Holy Spirit is like a fruit of orange. Orange is a fruit that is made up of multiple segments. So is the fruit of the Holy Spirit. If you have the fruit, you’ll see the manifestation of all the nine segments in your life.

THE BAPTISIM OF THE HOLY GHOST

   The baptism in the Holy Spirit is the experience that follows the new birth of our spirit. This experience which followed by speaking in tongues exposes the believer to the supernatural powers that is available to him or her to use to live a glorious life while here on earth.
