Bible
As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
‭‭I Peter‬ ‭4:10-11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭3‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Neglect not the gift [charisma] that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
1 Timothy 4:14, KJV
Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
‭‭II Timothy‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
