H. Celibacy

H. Celibacy: the ability or anointing from the Spirit to remain unmarried and enjoy it- to not suffer undue sexual temptation or pangs of loneliness. This gift allows a single person to devote himself or herself to ministry in ways that are unsuitable for the married person, ie. Contributing and risking a great deal of time, material resources and personal safety. The Apostle Paul had this gift. I Cor. 7:5-9, 7:32-33; (Matthew 19:10-12).
