I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong. (Romans 1:11). Paul prayed for the chance to visit these Christians so that he could encourage them with his gift of faith & be encouraged by theirs. He wanted to impart his spiritual gift to make them strong Christians. Impartation is key in Christianity. God's missionaries can impart spiritual gifts through laying on of hands. As God's missionary, he could help them understand the meaning of the Good News about Jesus Christ. As God's devoted people, they could offer him fellowship & comfort. When Christians gather, everyone should give & receive. Everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, or a revelation, or a tongue or an interpretation.
