In Paul's list of spiritual gifts, he includes 'administrations' among the Spirit's endowments (1 Corinthians 12:28). The term literally means 'acts of steering' or 'piloting'—the skill of guiding a ship to its destination. Metaphorically extended, it describes the ability to give direction and governance to a community. Just as a pilot navigates dangerous waters, those with this gift guide the church through challenges. Administrative leadership, far from being merely organizational, is a supernatural charism for steering God's people.
