We are unprofitable servants
"So should it be with you. When you have done all you have been commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were obliged to do.’” (Luke 17: 10)
God chooses; God calls and God anoints. God Himself empowers us for the job. When all is from God, what can we claim? What can we glorify in?
Now that you know, all that you need to activate the anointing is to ask at the moment of need. Ask in faith because you know that the grace you need is already available waiting to be activated. After having asked, start acting as if you have received what you need. Do not look back.
"For the grace of God has appeared, saving all and training us to reject godless ways and worldly desires and to live temperately, justly, and devoutly in this age, as we await the blessed hope, the appearance of the glory of the great God and of our savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to deliver us from all lawlessness and to cleanse for himself a people as his own, eager to do what is good." (Titus 2: 11 - 14)
When grace is fully activated through prayer, faith and appropriation, it transforms life.
"Trust in the LORD and do good
that you may dwell in the land and live secure.
Find your delight in the LORD
who will give you your heart’s desire."
"The valiant one whose steps are guided by the LORD,
who will delight in his way,
May stumble, but he will never fall,
for the LORD holds his hand." (Psalm 37: 3-4, 23-24)
Let your full trust be in the Lord and then do all the good you can. Delight yourself in the Lord, He will fulfill the desires of your heart. You may stumble but will never be allowed to fall and remain on the ground.
"In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all [the] flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. With all prayer and supplication, pray at every opportunity in the Spirit. To that end, be watchful with all perseverance and supplication for all the holy ones" (Ephesians 6: 16 -18)
