For Your Profit

Apostle Grace Lubega

1 Corinthians 12:7(KJV); But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

The anointing upon your life firstly must benefit you before it benefits anyone else. You are the primary beneficiary of every grace, gift and anointing that God has bestowed upon you.

While I was growing up, it was often said that the anointing that you receive is for the world and not necessarily for you. Thus, it was okay for one to heal the sick but struggle with disease. It was justifiable for one to cast out demons yet be tormented by them.

That is not godly and neither is it the teaching of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. The primary reason for this is because the graces upon our lives are not only so they can be demonstrated but they are also for inspiration.

If what you share with the world cannot work for you, how can you inspire?

In Job 32:8, the Bible says, ‘But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.’

Inspiration is in the very nature of God because it provokes desire in the spirits of men for divine things. It is inspiration that gives understanding.

Reject any testimony of a grace that works through you and not for you. Claim its benefits for you too.

God’s name be praised!

GOLDEN NUGGET:

Inspiration is in the very nature of God because it provokes desire in the spirits of men for divine things. It is inspiration that gives understanding.

PRAYER: My God, I thank you for what you have placed in me and for the graces operating in my life. They bear fruit in me which is evident to all. I demonstrate through my life the very message that I teach. My life is a pattern and inspires many for your glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
