1 Timothy 4:14 (NET) Do not neglect the spiritual gift you have, given to you and confirmed by prophetic words when the elders laid hands on you.
A young man was praying for several days to receive the ability to see visions because he had seen firsthand the benefits of that spiritual gift. While he was praying one day, the spirit of the Lord led him to go and visit his friend who is a minister of the gospel. When he got to his friend’s house, he saw that his friend had a visitor who was an apostle. This apostle saw him and instantly discerned that he needed the impartation of a spiritual gift. The apostle ministered to him and there and then he received the spiritual gift he had been praying to receive for several weeks. God answered his prayer by leading him to where he would be imparted.
I remember the first time I started walking consistently in the prophetic and word of knowledge. I was attending an international conference where certain apostles of God and prophets were ministering. It was during the course of that conference that I noticed that I started walking in the spiritual gift of “word of knowledge”.
One of the easiest ways believers receive spiritual gifts is through impartation. That’s why Apostle Paul told the Romans this:
Romans 1:11 (NET) For I long to see you, so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you.
It is also clear from today’s Bible verse that Timothy received his spiritual gift when the elders of the church laid their hands on him and prophesied.
Just like water flows downstream, it is important for believers to be submitted to one another in order for such important importations to get to them. You cannot receive impartation from a servant of God you do not honor, no matter how anointed he is.
Go into today remembering that it is hard for a proud person to receive anything from the Lord.
Prayer: Ask the Lord to help you humble yourself and receive all the necessary impartation He had ordained for you.
