A man of God was asked by a young man to pray for him to receive the same grace he had just ministered powerfully with. However, his prayer surprised the young man, as he prayed that the young man would go through the same demanding processes he had endured. The young man did not realise that grace works through process.
Friend, grace works through process (Galatians 1:15-24). More important than craving grace is preparing to go through the right processes. Men of grace are men of process. Grace manifestation in the public is a testament to a secret process they went through. Truly, the God who sees in secret definitely rewards openly (Matthew 6:6).
Impartation is not an escape from the right process. Impartation without the right process will only lead to failure and frustration (Hosea 7:8). Most times, impartation is either meant to quicken what is already on your inside or empower you to go through the process (2 Timothy 1:6). But it will never substitute for the right process.
When impartation meets with the right process, manifestation is the result. True impartation is a divine compensation for obedience to the right process (Luke 4:1-14). An anointed man can lay hands on you. It does not mean you would partake of his anointing if that laying of hands does not meet the right consecration and preparation in your life.
Stop running after impartation. Rather, go through your divinely revealed process (Luke 1:80). There are those looking for impartation, but, like David, there are those that impartation is looking for. Samuel was the one sent by God to anoint David. God had seen David’s commitment to the right process (1 Samuel 16:1-13).
The greatest investment you can make into your future is to identify your process and go through it on time (Luke 2:42-52, 12:49-50). Stop jumping here and there. Stop envying those who are in their season of manifestation. Rather, let their manifestation inspire and challenge you to pay your own dues for your due season (Galatians 6:9).
