You are a Profit of God!

Every Labor Day Holiday, one of my favorite things to do is to watch some of the U.S. Open Tennis Tournament held in Queens, New York. And if you are familiar with the scoring procedures in the sport of tennis, you have to win by two points in order to win a game. If both players reach the score of 40, then the score keeper no longer uses numbers to inform the spectators as to who is winning the game. The score keeper uses the word “advantage” and attaches that word to the person who is winning the game.

Chapter 6 of the book Experiencing God is a discussion on how God is at Work around You. It focuses on the pattern regarding how God uses His chosen vessels:

• God gave an assignment to a person.
• The Holy Spirit was given to that person to equip him or her for the assignment.
• The proof of the Spirit’s presence was that the person was able to complete the assignment effectively through the supernatural enabling of the Holy Spirit.

And the final result? The result God is looking for is that the entire Body of Christ, or at the very least, the local church, would benefit and profit from the Holy Spirit’s manifesting Himself through that person’s life.

The Greek definition of the word profit in this Scripture means to the “advantage of; benefit of; making one the favorite”. God gave us His Holy Spirit and the gifts which the Spirit uses through us, so that the Church universal as well as your local church could get an advantage and be favored to win every battle. Thus, wherever you are (job, school, home, shopping, dorm, apartment, vacation, etc.), God’s Church and Kingdom should be profiting from the Holy Spirit’s presence in your life in that place God has assigned to use you. Yes, you are God’s profit today. You are His advantage point right where you’re located. Just believe it!
