B V O V : 1 3 as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace (Philippians 1:3-7). Notice in that last phrase he said, ye are partakers of my grace. Not God's grace. My grace! In other words, Paul was saying, "As my partners, you share in the grace God has given me to carry out my ministry." If you'd like to see how significant that really is, just read through some of Paul's letters and see the statements he makes about grace. Statements such as, "By the grace of God I am what I am...I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me" (1 Corinthians 15:10). Paul was literally telling the Philippians that as his partners, the same anointings that were on him as an apostle had become available to them! I don't know about you, but I desire all the anointing I can get. That's why I partner with the ministries of Oral Roberts, Kenneth Hagin, Jerry Savelle, Jesse Duplantis and many others—to be a partaker of their grace! "But I don't need those kinds of anointings!" you may say. "I'm not a preacher. I'm just a mechanic... or a housewife...or a salesman." That may be your profession, but aren't you called to witness to people, pray for them and minister to them as you go about your daily affairs? Of course you are! And the more of the Anointing of God you have available to you, the better you'll be able to do it. What's more, when you partner up with a ministry, whatever anointing is on you—the mechanic anointing, the real estate anointing, etc.—becomes available to that ministry. When you understand that, you can see that as we follow the leadership of the Holy Spirit and come together in partnership as He directs, we'll all be fully supplied. None of us will lack anything. Spiritually, we'll have the full scope of the Anointing of God. And materially, we'll enjoy the prophet's reward—by joining in faith together, we receive exceeding, abundantly above what we can ask or think! I'm convinced it was that reward Paul had in mind when, in closing his partner letter to the Philippians, he told them, "My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19)! No matter how you look at it, that deal is just too good to pass up. So don't! Make up your mind right now to seek God and find out with whom He'd have you become a partner. Then be like that Shunammite woman and start looking for ways to BLESS your partner. You'll have so much fun at it; you'll be tempted to forget all about the reward. But God won't. If you stay connected in faith, He'll see to it that you're BLESSED with more of everything than you ever dreamed possible. He'll see to it that you receive the prophet's reward. Millions of people made Jesus The LORD of their lives through the outreaches of Kenneth Copeland Ministries and, as a Partner, God is giving you credit for every one of them.
