In this lesson, we learn there is a certain degree of sacrifices we need to make in order to be blessed with the anointing of God. Everybody wants to feel appreciated. We want to be recognized and praised. We might even feel that we are so far down the line that no one notices what we do. But God notices. He notices your sacrifice, and faithfulness. God notices your willingness to do the jobs no one else wants to do. Like Elisha, these are the qualities that attracted God's attention.  The Anointing doesn’t just happen, a mature believer understands that we are working for the Lord and the Lord will reward us for our sacrifice.
