POWER FOR SERVICE

Micah 3:8 CEB "But me! I am filled with power, with the spirit of the Lord, with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his wrongdoing and to Israel his sin!"

You cannot serve God effectively without the power of the Spirit. When God sends a man on an errand, any errand at all, the first thing He does is to enable the man to fulfil that assignment. Even if it is to carry chairs from point A to B, there's grace for it. The seven that were chosen to serve tables in Acts 5 were filled with the Spirit.

I'm impressed by how much knowledge you have; thank God for your vast experience, I'm happy that you worked so hard to earn your degrees and have become an expert in that field; but sir, until you have been endued with power from on high, you aren't at all fit for service!

And it is not a one time experience! We need to be constantly filled with the Spirit. It's just like a rechargeable battery that has to be recharged from time to time: every day, as we fellowship with Him in prayer and the study of the word, we receive fresh grace and new strength to do all that we have been commissioned to do.
