Being a craftsman for the Lord takes maturity, because like any skilled artist, to get better at their craft, they must practice it. As Christians, we must practice the craft God has given us, whether it's teaching, preaching, writing, evangelizing, praying, prophesying, singing and the like all to edify the body of Christ. Furthermore, to stay fully equipped with God's anointing while using our crafts, it takes spending some time dwelling in His presence on a consistent basis. When we consistently spend time with the Lord, His presence becomes our home, and it is then we are able to be by His side. Being by the Lord's side means we will serve him at all costs? through the ups and downs, the tears and pain, good times and bad, and convenient and not so convenient times. This type of servitude causes our relationship with Him to be close-knit, which is exactly the type of relationship the Lord wants to share with each one of us.
