The anointing

Image
Psalms 92:10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like [the horn of] an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. The anointing is the power of God working in your life. Without it, you cannot do much for God or in the ministry.  It's the anointing that makes the difference between believers and nonbelievers. And it is the manifest anointing that still makes the difference between ministers. The anointing is a very precious thing that you should not overlook. It will change your ministry.  People will respond to you, follow you, believe in you without much reason but the anointing at work. If Christians valued the anointing more than anything else, this world would be better than it is. Many people would be healed, delivered, set free and blind eyes and ears open.  There is a minister of God called TL Osborn who went to India but people never responded to his ministry until he identified a man of God who was flowing in the gifts of healing and submitted to him. When he returne...

You need a push forward

2 Chronicles 20:20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. Establishment is different from prospering. Establishment is the nurturing one gets like the one the parents give a child. And that is what God does to us as we grow spiritually. Prospering on the other hand is the flourishing or pushing ahead one gets when they meet prophets or anointed people. Many Christians have the call of God from childhood, have known the scriptures through memorisation, have got to know about prayer, meditation, and every scriptural discipline you can ever think of, but they lack one thing, a push in a certain direction to be of great benefit to others in the ministry. They have seen the Lord through the scriptures, but they now need a living example before their...

Do not focus on the dirt, but the anointing

Genesis 32:25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. While following to catch anointing on men of God,  you will get to discover their natural side which sometimes is not pleasant.  It can either offend you or inspire you to say that 'if God can use such a man, He can definitely use me also.' Know for certain that they are first of all men and then they are men of God. Men have weaknesses and its hard to think that your man of God has any. Yes they do but God uses them by the grace.  If you focus on the weakness, you will miss the precious anointing in them.  The media is good at magnifying the issues surrounding the men of God but don't do the same, focus on the anointing and let God deal with their issues.  Some things are too high for you to deal with them, leave them to God. Jacob wrestled with God to the point that his bone was pulled o...

Identify anointed people

2 Kings 2:8 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped [it] together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground. Anointed people who are really doing big things for God are not many. They are rare just like precious stones are rare to find. If you are hungry to serve God in a great way, you need to be on the lookout for other people that are serving God powerfully and begin to follow them.  Elijah separated the waters of Jordan by the anointing,  he stopped rain from falling by the anointing etc. Did he do all these by his power? No but by the anointing.  We are all in this world and are subject to like passions. The temptations that attack us are similar, the hardships notwithstanding are also present to all yet there are men who by grace rise above those limitations and do mighty things as though their world is different from the rest. Such men have something you need to tap into to propel your ministry forward...

Attach value to spiritual things

 Mark 4:24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. There's a law of degeneration at work in the world where natural things tend to lose value with time. What do I mean, as people grow older for example,  so does their natural strength reduces, their eye sight becomes dim and their ability to stay up for long reduces. Somehow even their power to remember the past reduces.  The assests we get to possess depreciate from the day you buy them. A car you have just bought,  once it gets out of the bond, if you happen to change your mind a few moments later and try to resell it to the very person that sold it to you, you will be shocked at the price they offer you.  On the other hand, once someone places a high value on spiritual things, they gain value overtime. For example once someone learns how to pray, they become better at it with time,  once they get to...

The men who bless us

2 Chronicles 20:20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. The Bible says if you want to prosper, we ought to believe in God as well as believing the prophets. This means what it means, believing is very key in our relationship with the people who bless us with the Word of God everyday.  But there's a tendency to think that all of us are on level terms when it comes to serving the Lord which is not true.  We are all sons before God but we are graced differently.  Some people have gone ahead in many things and should be honoured for that.  Once you attack, insult or dishonour them you are dishonouring the one who sent them. The saying which says you can't receive anything which you despise actually comes to reality. They are ve...
