Memorise:
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need
not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all
things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall
abide in him. 1 John 2:27
Read: Exodus 40:9-15
9 And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all
that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall
be holy.
10 And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his
vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.
11 And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.
12 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation, and wash them with water.
13 And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and
sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.
14 And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:
15 And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they
may minister unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely
be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
Message
The anointing should occupy
a prominent place in the life of every child of God. When God grants you the
anointing, several benefits are attached to it. He gives His anointing in order
to add value, not just to your life, but also to the lives of everyone you come
in contact with. The benefits of the new anointing are so many that they cannot
be for those who are lazy. You must have worked, prayed and studied hard before
you can receive such anointing. The new anointing is an uncommon anointing; it
is not what you find on the surface; you must dig for it.
When Elisha was desperate for the new anointing, the other sons of the
prophets were busy laughing him to scorn (2 Kings 2:3-5). They tried to
discourage him from reaching his goal by deriding him, but he never got
discouraged. He continued to serve and follow his master devotedly. Those who
had earlier discouraged him were the first set of people to congratulate him
later on (2 Kings 2:15). Hard work and persistence pays. When you are a
hardworking person, you will get to a point where those who are lazy will have
only one choice, which is bowing before you. Nobody may know of your secret
prayers now, but the moment your prayers are answered, you will begin to tell
the secrets of your success. If you really want to experience the new
anointing, don’t ever allow anybody to discourage you. Keep seeking God’s face
and serving Him diligently. God is always ready to baptize you with the fire
required to make the world focus on you.
The presence of the new anointing guarantees that there will continue to be
proof of answered prayers in your life. When the new anointing becomes visible,
there will be a sudden demonstration of great happenings in your life. The new
anointing in the life of a child of God shows that the enemy has been made to
face shame and total extermination. In 1 Kings 18:37-40, there was an
encounter between Elijah and the prophets of Baal. The anointing was the sole instrument
that God used in putting the enemies to shame in this encounter. The fire of
God brought shame completely to the prophets of Baal. To a user of this
devotional, I decree: by the new anointing that God will give to you, you will
become an instrument of fiery judgment against the enemies of God, and all your
enemies will bow in Jesus’ Name.
Prayer Point:
Father, let all my enemies submit themselves and bow to You in the Name of
Jesus.
