LIFE CURRENCIES

CURRENCY NUMBER 6

ANOINTING (PART 2)0

Acts 10:38, Isaiah 61:1-3

In my last post I shared with us on the anointing within and how it is a currency. 


The anointing within is the Holy Spirit living inside a child of God teaching him all things, 1John 2:20&27. 


Today, I will be sharing with us on the anointing upon. This is the anointing that God puts upon men and women for service in the kingdom. 


This is the anointing that Jesus was referring to when He said, "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor, He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. To preach the acceptable year of the Lord", Luke  4:18&19.


The anointing is an enduement of power(Acts 1:8) from God to destroy all the works of Satan, 1John 3:8. 


It is placed upon men and women, young and old not to enrich their pocket but to set people free from the bondage of darkness, Acts 10:38. 


However, it is such that it brings with it the riches of the glory of God. 


The anointing gives the carrier influence, fame, connections, riches, honour and persecutions. 


When God sets people free they want to express their gratitude depending on how much what God has done for them is worth in their eyes, Psalm118:23.


The anointing upon comes with a price. A price of becoming a living a sacrifice, prayer, study of the Word, death to self, death to the world, Romans 12:1-2, Galatians 2:20, 5:24


Jesus, who is the author and finisher of our faith has a progression of how the anointing developed in His life. 


He spent many years building the anointing within and afterwards the anointing upon came on Him, Mark 1:35 & Luke 3:22


The anointing within is more important than the anointing upon. 


The anointing upon a man increases as his scope of service increases from Jerusalem to Judea to Samaria and the uttermost end of the world, Acts 1:8. 


The anointing is not given for the purpose of making money but to set people free. 


However there are those anointed to make wealth for the purpose of financing the gospel, Luke 8:3


That anointing for wealth gives them divine ideas and teaches them how to profit with it, Isaiah 48:17. 


The weight of the anointing upon is carried by the anointing within. Don't carry big anointing on a weak spirit. 


Because of the flamboyance of the anointing upon, a lot of people are seeking it and they are neglecting the place of building up the anointing within which is steady and gradual. 


The true measure of a man is not the anointing upon but the anointing within. 


The anointing once it comes makes you do things that are not within your normal human capacity but when it lifts, your true weight is the anointing within. Ask Samson, Judges 16:3, 20-22.


You may carry a healing anointing but not know how to receive healing for yourself by faith. The just shall live by faith, Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, Hebrews 10:38.


How God build His people is to live by faith not on anointing and faith comes by hearing the Word of God, Romans 10:17. 


Apostle Paul did not commend the Ephesian believers to the anointing, he commended them to the Word of God, Acts 20:32. 


Never neglect the place of a steady walk with God by faith. Walk with God by faith and serve with the anointing.


PRAYER: LORD, help me to grasp the real reason why you put anointing upon people, so that I will not misuse your anointing upon my life in Jesus name.

SALVATION PRAYER


Anything short of you being born again and living a life of holiness and purity hurt Jesus so much. But you can make things right here and now by saying this simple prayer and mean it genuinely from your heart:


 Lord Jesus I come to you today. I acknowledge that I am a sinner and I cannot help myself. I repent of all my sins and I forsake them. Jesus, I invite you into my life, be my Lord, be my Saviour. 


Wash me by your precious blood, forgive my sins and write my name in the book of life. From this day, I promise to follow you all the rest of my life. Help me Lord, in Jesus name, Amen. Congratulations you are now born again!


PEACE

LESSONS FROM THE SHIPWRECK  Acts 27&28 Sometimes God brings about deliverance painfully slow. He seems to take all His time. It is because what God wants you to get out of that situation is far more than just being delivered.  Sometimes what you come out with is not just the testimony of deliverance or promotion, an anointing comes upon you on the other side of it.  It is not just an affliction, it is also your test. So instead of God bringing you out at once, He makes you walk through the length and breath of the situation and then brings you out on the other side. If you can get and sustain God's perspective on any situation the problem is 50% solved.  You can't enter the house of a strong man and spoil his goods without first binding the strong man, Mark 3;27 You are a strong man and satan cannot spoil your goods without first binding you and his first weapon for binding people is fear.  He uses fear to paralyze people. It is his chiefest weapon, Hebrews 2:15 If God can

THEY THAT BE PLANTED Psalm 92:13&14 Sometimes in life we hurry and move from place to place only to find out we have never really left one spot.  But atimes we remain in one physical location for long, only to find out that we have reached the world even from that one spot.  The Bible talks about being planted in one spot and from that spot the shadow of your branches will spread and cover the hills and mountains and you will spread your boughs and root to the seas and rivers, Psalm 80:8-11. The blessings of God are not place dependent they are His will dependent.  People keep making that mistake over and over again and till tomorrow they will keep making it but you can exempt yourself from that statistics. You cam be in one spot and kings of the earth will come and meet you in that one spot and bring you out, that is the description of a man God is working it.  People will seek out the grace from wherever it is hiding whether in the wilderness, desert or bush.  They remain at thei

GAINING MASTERY OVER CHANGES IN TIMES AND SEASONS Genesis 8:22 Spiritual seasons comes to an end as well as Natural seasons. One thing you must learn early in your walk with God is flexibility. Flexibility and alignment goes hand in hand. This is why...... God is dynamic (John 3:8), life is dynamic and we should also be dynamic.  Seasons change but a Christian that will live above the changing times and seasons is the one that has the flexibility to be evolving above the demands of the times and seasons.  God doesn't change but He moves and his strategies and methods change from time to time to match the changes in times and seasons.  That you are moving doesn't mean you are changing. Change and movement are two different things entirely.  In the minds of many it means the same thing especially where God is concerned.  Sometimes the changes in times and seasons are caused by demonic orchestrations and marshalled as attack against our spiritual life, Exodus 5:7 The victory lies
