The Lord's Anointed

1 Samuel 16:13

It is not everyone who has the anointing.
Though the anointing is available for everyone to have, not everyone receives the anointing.
Salvation is the gateway to the anointing.

The anointing is a gift and spiritual investment God puts in a life.
1 Timothy 4:14

Your looks or good dress sense cannot fetch you the anointing.
Your education does not entitle you to the anointing.
Scheming is will not get you the anointing.
Church attendance does not necessarily guarantee you the anointing.
Common sense or human wisdom will not fetch you the anointing.
Human opinion or belief is not what gets you the anointing.

Your heart has a lot to do with qualifying you for the anointing.
1 Samuel 16:7

A good heart is one of life's great treasures.
A good heart puts you in a position to receive gifts from the Lord.
David's godly and good heart was part of what qualified him for the anointing.

The Lord's anointed may not necessarily be a perfect person.
Most times, people chosen for the anointing are not.
They have their flaws, makes their mistakes and are human like everyone else. But God looks deep into their heart and qualifies them for the anointing for reasons many people cannot see.

The Lord's anointed is simply the person who has the Lord's anointing.
The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit that makes you function in an office or assignment.
The anointing makes you God's man or woman for the job.
The anointing is what shows you have God's approval to do what you're doing.
The anointing makes you God's exclusive property.
Psalm 105:15

It is a privilege to be anointed.
It is a great honor to have the Holy Spirit work with you.
Our relationship with the Holy Spirit should be developed, it should grow.
As our relationship with God's Spirit grows our confidence in the anointing upon our lives increases.
1 John 2:20

The anointing makes us effective in life and ministry. 
The anointing makes us face life with the needed boldness and confidence.

 Some benefits of the anointing:
1. Power - Acts 10:38
 with the anointing (the Holy Spirit) comes power.

2. Dominion over evil - Acts 19:11,12


3. Dreams and visions from God - Joel 2:28


4. Effectiveness for God - Luke 4:18

 5. Restoration of health - Romans 8:11

 6. Enemies are defeated - Isaiah 54:15-17


7. Divine direction - Romans 8:14

8. Teaches you all things - 1 John 2:27


9. Knowledge and truth is supplied - John 16:13
The anointing upon your life will lead you into all truth and what is true for your life.


10. Sealed unto redemption - Ephesians 4:30
the anointing upon you is the seal upon your life that you are a son or daughter of God.
This seal upon your life is the reason you will make heaven.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination.
