The Anointing Of Cyrus

Isaiah 45:1

The text passage above informs us that Cyrus the great was an anointed man.
You need the anointing too!

Just like you, Cyrus was chosen by God before He was born.
Just like you, God already had a prophetic plan for Cyrus's life before his life started on earth.
His life was prophesied by a prophet of God before He was born.
Just like you, Cyrus had the grace of God upon his life.
Isaiah 45:5

Cyrus was anointed just like you are, if you've accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior.
Just like many of us were until God saved us, Cyrus didn't know the Lord. He was set on his own way like a ravenous bird but God had a purpose for him.
Isaiah 45:4,5
1 Corinthians 1:26

Let's consider the grace & anointing upon Cyrus:
1. He had the grace and anointing to build.
Cyrus was a master builder.
Ezra 1:1-4
You will need the grace and anointing to build too.
We are all builders.
Life is likened to erecting a building.
We are all building something - careers, spiritual life, marriages, children, businesses, ministries, our health, social status e.t.c

2. He had the grace and anointing for open doors.
Cyrus is the man God opened the doubles doors or two leaved gates unto.
This opened a whole new world unto Cyrus.
This grace and anointing will do the same for you.

3. He had the grace and anointing to subdue.
This is why Cyrus overcame most kings in his time and extended his territory greatly
Isaiah 45:1
To subdue your enemies and challenges, you need this anointing.

4. He had the anointing and grace for dominion.
This anointing confers dominion on people.
The dominion of King Cyrus was great.
We see the extent of his kingdom which his grandson Ahasherus (King Xerxes) was now ruling in Esther 1:1

5. He had the anointing and grace to overcome limitation.
Isaiah 45:2
Cyrus's empire was not limited, his achievements were outstanding and he overcame all his odds and difficulties.
The anointing sets free.
Isaiah 10:27
God's presence is an anointed presence and in God's presence there is liberty/freedom.
2 Corinthians 3:17

The Cyrus anointing will open the double doors of opportunity and breakthrough unto you.
Take advantage of it.
This anointing is one of the many mantles available to you in God's kingdom.

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...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...

Malachi 4:2 Your soul is a vital part of your life. Your soul is part of who you are. Your soul needs to function well for things to go well with you.
