7 GOD’S ANOINTING
Isaiah 61:1
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
God is specific with His anointing. In the Bible we see God anointing people when we look at them we wonder if God did the right thing. When you are anointed by God you are set apart for God's service, you give up everything, your mind, body, and soul to God to use you to bring Him glory and that His purposes and plans may fulfill in your life.
When God is anointing his servant He Does not look on the appearance but He looks on the Heart."
Proverbs 14:30 a sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.
According to God's standard of anointing, a healthy heart is a first and most important requirement to receive His anointing. When God's pour out His anointing upon you people are going to hate you, you are going to be persecuted
God anointing is too valuable to simply make it available to anyone God is the one who chooses who walks in his anointing, not the Pastor or the prophet. No one can declare God's anointing is yours except God himself
In 2018-2019, I was on an emotional coaster my emotions were running high. I have a sister living with me and you can say that she test me in every possible way.
When she came to live with me I just recently met her, she has two of her sons with her, and she wasn't working at the time and I never hesitate to take her in. For one year and four months, she was there not working, she would not go and look for a job and each time I get an interview for her, she will not go, her excuse was I don't know the place or I'm not doing that type of work.
Mark, I'm the only one working and there are three other people to feed. When I purchase grocery time to last for three weeks it doesn't last any time. At the end of the week, there is nothing to eat. And when I get in from work there is nothing for me three to eat and when I ask how comes the food in the house finish, I only get attitude and words that are not worthy to write.
She got saved or I must say got baptized and start going to church with me. But instead, things get better it only gets worse. She starts to bring men into my home and when I talk to her about it, she says that I am jealous and no men don't want me.
It doesn't matter to me whether a man wants me yes or no, I have one thing on my mind and that is to make heaven my home. And most importantly the fact that God has anointed me to the Prophetic ministry causes me to walk the straight and narrow path. Romans 12:1" I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." This Scripture in itself keeps me in line. If your vessel is unclean how is God going to pour out his anointing in you?
With her kind of living, it was draining spiritually, emotionally, and physically. It reaches a point where I could not take it anymore. I did not want to be around here. My landlady gave me to notice because of her. I then started to look for a place and found one, I then told her she have to get somewhere for her and her boys. And people that is where all hell broke loose.
I was called by her a wicked and the devil himself, she tell everyone that I take her out of her good job and bring her to Kingston and treating her bad, I don't do anything for her and the one that hurt the most is when she put on Facebook and tell everybody the reason why she and I fall out is that I take her man and she told me that can't work.
I am not going to tell you that it didn't hurt because it did. I cried and ask God what and where have I gone wrong.
And amid my brokenness, God has ordained me as a Christian Worker in church and he also anointed me with fire from above. In the midst of this, I ask God why He is promoting me, when I am broken, hurt and weary and I do not understand all that I am going through.
He God told me that the things that broke me will not break me so deep the next time, where ever I hurt, I will not hurt again. Whatever I am going through is for a testimony to someone who is or has gone through and Most of all I must trust the Process. He God have anointed me to preach good tidings to the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captive to open door to them that are bound.
All I have to do now is to walk in the anointing that God has placed upon my life, do not compromise it for anything or no one. God's Anointing is sacred so I must treasure it.
Whether God anointed you to preach, sing or teach do it with love and let purpose come forth. Just like the prophet Isaiah He accepts the anointing to preach and prophesy God's word to the children of Israel, He obeys God's command and instruction.
