When you know that you are anointed, your enemies do not triumph over you, but yield to you without further resistance.

Dear Friend,

The anointing attracts. Yes anyone who is approved of God is a sign and a wonder because God is always working through them. Remember Jesus attracted multitudes wherever He went during His earthly ministry. There are various ways God, people, the devil respond to an anointed person. Understanding these responses will help you to be effective in your walk as an anointed person.

How dos God respond? The bible says that if a man’s way pleases God then ,even his enemies will be at peace with him. He stops every thing that serves to hinder you. God also honors you by confirming the words of your mouth. As you hold fast to him in all circumstances ,He is obligated to see to it that your integrity as His representative among the people is secured. Jesus' prayers were always answered. He preached with signs and wonders following. A typical instance is when Jesus spoke peace to the storm and the disciples exclaimed that even the wind and the waves obey Him. God honored Joshua’s words by making the sun to stand still for a whole day till the people of Israel won the battle. Prophet Samuel’s words did not fall to the ground. You too, can enjoy that privilege if you will speak words or pray prayers born out of faith, for without faith it is impossible to please God!

No man shall be able to hurt or hinder you from accomplishing your assignment if you are approved or anointed of God. God vowed to Joshua that for as long as he obeys His voice ,He will be with him wherever he went ,and nothing will be able to stop him. The presence of God around an anointed person serves as a defense against any opposing forces. If God be for you who can be against you? Secondly, God teaches you the right words to speak that will make it impossible for any opponent to resist. Wherever you go people are struck in awe at the wisdom that proceeds from your mouth. Knowing how to speak a soft word that heals and turns away wrath or prevents strive. And every one will be quick to praise God because of you. Your life becomes a dragnet that will fish people into the Kingdom of God!

Your adversary, fears and flees at your resistance if you are approved. For as long as you submit to God the devil and his cohorts will flee whenever you resist them. Thus, they can not bring mess into your life. If you are not a person under authority, they know, and they will use that against you. Let's do well to live right and not let the flesh get in the way.

Once you are anointed, you become the proof that God is real. As you continue to obey His voice and do the works of Jesus, doing good and bringing souls into the kingdom of God you will continue to enjoy blessing and favor in life.

Everything against me is getting weaker and weaker and I am getting stronger and stronger, because I am Anointed.

Dear Friend,
We are still talking about the Anointing of God. We have already studied in previous lessons that the anointing is the approval of God on the life of the believer who is seriously performing his or her God ordained assignment. This week we found out that no matter the onslaught of the enemy against your life you have an advantage because you are anointed of God. Whilst the enemy is waxing weaker and weaker, you are waxing stronger and stronger. We also found out that the anointing of God does not always rest on a person forever just because they were previously approved. Somehow God links the consistent flow of the anointing to following Him every step of the way towards the fulfillment of our assignments.
We learn from King Saul of Israel’s experience in 1 Samuel 15 ,that because he did not follow the step by step instructions God had commanded him concerning the utter destruction of the Amalekites, he was rejected from being King. However Saul continued to reign as king for several years, and because he did not have the approval of God to be king, he possessed positional authority and not the power to be successful. A word of caution here, when God speaks to you to perform a task ,you do not have to confer with the opinions of men. Make sure you do it exactly the way He showed you. Saul listened to the people and made a god out of them by pleasing them more than God, therefore David was approved to take his place. If God pulls one down and raises up another, the latter is always better.
Following God’s rejection of Saul, David is approved and anointed with oil by the prophet Samuel to be the next king of Israel. Years go by, battles and confrontations go by between the house of Saul and the house of David ,because Saul refused to recognize the fact that God preferred David above him. Instead of allowing his flesh to lead, David waited patiently for many years ,following God every step of the way , with the right attitude and even showed respect towards his political opponents ,till God released him to be king first, over Judah and then, the whole of Israel.
What ever you are faced with in the course of fulfilling your assignment should not distract you from being effective. What ever your assignment is, keep doing it with the right attitude and be sure to follow and obey God’s direction every step of the way to ensure victory. Like David if someone is sitting in your place of honor, house, promotion or other, for as long as you remain anointed the tide is sure to change in your favor. God will do anything for His anointed, even if it means causing your enemies to destroy themselves for your sake!

The Anointing intensifies when You study the word of God, discover Your assignment and do it!

Dear Friend,
The biblical account in Matthew 3: 16-17 indicates that immediately following Jesus’ baptism, God the father expressed His approval by saying, “This is my Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” That incident marked the beginning of signs and wonderful opportunities for His ministry on earth. Therefore He is our perfect example of one who is approved of God. And as such it is logical to take a look at Jesus’ life to know what to do to get the results He experienced as one approved of God.
In 2 Timothy 2 :15 we are commanded to study the word of God very consistently so that we are able to handle our assignments effectively. By studying God’s word and become diligent to obey we are sure to be approved by Him. We remember how 12 year old Jesus left His mother and , stayed in the synagogue for about three days because He was studying the word of God with the Jewish leaders and priests. Later on we see how He responds to His mom’s queries that He must do His father’s business. Like Jesus God has called each and everyone of us to do His business , that is, to study the word and put His word first place in our lives.
Approval of God is also based on what God has appointed for you to do. What is your assignment ? God is seeking for those who are performing their assignments in the way He has instructed in His word so He can show Himself strong for their sakes.
“I do not care if you get ten buckets of the anointing oil.” You will end up being oil drenched only. The anointing intensifies for your specific assignment, as you seek God with all your heart and do what He tells you to do. God has commanded us to win and disciple souls for Christ and in 2010 that is our primary focus .There fore as we obey and win souls, He will release signs of His approval in our lives. What ever your assignment is, God will release signs and opportunities to affirm and confirm its validity.
The yoke destroying and burden removing force of the anointing is available to destroy or remove any hindrance that will dare keep you away from fulfilling your assignment ,if you let Him. “You have been behind too long, now is the time to move to the forefront”. Seek God, study His word, discover your assignment and do it.. God is on your side.

The Anointing - This is the One!

You can do all things through Christ the anointed one and His anointing in you!

Dear Friend,
Happy New Year to You! I am quite sure you are part of the group of winners who are energized to win souls and touch lives for our God more than ever in 2010.No matter what you have been through in the past year ,it is good to know that His mercies towards you are new this new year for you to make a brand new start. You can overcome that mess. You can still love that hard-hearted spouse. You can heal from that seeming difficult pain and hurt. You can forgive that person that hurt you so bad. You can overcome that temptation. You can walk in genuine love towards your neighbor. You can overcome that fear and intimidation which has prevented you from taken that step into God’s freedom and prosperity for your life. Here is why! You are the one that God has chosen and anointed with the abilities to do so.
However it is our job to keep ourselves in a place where God can anoint us with His power and abilities so that we can be effective in prospering in everything we do. Ephesians 4: 26-32 spells out how to position ourselves for a constant flow of the anointing in our lives.
We are admonished not to sin when we become angry and to get rid of anger quickly. To ensure constant flow of God’s approval , we must not give any place to the devil. We should not take anything that does not belong to us, but we must work with our hands so that we will always have something to give to anyone who has need. We should avoid corrupt words from our mouths, but only use words that are good for necessary edification, to impart grace to our hearers. And we must never grieve the Holy Spirit who is the source of the anointing. Avoid all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another for the sake of the anointed one and His anointing in our lives!
In the anchor scripture taken from 1 Samuel 16,we understand that attitudes such as a desperation for a change in a distressing situation , faithfulness in our daily responsibilities , and a genuine walk towards setting ourselves exclusively for God’s use , coupled with the fact that we are called according to His purpose , activates God’s approval
on our lives –which is His Anointing. Therefore protect the anointing and be diligent
to avoid anything that will hinder God’s approval on your life. You need it to Win in 2010!
