But as many as received him, to
them gave he power to become
the sons of God, even to them
that believe on his name: John 1:12.
READ: 1 Samuel 16:11-13.
11.And Samuel said unto Jesse,
Are here all thy children? And he
said, There remaineth yet the
youngest, and, behold, he
keepeth the sheep. And Samuel
said unto Jesse, Send and fetch
him: for we will not sit down till
he come hither.
12.And he sent, and brought him
in. Now he was ruddy, and withal
of a beautiful countenance, and
goodly to look to. And the LORD
said, Arise, anoint him: for this is
he.
13.Then Samuel took the horn of
oil, and anointed him in the midst
of his brethren: and the Spirit of
the LORD came upon David from
that day forward. So Samuel rose
up, and went to Ramah.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR : ISAIAH
9:8-11:16 and ACTS 3
MESSAGE
In 1 Samuel 2:8, we read of what
the Almighty God can make out of
the life of an ordinary person. He
gives the power to become. This
power come to an individual by
the spirit of God. When the power
of the Holyspirit comes in contact
with an ordinary person, that
fellows ceases to be ordinary and
becomes extraordinary. However,
before the gift of the Holy spirit
can come upon an individual, he
or she must posses some
qualities that will bring about
such empowerment. Before God
can Trust you with His power, He
would have ascertained that you
would make good use of it. God
gives His Power for the purpose
of expanding His Kingdom on
earth ( Acts 1:8 )
David was given the power to
become a deliverance minister
through the instrumentality
the anointing. What Spiritual
work can anyone do without
anointing? Absolute Nothing!
Some people do not know the
essence of the anointing; they
think being ordained is just for
the conferment of titles such as
deacons, deaconess, pastor,
bishop etc. No! The primary
essence of being ordained is to
impart the anointing that
destroys yokes. Such yokes are
first destroyed in the life of the
anointed. The anointing equips a
person for spiritual assignments
that are primarily geared towards
the destruction of the kingdom of
the devil.
One of my sons describes the
need for the anointing this way "
when an engineer does his
engineering work in a secular
organisations, he does not need
the anointing. However, when
that same engineer becomes
engaged in the service of the
church, he needs the anointing to
succeed. This is so because the
devil knows he now works to pull
down his kingdom through the
medium of the church." An
electronics engineer in the media
department of a living church
organisations or in a Christian
media house definitely need the
Holyspirit 's anointing to succeed
in making the gospel heard either
through the pulpit or on
television screens. This is the
reasons why every skilled worker
of the church, including financial
managers, need to be born again,
sanctified and Holyspirit filled if
they would not end up becoming
like Judas Iscariot. This will make
them obtain power to become
unstoppable and indestructible
vessels of honour in the
household of faith.
ACTION POINT;
Purge yourself of all sinful habits
so that you may be prepared unto
every good work as a vessel of
honour (2 Timothy 2:21)
