But the
anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you...(1 John 2:27).
As a child
of God, there’s an anointing on your life; it’s a divine enablement. Many
mistake the anointing for the Spirit, but the anointing isn’t the Spirit. The
Spirit gives the anointing; the anointing is a divine power. It’s that power of
God that heals, delivers, removes burdens, and causes you to prosper. It brings
you victory. It opens doors for you. It uplifts you, and causes you to fulfil
the will of the Father. It accomplishes works beyond your human ability.
Another
beautiful thing is that the anointing on your life can increase. Sometimes,
people want to do more; they want to make more impact with the Gospel by
reaching more people. Yes; that’s possible and commendable, but you need
increased grace. God will have to increase the authority given to you; but
first, you must be faithful with what you already have. If you’re faithful in
using what you currently have, then He’ll cause a new anointing to come on you.
If you’re a
leader in the house of God, for instance, and the Lord has committed fifty
members to you to lead, be committed in praying and interceding for those fifty
as you would for fifty thousand. If you’re not faithful with the fifty, even if
you fast and pray for increase in membership, it may never happen, because the
anointing can’t be increased without faithfulness. Jesus said in Luke 16:10,
“He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he
that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.” It’s a spiritual
principle.
Choose to
be faithful with whatever the Lord has committed to your hands. Don’t despise
little beginnings, because your faithfulness with, and to that which may seem
“little” today is what will take you to the next level.
PRAYER: Dear
Lord, I thank you for your anointing upon my life, and for the privilege of
being a minister of reconciliation. My spiritual fervour is at its peak,
because I’m full of the Spirit. I’m faithful and effective in the ministry and
assignment committed into my hands, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER
STUDY: 1 Corinthians 4:1-2 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of
Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is required in
stewards, that a man be found faithful.
Luke 16:10
He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he
that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
1 Peter
4:10 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to
another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
