MEMORISE: “And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.
And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.” Revelation
21:5.
READ: Acts 1:7-8.7.And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. 8.But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in
MESSAGE
“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house ofIsrael , and
with the house of Judah
The implication of this passage is that the new covenant presupposes a new anointing which is represented by Jesus Christ. He makes many things new including our mode of worship. After Jesus Christ had completed the work of our redemption, before He ascended to be with His father, He promised the disciples the power of the Holy Ghost (Acts1:5, 8). The coming of the Holy Ghost brought the new anointing which does many things in the life of a believer. One of such is the conviction of sin. Another thing the new anointing does is found in Luke 4:18-19 “The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”
The new anointing brings the good news of salvation to sinners. It also brings healing, deliverance and the recovery of sight to both spiritually and physically blind individuals. With the new anointing, we are shielded from seducing and lying spirits. We are properly groomed into all godliness without having to struggle on our own. Also, the Bible says: “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.” 1John 2:27

Our Lord
Jesus Christ, under the influence of the new anointing, went about doing good, preaching
the gospel of peace between man and the Almighty God. When a new believer comes
under the new anointing, 2 Corinthians 5:17 explains what happens; “Therefore
if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become new.”
My prayer
for someone using this devotional is that the blessing of the new anointing
will be your portion in Jesus’ Name. However, you must surrender your life to Jesus
Christ first.
ACTION
POINT: Activate the new anointing upon your life by praying in Jesus’ Name for
the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
BIBLE IN
ONE YEAR: DEUTERONOMY 14:1-16:17 AND JOB 5:1-16.
