RECEIVING THE ANOINTING OF GOD

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 Romans 8:9

Receiving the anointing is not optional for any child of God because it is the anointing that makes you a child of God. Romans 8:9 says, “But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.” The LORD Jesus Christ, before He ascended to the Father in Heaven gave this commandment to His disciples: “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:7-8). The disciples only became Apostles after they had received the anointing of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit gave them the power to make declarations concerning the Kingdom of God in the name of Jesus Christ. This kind of power is not the same as physical power, but it is supernatural power that comes direct from God when you declare the Word of God which you invest in your heart, through your mouth. As you issue commands in the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ Himself immediately comes on the scene to cause people to repent or to be immediately healed or to receive different kinds of blessings as well as causing demons to leave human bodies. This power of the Holy Spirit will impact upon a genuine believer, the ability, the efficiency and might to do the same works which the LORD Jesus Christ did when He lived on earth. John 14:12 says, “Verily, verily, l say unto you, he that believes on me, the works that l do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because l go unto my Father.” For the Holy Spirit to completely take over your life, you must spend more time meditating upon the Word of God, day and night just as what Moses, Joshua and the Apostles did. Find time to study your Holy Bible, regularly and repeatedly. Be hungry and thirst for the Word of God. Jesus Christ actually says, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” (John 7:37-38). Once you allow the anointing of the Holy Spirit to take charge of your life, He will reveal to you the many hidden mysteries in the Holy Bible which will completely transform your life. Alleluia!

Prayer

Thank You Father for anointing me with Your Holy Spirit. May You fill me with the hunger and thirst for Your Word as it is through meditating upon Your Word and acting upon it that I am increased in Your anointing. In Jesus Christ’s mighty name I pray. Amen.
