When we talk about the” Anointing”, most ly we first think of being smeared with oil or the act of pouring oil
on a person. All these are part of the ways of receiving and impacting the anointing unto a man.
Anointing in the Hebrew means “Meesh-Khaw” which means To be Consecrated. The anointing that has
being bestowed within you and upon you is the grace that empowers you to operate in the
supernatural. In other words, you are able to operate easier without struggle in complex matters. The
Anointing makes the impossibilities possible, for you do not work things out by your own might but by
the Spirit of God. Zechariah 4:6.
Every born-again Christian should desire the anointing of the Holy Spirit
to preach the Gospel to win more souls for the Kingdom of God.
This leads us to the giver of the Anointing. The question now is who gives the anointing? (THE SPIRIT OF
GOD GIVES US THE ANOINTING).
In Zechariah 4:6 “Then He spake unto me, this is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by
might, nor by Power, but by my Spirit, saith the LORD of host. The Holy Spirit is responsible for anointing
men with supernatural power to perform specific task and assignments on earth.
Jesus is our typical example of being empowered by the Holy Spirit to perform His divine assignment on
earth. When JESUS said in Luke 4:18-19

MAKE GOD FIRST

                                                    

The only way a subject of God can control your life is when you allow and worship it. Stop embracing material things that will profit you nothing and seek for the spiritual things of God. It is a fallacy when you think God is first in your life but when you wake up from bed,  you ignore prayer, 

God's word,and meditations and rather always thinking of how to look good on the outside, who paged you on the social media, envying people who have some material things you do not possess instead of learning from people who are climbing higher everyday in God through Christ Jesus. 

The youth of today are blinded by satan to worship him through fashion. Many people now goes to church with the motive of being the top model with a smart dress than any other person. Unnecessary competitions which in the long run will bring someone's faith down instead of lifting it up. We are deprived from receiving the deep things of God because we have already allowed a certain god to rule us.

 Do not worship and fear anything that is subject to GOD, BUT only GOD, for those subjects exist because of God's mercies. All manner of tongues that rises against you will have no effect on you because it's only GOD whose word will stand in your life and HE alone is in charge of your tomorrow. Make GOD first in everything and He will make you first.

(Matthew 6:33  Romans 12:12  Mark 8:36  Luke 12:15  1John 2:16-17  James 4:2-4  Ecclesiastes 6:9  Colossians 3:2-3)

PRAYER FOR YOU (PSALM 119:36-37)

Its my prayer that, May God bring us to the place where we acknowledge him before anything else and may we never fall prey to the devil in Jesus name.
GOD LOVES YOU.
