THEME: ANOINTED BY THE SPIRIT
30/11/2016
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
