Post date: Dec 7, 2018 4:47:50 AM

You will not only become better equipped after meeting the demands of the anointing, you will become well prepared to take the task ahead, well prepared to accomplish good things in life, produce enduring results, become well prepared to give better answers to all situation and bring solutions to difficult situations in your own life and in the lives of others. The demands of the anointing are targeted to enhance your purpose, your success, your desires, your call, your duties and your relationship with God while Satan will want to use them to bring you down, stop your upward movement, destroy your life, make things difficult for you, force you to compromise, change your focus from seeking better result to seeking ways of escape from present unpleasant situations, make you think of your self-comfort higher than what God had planned for you after the demands. When the demands unfolds, the devil will want you to think and believe you are being cheated, humiliated, insulted, used and that you will never recover, never overcome, and never have the victory, but you will recover whatever you have lost, you will overcome insults, humiliations, frustrations, disappointments and you will have the victory if you do not quite the fight because of these pressing demands. Note, before these demands come, God had already scheduled your moments of victory and the day and the time and the place of your celebration.

You will never remain the same after meeting the demands of the anointing; you will not go back to failing ways and failing dreams and wild imaginations of success and breakthroughs; you will not feel that shame and humiliations again and you will not remain backward again. Jesus Christ did not go out of that wilderness crying; did not go out with shame or humiliation, did not go out sorrowful or confused, did not go out looking for something to do or someone to pay attention to Him, did not go out begging for food or recognition. He went out with a joyful heart, with power, with full honor as the Son of God, with praises in His heart, and went out with full assurance, full confidence and He went out victoriously. You can go out the same way from every affliction and temptation and demands of the devil on your life and profession and calling. Jesus Christ went out of the wilderness and from that temptation with the power of the Spirit to accomplish what was destined, designed, desired of Him by God. He went out and the news about Him spread throughout the entire region. He went out and immediately began teaching with confidence and authority than all others who had ever taught in that synagogue before, with truth, and with praise and honor. He walked out of that wilderness with His feets and Satan could not hold Him back, you will also walk out from that temptation with your feets; He went out and men started paying attention to Him, to His words, and His message; He went out and people started recognizing Him of the Son of God and started seeing the authority of the Almighty God on Him; He went out and people started speaking well of Him.

“So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read. The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written, the Spirit of the Lord is upon me because He has anointed me to preach the good news to the poor, He has sent me to announce release, pardon, forgiveness to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who are oppressed, bruised, crushed; to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord, the day when salvation and the favor of God abound greatly. Then He rolled up the scroll having stopped in the middle of the verse, gave it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all those in the synagogue were attentively fixed on Him. He began speaking to them: today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing and in your presence. And as He continued on they all were speaking well of Him, and were in awe and were wondering about the words of grace which were coming from His lips, and they were saying, is this not Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:13-22.
