"WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THE ANOINTING (4)"

Post date: Nov 15, 2018 4:48:01 AM

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood contending only with physical opponents, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly supernatural places. Therefore, put on the complete armor of God, so that you will be able to successfully resist and stand your ground in the evil day of danger, and having done everything that the crisis demands, to stand firm in your place, fully prepared, immovable, victorious. So stand firm and hold your ground, having tightened the wide band of truth, personal integrity, moral courage around your waist and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, an upright heart, and having strapped on your feet the gospel of peace in preparation to face the enemy with firm-footed stability and the readiness produced by the good news. Above all, lift up the protective shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.” Ephesians 6:12-16. Everyone is in need of freedom from the powers and control of the spiritual dark world competition to keep everyone within their reach, absolute control, and influence of their wicked actions and manipulation, but through the anointing in of Christ in you and the heavenly anointing in the word of God, you have every chance and every opportunity to be free from their influence and be victorious. You can never stop the devil in his actions, but you can have the victory in every one of his schemes against you through the power of the anointing. When you ignore the anointing and the power it carries through Christ Jesus, you be postponing the day of your freedom from unwelcome struggles in life and you will remain a pawn in the devil's hands for many years.

Did you know that besides sickness, lack, and any other adversity, life is a continuous struggle irrespective of your wealth, location, profession and age, and the struggle become more severe when the forces of darkness are actively involved and you do not know it or have any solution in sight? We are in the world where everyone competes with everyone for everything; competition brings out the best in you in knowledge, strength, wisdom, insight, and patience. Though we often find it difficult in many ways and in many things, but in every competition, there will be a victor and a loser, there will be the strong and the weak, and there will be those who will fall out and those who will rise up. The one thing I want you to know is that we can never avoid being in these competitions, but we can succeed in every one of them through Christ who gives us the strength to be engaged actively in every completion. Another thing is that for the Christians, the competition is more severe than for others, this is because behind the scene of whatever you are competing for in life, is the hands of the devil, the power of satanic oppressors and oppression, the wickedness of the forces of darkness and their evil controllers who are strong, powerful and able to resist you to the very, end and they have great testimonies of their success in wickedness, but we have greater testimony through Christ who defeated them on the cross and gave us the grace and the anointing to overcome their forces and powers.

Apostle Paul said: the anointing keeps you ahead of your competitors and companions in every competition. Hebrews 1:9. “You have loved righteousness, integrity, virtue, uprightness in purpose and have hated lawlessness, injustice, and sin. Therefore, God, Your God has anointed You with the oil of gladness above your companions.” Referring to the anointing of our Lord Jesus Christ; because you have believed in Him and are following His ways and steps and trusting in His ability and victory on the Cross, that same anointing in on you to overcome evil, to stand up again after a fall, to live without without sin despite the competition and have the success that had been destined for you in Christ by our Father in heaven. Paul said for we are not ignorant of the devices the devil is using against us in our struggles. For prayers Click here
