REASONS TO ASK FOR THE ANOINTING

Post date: Jun 18, 2014 4:00:34 AM

In everything big or small that the Lord would ever assign for you to do in life, as long as Satan is still on this planet, you will definitely need the anointing form heaven to function and to make progress. Anointing is never cheap, indispensable, never too much and never enough. The anointing from heaven will always be very necessary, always needed, will always be sweet in its operations, and will always produce tangible result with time despite opposition.

The reason for the anointing from heaven is for you to function appropriately, effectively and efficiently in the office that God had assigned for you in this present life that you are having. It is for Christ to be glorified, exalted and highly honored through the things you will do, and in the places He will ever lead you to. Anointing is for the world to see Christ through you and bless His name. It is for God to fulfill all of His plans and will in your life and in the lives of those He had assigned to be blessed through you. It is for you to effectively be His representative on earth.

God wants to anoint you, but He will never anoint you for the wrong reasons; He wants to bless your life and make you more useful, but He will never bless you for the wrong reasons; He wants to promote you where you are right now, but He will not do that for the wrong reasons; He wants to multiply you, your seeds and everything about you abundantly, but He will never do that for the wrong reasons. Despite our desires and prayers, when the reasons are right, God will provide the anointing that will bring the fulfillment desired in your life.  

If you need the anointing so that the world will see you in your own glory and power, in your own desired and exalted position, to show that you reign above everyone else, and that you will fulfill any ungodly desires and plans that is in your heart, then that is a wrong desire and you will be disappointed. God will not waste His grace and His anointing, and will not be fooled by any false humility or demand through prayers.   

“Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed David in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon David from that day forward.” 1 Samuel 16:13. After anointing David, the spirit of God took control of his life mightily and started to affect everything he was doing positively from then on, his mastery in music and musical instruments was recognized by people and he earned a commendation to play for Saul in the palace. Though the anointing took David to be in the palace, he was not anointed to be a musician to Saul in the palace but to sit on the throne and reign as king in that same palace. That was God’s reason for the anointing.

Out of cruel jealousy which resulted in wickedness and evil plots, Saul tried all that he possibly could, using all the power of his office as king to kill David, but the anointing protected David from being killed. That is another reason for the anointing, your preservation until the will and plans of God are fully fulfill in your life despite the treats, the attempts on your life and the frustrations from any or all of your enemies.  

Another reason for the anointing is to liberate you from your past, from your fears, from the things and people who hinders you, from ungodly situations and to set your heart and your feet on things that will bring you into your future according to the words of God. “And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.” Isaiah 10:27

Despite your dreams, your desires, your strength and your eloquence, God will never give you the anointing for the wrong reasons. Though Saul had gone astray in his actions against the Lord, David was not anointed to kill him so he can take over and be the king. The anointing had already made him a king waiting to be crown. You, your spouse and children are God's ambassadors waiting to reign with Christ in His glory through the anointing. Put your heart on the right reasons for the anointing; God will not deny you, He will honor you at the right time. For more prayers, Click here
