WHAT CHRIST SAID ABOUT HIS ANOINTING

Post date: Nov 2, 2018 3:45:11 AM

“Then Jesus went back to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news about Him spread through the entire region. And He began teaching in their synagogues and was praised and glorified and honored by all. 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, downtrodden, bruised, crushed by tragedy, 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 to teach; 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 4:14-22. Reading from Isaiah 61:1-3

Everybody in the town and synagogue knew Jesus Christ, they knew His background; they knew about His earthly parents Joseph and Mary; they knew everything about their occupation and their successes and their daily struggles; they knew about Christ level of education; they about all of His other brothers and sisters; but none of them knew the power of the Holy Spirit that was working in Him and the power of the anointing that came upon Him after reading those scriptures; none of them knew He could speak so eloquently, openly and graciously on religious matters, none of them expected to see any difference in him compared to other children like Him in the same neighborhood and location with the same level of education. The best they expected from Him was that Christ will take after the profession of Joseph which was carpentry, not knowing that God had another plan quite different from the thought, imaginations, and expectations. None of them knew God had a better plan and Christ will definitely accomplish what God had planned. Do you know that the anointing will change people’s expectations about you irrespective of your education, profession, and location? Did you know that the anointing will do to you what people never expected will ever happen to you? I have seen the anointing work, I have experienced the sweet results, and I have tasted of the goodness of the anointing in several ways. The anointing changing people, situations and can and will definitely change you irrespective of what the people might or expect of you. God is still working with His people through the power of His divine Holy Anointing in ways that are far beyond human expectations and imaginations.

The power of the anointing will fulfill a purpose and will enhance your life greatly despite your background or family history. When the anointing comes, the old things are taken away and new things will begin. It will be seen openly and our Father in heaven will be praised. God does not want you to continue in the expectations of men but to rise above them; He does not want you to continue in the past but to pursue the future and anointing will hasten the manifestation of the future God had planned for you. There is a purpose for your living, there is a reason for your salvation, there is a design for your life and there is a need for success and that is the reason for the anointing. There are things you will never be able to do without the anointing despite what you know, what you have, where you are, and how good you are in doing what you know and what you want. There are also many things you can and will do when you receive the anointing and when that anointing is fully operational. The God who designed your life and ways will give you that anointing today to fulfill His plans in your life. For prayers Click here
