Word for Today: Anointing(3)-the New Anointing.
Ministry of the Word (MOW):True Spirituality
Memory Verse:
“Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful” (Rev 21: 5)
Dearly Beloved
I have this belief that many Christians lack understanding of the New Anointing in Christ Jesus. The new anointing is spiritually aggressive, violent, zealous and radical for Christ. The new anointing has no time for nonsense. It does not compromise. It has no time for passivity. The new anointing creates increasing awareness of our being joint heir with Christ, as sons of God.
In Christ, God is saying: “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert” (Isaiah 43:19).
If you are truly born again, then you are for signs and wonders (Mark 16:17-20). Enough of running around looking for someone to pray for you or see vision for you. Jesus says: “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you” (Luke 10:19).
Apostle Paul truly tapped into the new anointing and power in Christ Jesus, so much that his handkerchiefs were healing the sick (Acts 19:2). He made us to understand that the kingdom of God is not merely in words but in power: “For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power” (1Cor 4:20).
Remember, for your new anointing to be manifested, you have to rise spiritually. If you are not ready to do something different from what you have been doing, the chances are that nothing NEW will happen in your life. The new anointing brings about a new way of thinking; A new way of speaking; A new way of behaviour. Thinking, speaking, and acting in line with the Truth and the Way (John 14:6).
In Christ, you are a god on earth .
“I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High” ( Psalm 82:6)
Happy new week.
Have a Spirit-filled week.
Thank you JESUS.
To grow spiritually requires daily meditation with the word of God (Joshua 1:8) and seeking first the kingdom of God and its righteousness (Matthew 6:33). It also requires total fear of God, and spiritual training in the word of God: “Train yourself to be godly”(1Tim 4:7-8 NIV).
Prayer
Dear Father, we bless your holy name for the new anointing you have started in our lives. Accept our thanks in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
Yours in the Vineyard of Christ.
