Rhema For Living 8 December 2022 OFM Devotional From The Desk of God’s Servant, Rev, (Dr) Lizzy Johnson-Suleman. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
TOPIC: The Anointing (2)
BIBLE READING: Phil. 1-4
TEXT: “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him” 1 John 2 :27.
The anointing should occupy a prominent place in the life of every child of God. When God grants you the anointing, several benefits are attached to it. The anointing adds value, not just to your life, but also to the lives of everyone you come in contact with. The benefits of the anointing are so many that they cannot be for those who are lazy or easily give up.
When Elisha was desperate for the anointing, the other sons of the prophets were busy laughing him to scorn (2 Kings 2 :3 – 5).
They tried to discourage him from reaching his goal by deriding him, but he never got discouraged. He continued to serve and follow his master devotedly. Those who had earlier discouraged him were the first set of people to congratulate him later on when the anointing rested on him. (2 Kings 2 :15).
Nobody may know of your secret prayers now, but the moment your prayers are answered, you will begin to tell the secrets of your success.
If you really want to experience the anointing, don’t ever allow anybody to discourage you. Keep seeking God’s face and serving Him diligently. God is always ready to baptize you with the fire required to make the world focus on you.
The presence of the anointing guarantees that there will continue to be a proof of answered prayers in your life.
PRAYER: My Father! My Father! As I begin to pray, baptize me afresh with the anointing.
