You are anointed

 

YOU ARE ALREADY ANOINTED

You are no longer an ordinary person since the Holy Spirit came to live in you. Your life changed when you received Christ and His Spirit came to dwell within you. You have been brought into a new spiritual dimension. You now belong to God, and His presence in you makes you a person set apart to fulfil His purposes.

You have received the nature of God through His Spirit. This does not mean that you become God, but that the Holy Spirit enables you to participate in the life of God and receive what comes from Him. You are no longer called to live only by your own strength, natural understanding, or human abilities. There is now within you a power that comes from God.

That is why you must learn to look at your life not only with your natural eyes, but also with the eyes of faith.

There is something inside you that the world may not always see. People may see your appearance, your work, your financial situation, your family, or your past. But God sees what He has placed inside you.

You are already anointed.

The anointing is not simply an emotion experienced during a church service. It is not merely falling under the power of God, crying during prayer, or experiencing a strong spiritual presence. The anointing is also the divine empowerment that enables a person to accomplish what they could not accomplish by their own strength alone.

When the Holy Spirit fills you, the way you see things begins to change. You discover that some limitations that appeared permanent are not necessarily permanent. You begin to believe that God can open what no one else could open, restore what seemed lost, and make a way where there was no way.

You are already anointed.

THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOU

When the Holy Spirit fills you, the circumstances of your life can change. Closed doors begin to open. Obstacles are no longer seen simply as impossible walls, but as situations in which your faith can be exercised.

The Word of God says:

“When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.”
Isaiah 59:19

This means that you do not have to live in constant fear of what the enemy might do. You need to know the One who lives in you.

The enemy may come against you, but he must not determine your destiny.

There may be battles, opposition, difficult moments, and seasons when you do not understand what is happening. But the presence of God within you remains greater than the situation you are facing.

You must therefore learn to say:

“I am not alone. The Holy Spirit is with me. The Holy Spirit is in me. God has given me the ability to move forward.”

Do not look only at the size of the problem. Look also at the greatness of the God who lives within you.

YOU CAN DO THE WORKS OF JESUS

Today, you can do the same works that Jesus did during His earthly ministry if you believe.

Jesus Himself said:

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”
John 14:12

This statement from Jesus should change the way we think.

Jesus did not say, “He who believes in Me will always remain limited.”

He did not say, “He who believes in Me will be unable to accomplish anything.”

He said:

“He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also.”

This means that faith in Christ brings us into a life of action, service, and the manifestation of God's power.

Jesus preached the good news. He taught. He prayed. He delivered captives. He healed the sick. He fed the multitudes. He lifted those who had been rejected. He brought hope to those who were discouraged.

And He tells those who believe in Him that they will also participate in the work He is doing.

You are therefore not called merely to watch the work of God.

You are called to participate in it.

You can be an instrument in God's hands in your family, your workplace, your business, your community, your city, and, according to the calling God has given you, among the nations.

GOD IS THE SOURCE

Look carefully at the words of Jesus:

“Because I go unto my Father.” John 16:9-10

The Father is the source.

Everything Jesus accomplished was connected to His relationship with the Father. He did not operate independently of God. His power, authority, and mission were rooted in His relationship with the Father.

The term “Abba” expresses the idea of Father in a close and trusting relationship. In Christ, we are therefore called to know God as Father.

And if God is your Father, you must learn to depend on Him as your source.

Your job may be a means, but God remains your source.

Your business may be a means, but God remains your source.

Your salary may be a means, but God remains your source.

A relationship may be a blessing, but God remains your source.

Your intelligence is useful. Your skills are important. Your experience has value. But behind all these things, recognise the One who gives you the ability to move forward.

When you understand that God is your source, you no longer live in constant fear of losing one particular means through which God is blessing you.

If one door closes, you know that God can open another.

If one opportunity disappears, you know that God is not limited to that opportunity.

The source is not the door. The source is God.

RIVERS OF LIVING WATER WILL FLOW FROM YOU

The Bible says:

“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”
John 7:37-38

The passage then explains that Jesus was speaking about the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him would receive.

Notice this expression:

“Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”

Jesus did not speak about a small amount of water.

He spoke about rivers.

The Holy Spirit was not given to remain locked inside you without producing any effect around you. What God puts in you should be able to touch your environment.

You receive so that you can give.

You are blessed so that you can become a blessing.

You are comforted so that you can comfort others.

You are strengthened so that you can strengthen others.

You have received light so that you can shine for those who are walking in darkness.

There may be people waiting for what God has placed inside you.

Your testimony may encourage someone.

Your prayer may lift someone.

Your teaching may enlighten someone.

Your generosity may meet someone's need.

Your business may create jobs.

Your vision may create opportunities.

Your ministry may lead people to Christ.

That is why you must never despise what God has placed inside you.

THE PROMISE OF JOEL IS BEING FULFILLED

The book of Joel declares:

“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.”
Joel 2:28

This prophecy reveals something powerful: God intended to pour out His Spirit upon His people.

The work of the Holy Spirit was not intended to be reserved for only a few people.

God desired to touch men and women, young and old, sons and daughters.

This means that you should not think:

“God can use other people, but He cannot use me.”

God can use you.

You can pray.

You can testify.

You can evangelise.

You can serve.

You can encourage.

You can give.

You can build.

You can teach according to the gift God has entrusted to you.

You can influence your generation.

The same passage speaks about signs and wonders and concludes with this declaration:

“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered.”
Joel 2:32

The ultimate purpose of God's power is not to glorify man. Everything God does should ultimately lead people to recognise His glory and turn towards Him.

YOU ARE ANOINTED TO INFLUENCE

You are empowered to lead your family towards excellence, manage your finances wisely, develop your career or businesses, serve your community, and contribute to the transformation of your environment.

In fact, you have been anointed to influence the world through the gift and vision God has given you.

Your influence does not necessarily begin on a large platform.

It can begin in your home.

It can begin with your family.

It can begin with one person.

It can begin in your workplace.

It can begin in your neighbourhood.

Never despise small beginnings.

David started in the fields before standing before Goliath.

Joseph began in difficult circumstances before arriving at a position of influence in Egypt.

Esther was a young woman before finding herself in a position where her decision could affect an entire people.

Daniel served God in an environment that did not necessarily share his faith, yet his integrity and wisdom became evident.

God can therefore use your present position.

You do not have to wait until you have “arrived” somewhere before you begin to become useful in God's hands.

Start with what you have. Start where you are. Start with what God has already placed inside you.

THE ANOINTING TO BREAK YOKES

The anointing of God in you is intended to bring freedom and to bring light where darkness exists.

The Bible says:

“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.”
Isaiah 10:27

The Scriptures associate the anointing with God's ability to bring freedom and restoration.

There are people who have been carrying heavy burdens for a long time.

Some are weighed down by fear.

Others by discouragement.

Others by wounds from the past, poverty, loneliness, oppression, or different forms of captivity.

God is calling you to become an instrument of comfort, prayer, truth, and freedom.

You can preach the Gospel to those who are captive.

You can bring hope to those who have lost courage.

You can pray for the sick.

You can support people who are going through difficult seasons.

You can help vulnerable people.

You can contribute to restoring lives.

You can bring comfort to broken hearts.

YOU ARE NOT ANOINTED ONLY FOR YOURSELF

Understand this: the anointing God gives you is not only intended to improve your own life.

God blesses you so that you can become a blessing.

If God gives you resources, those resources can be used to bless other people.

If God gives you a business, that business can become an instrument of development and opportunity.

If God gives you a vision, that vision can serve generations.

If God gives you a voice, use it to proclaim what builds people up.

If God gives you skills, put them to work for good.

You can build orphanages.

You can support hospitals.

You can contribute to building schools.

You can establish training centres.

You can help disadvantaged people.

You can support widows and orphans.

You can participate in humanitarian work.

You can create businesses that provide employment for others.

You can contribute to the development of your community.

And according to the doors God opens before you, you may even have influence in different areas of society.

The anointing does not make you passive.

The anointing moves you to serve.

YOU CAN BECOME AN INSTRUMENT IN GOD'S HANDS

So do not say:

“I am only an ordinary person.”

If the Holy Spirit lives in you, you have received a spiritual capacity that goes beyond your natural abilities.

Do not say:

“I cannot do anything.”

Instead, begin to ask God:

“Lord, what have You placed inside me? What gift have You entrusted to me? Who can I serve? Who can I encourage? What vision have You placed in my heart?”

There may be something you have carried in your heart for a long time that you have always considered impossible.

Perhaps it is a business.

Perhaps it is a ministry.

Perhaps it is a social project.

Perhaps it is an educational work.

Perhaps it is a book.

Perhaps it is a mission.

Perhaps it is a vision for your community.

Do not allow fear to convince you that you are incapable before you have even begun.

Learn to trust God and faithfully develop what He has entrusted to you.

YOU ARE ALREADY ANOINTED

You do not need to spend your entire life waiting for one extraordinary moment before understanding that God can use you.

You are already called to walk with Him.

You are already called to serve.

You are already called to pray.

You are already called to testify.

You are already called to love.

You are already called to bring light.

You are already called to do good.

You are already called to be a blessing.

The anointing is not a reason to glorify yourself. It is a responsibility.

The more God entrusts to you, the more you must learn to remain humble.

The more your influence grows, the more your dependence on God should grow.

The more resources God gives you, the more you must learn to use them wisely.

The more doors open, the more you must remember who the source is.

The glory belongs to God.

You are simply an instrument in His hands.

THERE IS STILL MORE

Perhaps you have gone through difficult seasons.

Perhaps you have experienced rejection.

Perhaps you have experienced closed doors.

Perhaps you have experienced loss.

Perhaps you have felt that your life was stuck.

But your past does not necessarily determine what God can do with your future.

Do not look only at what you have lost.

Look also at what God can still build with your life.

Do not look only at the door that closed.

Look to the God who still holds the keys.

Do not look only at your weaknesses.

Look to the One who can strengthen you.

Do not look only at your lack.

Look to the One who is your source.

The Holy Spirit is in you to lead you, teach you, strengthen you, and help you fulfil the will of God.

There are still lives to touch.

There are still families to restore.

There are still people to encourage.

There are still captives to reach with the Gospel.

There are still works to accomplish.

There are still nations to touch.

There are still generations to influence.

CONCLUSION

You are already anointed.

Therefore, do not live as though God has given you nothing.

Do not despise the gift that is in you.

Do not allow fear, doubt, past failures, or the negative words of others to define your identity.

The Holy Spirit lives in you.

You have received a capacity from God.

You have received gifts.

You have received a mission.

You have received a responsibility.

You have received a vision.

And what God has placed inside you is not meant to remain hidden.

Jesus said:

“He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also.”
John 14:12

So rise up.

Believe God.

Develop what He has placed inside you.

Serve faithfully.

Pray in faith.

Work with excellence.

Love people.

Preach the Gospel.

Be a blessing.

Use your resources to do good.

Use your influence to lift others.

Use your vision to build.

And above all, always remember this:

You are not the source. God is the source.

You are not the power. God is the power.

You are not the glory. The glory belongs to God.

But God has chosen to place His Spirit within you so that your life can become an instrument in His hands.

So do not say:

“God cannot do anything with me.”

Instead say:

“Lord, here I am. Use me. Lead me. Strengthen me. Show me what You have placed inside me, and help me fulfil it for Your glory.”

Because you are already anointed.

Rise up. Walk by faith. Serve God. Influence your generation. And let the rivers of living water flow from within you.

PRAYER

Pray like this!

God, I thank You for showing me that I have more power than I thought.

From this moment, I take responsibility for my life and my future. I command my blessings to come to me.

From today onward, I am no longer the tail, but the head.

The enemy is under my feet.

I am blessed and victorious, in the name of Jesus.

Amen!
