WHY ANOINTED PEOPLE ARE SCARCE

WHY ANOINTED PEOPLE ARE SCARCE

WHY ANOINTED PEOPLE ARE SCARCE

STUDY SCRIPTURE: Until we’re all moving rhythmically and easily with each other, efficient and graceful in response to God’s Son, fully mature adults, fully developed within and without, fully alive like Christ. -Ephesians 4:13 (MSG).
The scarcity of a thing indicates value. As it is that precious stones are not seen just any where so also is anointing. As we approach the end of age, God is searching for those to pour out His spirit on because the anointed ones are scarce. This particular anointing is an anointing to heal but it is an anointing to live by the dictates of Christ. God wants to pour out this anointing on us to equip us for this time but the issue and question remains ARE WE READY?.
WHY TALK ABOUT SCARCITY OF THE ANOINTING?
An effective, fresh, continuous work with God is at the mercy of the anointing.
Eloquence, oratory, extra degree from prestigious universities is not equal to the anointing.
The anointing immediately sets a man apart from his age mates.
The anointing is a starting point of spiritual revival in a generation.
The anointing is the answer for this generation.
The anointing places a man as a spiritual authority.
It is of important to know that :Brokenness in every generation is as a result of the anointing. The anointing provokes jealousy and range in the kingdom of darkness. To be anointed is to become the target of the devil. Once a man is anointed hell seeks to contaminate and pollute the anointing. And that untested anointing can not become power. There is an anointing to live by and an anointing to perform.God is looking for men and women that He can be proud to call His vessel.
WHY ARE ANOINTED MEN SCARCE?
Anointed men are scarce because; these men are not ready for an attack on their earthen vessels (2nd Corinthians 4:7). The attacks on the earthen vessels includes, attack on the realms of wilderness and attack on the realms of hunger and lack. you need to be prepared for these attack anytime you desire the anointing. know that as a believer, your greatest enemy is your flesh.
further scriptures: 2nd kings 5:20-27, Luke 4:2, Obadiah 1:21.
prayer line: Oh LORD empower me not to exchange the anointing for money or few moments of pleasure, in Jesus name Amen !.

ACCESSING PRODUCTS OF POWER

ACCESSING PRODUCTS OF POWER

Study Scripture

Tell the people, ‘This is what the sovereign LORD says: I will put an end to this proverb, and you will soon stop quoting it.’ Now give them this new proverb to replace the old one: ‘The time has come for every prophecy to be fulfilled!’

  • Ezekiel 12:23 (NLT)

Everything answers to power and Faith is the knob of power. It is not God’s will for His prophecies over our lives to be retarded but for us to access quick blessings as we find in the scripture above. So far we have looked at the following dimensions of faith:

  1. Violent Faith (Matthew 11:12). This is needed to confront all battles of life.
  2. Overcoming Faith (1 John 5:14). This is needed for subduing harassments of the devil
  3. Commanding Faith (Exodus 37:7). This deals with the forces of hell in the realm of the spirit

Access to Products of Power

We access the products of power through the following:

  1. Spirit of Obedience (Job 36:11).
  2. Spirit of Dedicated service (Exodus 23:25).
  3. Sacrificial giving. When you give your offerings and pay your tithes and sow your seeds, you are not supporting the church, rather, you are investing into your future. Investment unlike ‘support’ yields profit. So keep investing through your sacrificial givings.

What are these products of power?

  1. Captivity Turning (Psalms 126:1-4, Job 42:10)
  2. Result-oriented wisdom/ Applicable wisdom

This is the wisdom needed for continuous financial flow. It is the Heaven sense that makes live robust (Ecclesiastics 10:10, Luke 2:52). It is the wisdom that builds destiny. The beauty of your life depends on the level of wisdom you command. It grants you solution to your problems. It is your winning ticket in the race of life. It is the cheapest way to humiliate Satan Proverbs 4:7, 3:13-15

 

God’s wisdom during lack offers Sacrifice/ Distribution/ Giving as a way out while man’s wisdom offers save/accumulation/receiving     (Proverbs 11:24, Psalms 126:3-6). If you wish to live in abundance then subscribe to God’s wisdom.

 

Don’t get too used to the natural; stop following systematic regulation, follow prophetic progression. Anytime, any day, THE COMMUNION is ever effective. Wherever you apply the Blood of Jesus, solution comes (1 Corinthians 10:16 MSG)

 

Further Scriptures: Romans 8:11, Psalms 105:14-15, Romans 11:33, 10:17

Prayer Line: OH LORD, I receive this wisdom for all round success in Jesus name. Amen!

LAW OF THIRSTLESSNESS

LAW OF THIRSTLESSNESS

Study Scripture

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

  • John 7:37 (KJV)

The reason for which so many believers are powerless is because they are not genuinely thirsty for spiritual power. The same you fail to eat when you lack appetite; that is the same way, you will lack spiritual power when you are not thirsty for God’s presence. Behind powerlessness is thirstlessness.

You cannot be thirsty for power and carnality at the same time. You cannot be thirsty for spiritual power and at the same time thirsty for sin/earthly things. Power is at the mercy of thirst and you cannot thirst until you tarry in God’s presence (Acts 1:8, Luke 24:49). It is in God’s presence that you receive spiritual empowerment. A man of spiritual thirst will always escape temptation. In God’s presence, you feed on God; see the way The Message translation puts it: You’re blessed when you’ve worked up a good appetite for God. He’s food and drink in the best meal you’ll ever eat (Matthew 5:6 MSG)

What to thirst for?

  1. Thirst after righteousness (Matthew 5:6)

2 Thirst after prayer (Luke 18:1)

Until you’re thirsty, there is no in-filling of spiritual power (John 4: 8-15, 31-34)

In summary of this series, here is a list of all the laws of spiritual powerlessness:

  1. A wrong heart
  2. Spiritual Carelessness
  3. Disregard for the demands of the cross
  4. Thirstlessness

You shall not be a victim of these laws in Jesus name. Amen!

Prayer line: Oh LORD give me a heart that hungers and thirsts for you in Jesus name. Amen!

THE LAW OF IGNORANCE OR DISREGARD TO THE DEMANDS OF THE CROSS

THE LAW OF IGNORANCE OR DISREGARD TO THE DEMANDS OF THE CROSS

STUDY SCRIPTURE:

But as for me, I will never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world

  • Galatians 6:14 (HCSB)

Spiritual growth is a function of deliberate approach to the cross of Christ. Clinging to the cross puts fire in your bones and makes you highly resistant to the cares of this life and the caprices of the devil. Clinging to the cross simply means living by the dictates of Christ. Understanding the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross is the first step to holiness and successful Christian life (Philippians 2:1-10).

Your spiritual growth determines how prosperous you will be and you will grow spiritually once consistently connected to the cross. When you don’t subscribe to the power of the cross, you will lack the power to live and win daily. As a believer, you must submit to the cross daily, if you must win and reign in life.

A person of the cross endures in the midst of affliction. The essence of the cross is to mature us as believers. A man of the cross does not celebrate what his present level in God, rather, he craves for a deeper walk with God on a daily basis. Thus, the world will be dead to him and he will also be dead to the world (Galatians 6:14 GNT).

WHAT THEN IS THIS CROSS?

  1. The cross is the crux of power. That is to say that it is the base of power to win and live daily.
  2. The cross is the New Testament power engine. That is to say that no power is realized until you cling to the cross.

Disregard to the cross and the sacredness of the cross is the reason for the powerlessness of the church and believers.

HOW DO WE DISREGARD THE CROSS?

  1. We disregard the cross by not applying the life of the cross (1 Corinthians 1:17).
  2. By not submitting to the details of the cross (Matthew 10:38).
  3. By not paying allegiance to the man on the cross. The cross is of no effect without the man on the cross (1 Corinthians 1: 18).

Receive grace to cease stop disregarding the cross of Christ in Jesus name. Amen

Further scriptures: Galatians 6:14-18, Luke 24:11, 2 Corinthians, James 1:1-5

Prayer line: Oh LORD I ask for help from the cross to become mature in you in Jesus in Name.
