Case:David was anointed to be king 17 years earlier before he actually walked in the position. He had the anointing minus the position while Saul operated in a position which he had no anointing.
Point:The anointing always precedes the position. God has already anointed you for a position of a future date. Just let Him continue to build you up in the things of God and He will use you mightily for His purpose
UNDERSTANDING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE OLIVE TREE AND ANOINTING OIL In the Old Testament, God ordained the anointing oil to bless His people. But what can new covenant believers use it for today? Today we will see scriptures from the Bible how the anointing oil speaks of Christ and His finished work. Understanding this will give you access to God’s supernatural provision of health, wholeness and prosperity! The Bible mentions in many places the grain, wine and oil. For years, I had wondered why the Lord always mentions these three items together. So I asked the Lord and I thank Him that the search is over. Through the grain, wine and oil, we can receive by grace, not by accomplishing or striving, all the benefits of Jesus. Man ate his way into trouble in the Garden of Eden. By the same token, you can eat your way back into God’s blessings today. Seeing Christ In The Grain, Wine And Oil The grain and wine represent the Holy Communion, which speaks of...
May I Have Your Attention, Please? There’s hearing, and then there’s listening. Hearing is the ability to perceive sounds or information. Listening is paying attention to them. In the book of Jeremiah because the people would not listen it is very sad, but sadly not uncommon. These Old Testament accounts from the Prophet Jeremiah are huge red flags warning us of danger ahead when we don’t give God our full attention with all our heart, mind, and strength. Why? Well, if we aren’t paying attention to God and His ways, we’re headed in the wrong direction—going backward and not forward. Too often, these wrong paths take us to dark and destructive places. The culprit of distraction is usually some innocently attractive lure such as a full schedule, raising kids, a quest for more of something, or even an electronic gadget with a host of fun surprises! To my knowledge, my 5 children all have perfect hearing, but too often their listening can be passive! Sometimes I would say so...
Stranger Danger Many in the body of Christ have become increasingly vulnerable to the deceptions of the voice of the enemy. Listening to God’s voice becomes a real challenge due to ungodly chatter . Tragically, some people begin to doubt God’s word and the truth He teaches from His Word. The Lord will allow us to see the origin of this problem Ask yourself the question? Why did Eve ever indulge in listening to the serpent’s deceptive words? Why didn’t she recognize that this was the voice of the stranger? She seemed so easily swayed by the enemy’s lies. Why was Eve so easily enticed ? I believe that even though Eve knew truth, she wasn’t firmly grounded in truth. She knew what God “said” but never fully grasped Who He was—in Agape love and in sovereignty . She didn’t understand He would never hold back any good thing from her. Psalms 84:11KJV For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing ...
Amen,I pray I continue to grow in the Word of the Lord.
