• There is something in you that God desires to anoint.
- You would need to recognize the gifts in you; the passion of yours which God wanted to anoint, in other to bless others through it.
- If you could not recognize the gifts which God wanted you to bless others with, you would not have the satisfaction or fulfilment you want.
- Fulfilment comes through the discovery of the gifted in you that God wished to anoint in blessing others.
• Take note: When God anointed what you are having, you become a blessing, a reward, or a solution, to other people's problems. You become an answer to their prayers.
- For you not to lack or beg, you had to discover the gifted in you and release it that God might anoint It, and use it for the blessing of others.
• The importance of God's Anointing on the gifts.
- The Anointing would magnify the gifts. The Anointing turns a common or an ordinary thing to an extraordinary thing.
- What you had which you thought is common or ordinary, or not valuable; should be turned to God to be empowered or anointed.
THUS, what was turned to God becomes an uncommon thing, an instrument of Blessings and deliverance for others. - God turned the Moses' rod or staff that he uses in directing the flock, the animals, to a wonder performing rod or staff:
1 THEN Moses answered and SAID, “BUT suppose they will NOT believe me OR listen to my VOICE; SUPPOSE they say, ‘The LORD has not appeared to you.’ ” 2 SO THE LORD SAID TO HIM, “WHAT IS THAT IN YOUR HAND?” HE SAID, “A ROD.” 3 AND He said, “Cast it on the ground.” So he cast it on the ground, AND IT BECAME A SERPENT; AND Moses fled from IT. 4 THEN the LORD said to Moses, “Reach out your hand and take it by the tail” (and he reached out his hand and caught it, AND IT BECAME A ROD IN HIS HAND)" (Exodus 4:1-4). - Through the above Scripture, we could see the process through which God turned Moses' rod to His own rod. God empowered, or anointed the rod.
- The same rod or staff was turned to a snake that swallowed the snakes that were falsely and magically brought by Pharaoh's magicians.
- The same rod or staff was used to path the Red Sea, brought water from the rocks. And a number of other things were done through the rod or staff of Moses.
- It was an ordinary rod initially, a Moses' rod, but when God empowered or ANOINTED it, It became the rod of God:
19 NOW The LORD Said to Moses in Midian, “GO, RETURN TO EGYPT; FOR ALL THE Men WHO SOUGHT YOUR LIFE ARE DEAD.” 20 THEN Moses took his wife and his sons and set them on a donkey, AND HE RETURNED TO THE LAND OF EGYPT. AND MOSES TOOK THE ROD OF GOD IN HIS HAND" (Exodus 4:19–20 (NKJV). - Your gift or the ability to do a thing well is that rod. If you allowed God to ANOINT it or empower it, It becomes the gift of God.
- God also empowered David's ordinary sling, empowered it, to kill Goliath who defied the armies of Israel and the God of Israel.
- To you, the gifted or ability or skill might look COMMON, but If you turned it to God, It would become an instrument of blessing to you and others. Do not hesitate to take a step now.
- What you do not have, God would not need. In other words, whatever you would need for the assignment which God had for you—are already in you.
- When King Saul gave his armour to David, he could not move, because God did not train him with that, he would not need it. He was used to sling and stones:
38 SO SAUL CLOTHED DAVID WITH HIS ARMOUR, AND he put a bronze helmet on his HEAD; HE also CLOTHED him with a COAT OF MAIL. 39 DAVID fastened his sword to his armor and tried to walk, FOR HE HAD NOT TESTED THEM. AND DAVID SAID TO SAUL, “I CANNOT WALK WITH THESE, FOR I HAVE NOT TESTED THEM.” SO DAVID TOOK THEM OFF.
40 THEN he took his STAFF in his hand; and he chose for himself FIVE SMOOTH STONES from the BROOK, AND put them in a shepherd’s BAG, IN a pouch which he HAD, AND HIS SLING WAS IN HIS HAND. AND HE DREW NEAR TO THE PHILISTINE" (1 Samuel 17:38-40 NKJV). - Whatever gifted or the line of calling you saw in someone else, which you craved to have, or desired to be used alike, might not work or produce any result.
- Your gifted or ability is not less important, If you pay attention to it, use it regularly, and receive the training needed on how to maximize the use of it; It would equally announce you and make you great.
- That gifted or ability that looks insignificant, is needed by some people. It is a rod to path their Red Sea, a solution to their predicaments. Do not despise it, put it to work or Usage.
- You can only prevail or succeed with your gifted that has been empowered or anointed by God, and not with a borrowed or craved gifted or ability of someone else:
"SO DAVID PREVAILED OVER THE PHILISTINE WITH A SLING AND A STONE, AND STRUCK THE PHILISTINE AND KILLED HIM. BUT there was NO sword in the hand of DAVID" (1 Samuel 17:50 (NKJV).
• You have the gifted, the potential, and the Training needed already.
- All you have been taken through are the trainings meant to prepare you for the assignment before you.
- When the rod or sling or whatever, is anointed or empowered, It gives credibility to your calling. It authenticates that you have met with God. The rod is the proof that you are the called of God.
- Moses' ordinary rod that became a serpent was the proof that he had met with God (Exodus 4:1-4).
• You will not fail in Jesus' name.
- Whatever is not planted in your body by God that is working against your health, such is cursed and uprooted totally in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
- And the Affliction will never come up again in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
Peace!
