Text: Phil 4:13
John 14:12- 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
1. You have an anointing.
When there is a lack of anything needed, it is because of a lack of the anointing. e.g. John 6:1-12, 1 kings 17:13-14:17
At Mount Carmel , we see the role of the anointed in every miracle. You have an anointing SPECIALLY designed by God for your place, roles in life, your assignments and your responsibilities. Spiritual and secular roles carry different aniontings. Daniel and Joseph functioned with the anointing in secular roles.
2. Don’t let your head lack oil, why? It leads to dryness and dandruff.
Eccl 9:8- let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment.
Psalm 23:1-6
1 The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
2. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters
3. He restoreth my soul; He leadth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5. thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
- Strife according to His working.
Col - Work out what God is working in you.
3. Who and what is the antichrist?
(a) A literal person – 2Thess 2, 1John 4:1
(b) 1 John 2:18- little children, it is the last time; and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
(c) Eph 4
There are many antichrists – anti-anointing
· People
· Things
· Spirits
· Attitudes that are against the anointing.
· Anything that questions or hinders the flow of the anointing. Stay away from the flesh – Gal 5:16-22, stay in the spirit.
Beware of unholy alliances – marriage, business, friendship, family… 2Cor 6:14-end, Neh.13, Ezra 8, 2chron 20:35, 1 kings 3:1, 1Sam 30:1; 31:1.
4. How do you replenish your store or river of the anointing?
(a) Connect to a GIFT OF CHRIST – Eph 4:7- but unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
(b) Stay in love ( in the fruit of the spirit – Gal 5:22- stay in the spirit)
(c) Stay in unity – Psalm 133
(d) Stay in the word.
(e) Remain in anointed fellowship. 1 Sam 10:1-10, 1 John 1:1-7
Take note of these three levels
· Anointing within – Isa 45:5-6, Exo. 40:38
· Anointing upon – Lev 10:5-10
· Anointing among – Exo 30:22-38.
How to relate with the anointing upon men
· Hear their words – John 3: 35- the Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
· Sow into their lives – 2 Kings 4:8- and it fell on a day that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread
· Be sensitive to their presence – Mark 6
5. Effects of the anointing- 1 John 2: 20-27, Col 1:27, 2 Cor 13:1-6, Pro 8:1-12, 1Cor 2:16 – mind of Christ; 2 Sam 23:6-7 –protection; Psalm 89, Psalm 92:1-end, 1Sam 10:1-10, 1 Sam 15: , Psalm133, 2 Sam 3:1, Esther 6:13-14. Supernatural supplies and the anointed. Phil 4:9- those things which you have both learnt and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
6. DON’T LET SATAN STOP THE ANOINTING IN YOUR LIFE.
Don’t let satan separate you. Jude1:16-21. – spirit of mockery.
2Peter 3:1-6.
7. The anointing creates a dynasty or generation of it’s own. 2 Cor 4:13
· David and giant killers – 2 Sam 21:15-23
· Joseph and reaching the top
· Jesus and miracle workers (Apostles) – Acts 4:13.
· Paul and the ministry things – Silas, Timothy, Titus – Rom 16
· The spirits of just men made perfect. Heb 12:22
8. The things of the anointing only come when you acknowledge your source.
· Jesus acknowledged the father. – John 5:30- I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine won will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
· John the Baptist acknowledged Jesus – John 1:15-33
· The Apostles – 2 Cor 4:5-7.
The Corinthians lacked the anointing because they did not acknowledge Paul. 1 Cor 9:1-end, 1 Cor 4:1-end.
Spirits that hinder people from acknowledge their source
· Shame
· Mockery –e.g Sambalat and Tobiah. Jude 1:17-22, 2 Pet 3:1-6
· Intimidation.
9. THINGS SATAN CAN DO:
Satan cannot eight or defeat the anointing. BUT
(a) he can separate you from it
(b) he can stop you from walking in it
(c) he can make you neglect or ignore it
(d) he can fake it
(e) he can make you copy it without the substance of it. (You can copy the action of the anointed that you are submitted to, that you carry their spirit in sonship and you’ll experience the same flow e.g Elisha copied Elijah’s action at the parting of Jordan.- 1 kings 2:)
10. THE CHURCH AND THE ANOINTING
- Membership level
- Partnership level
- Both
11. THE ROLE OF THE ANOINTED IN THE MIRACLES OF THE BIBLE
What does the man of God bring? It is the ANOINTING.
What does the anointing do?
(a) it increases the contribution of God to the situation.
(b) it reduces or removes the contribution of satan.
Examples: - Jesus and the woman with the issue of blood. – Mark 5
- Elijah and the widow of Zarephat. – 1 kings 17
- Elisha and the widow of the son of the prophet. – 2 kings 4:1-7.
- Elisha and the Shunamite. – 2 kings 4:8-end
12. THE RESULTS OF A LACK OF THE ANOINTING.
Eph 2:12- that at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world.
a. burdens and yokes continue generationally.
b. 1King 19- Mount Camel- People wonder who is really God?
c. no divine communication
d. closed heavens
e. divine silence- Saul
f. unnecessary defeats by the enemy- 2Sam.1:17-23
g. anti-covenant experiences- Joshua 7: 1-11
h. satanic oppressions- Samson-Judges 16:20-23
- Saul- 1Sam.15:14-15
There are 2 ways a man can lack the anointing;
a. the spirit can leave grieved (when grieved by evil acts)
b. a man can walk away from God, His calling, His place and the will of God.
Damas- 2Tim.4:10
Judas
Peter- John 21:3- Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, we also go with thee. They went forth and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
c. when a man can enter a wrong role- Uzzah
13. WINNING THE ANOINTING
Phil.3:1-15
No confidence in the flesh-Rom.12:3- the grace
