I have really exciting news for you this month. That's what the GOSPEL is, GOOD NEWS!
Jesus spoke about it when He was preaching in Luke 4v.18,
The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me,
because He has anointed Me to
preach the gospel to the poor; He has
sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives
and recovery of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty those who are
oppressed.

He was speaking of the burden removing, yoke destroying power of God, the anointing (Isaiah 10v.27). The anointing is God's power at work. We see this confirmed in Acts 10v.38,
...how God anointed Jesus of
Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and
with power who went about doing
good and healing all who were
oppressed by the devil, for God was
with Him.
...how God anointed Jesus of
Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and
with power who went about doing
good and healing all who were
oppressed by the devil, for God was
with Him.
The presence of the Holy Spirit makes the anointing available to us. Paul reminded us that as children of God we are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6v.19). The same anointing is available to us. Jesus said that we would do the same works as Him, in fact, greater (John 14v.12).
If the anointing is available, then why is it that some Christians see a greater degree of power at work in their lives, and others very little? The answer is quite simple really, but it will take faith to hear the truth and allow it to take a hold in your life.
Paul gives us some insight into how God views this anointing in Ephesians 3v.8,
To me, who am less than the least of
all the saints, this grace was given,
that I should preach among the
Gentiles the UNSEARCHABLE
RICHES of Christ.
To me, who am less than the least of
all the saints, this grace was given,
that I should preach among the
Gentiles the UNSEARCHABLE
RICHES of Christ.
We understand that the word, Christ, is not Jesus' surname, but rather a derivative of the Greek word, Christos, which is translated from Hebrew word, Messiah (John 1v.41), or mashiyach, which means an anointed one. Or one who has the anointing.
So, in Paul's reference to Christ, or the Anointed One, he describes the anointing as "UNSEARCHABLE RICHES".
We see him describe the anointing as riches again in Colossians 1v.27,
To them God willed to make known
what are the riches of the glory of
this mystery among the Gentiles:
which is Christ (the Anointed One
and His anointing) in you, the hope
of glory.
To them God willed to make known
what are the riches of the glory of
this mystery among the Gentiles:
which is Christ (the Anointed One
and His anointing) in you, the hope
of glory.
The burden removing, yoke destorying power of God, or the anointing, is referred to as riches. These RICHES are UNSEARCHABLE, yet God makes them available to us. So, if I cannot "find" them, how do I tap into them?
Look at the words of our Master, Jesus in Luke 16 v.11,
...if you have not been faithful in
the unrighteous mammon, who will
commit to your trust the true
riches?
...if you have not been faithful in
the unrighteous mammon, who will
commit to your trust the true
riches?
We have just found out that God considers the true riches to be the anointing. So this verse would read as follows: if you have not been faithful qith your money, who will commit ro your trust the anointing?
Wow! God wants to see how I handle my attitude and relationship towards money before He trusts me with His anointing. Jesus confirmed this in Matthew 6 v.21;24,
21 For where your treasure is,
there your heart will be also...
24 you cannot serve God and
mammon.
21 For where your treasure is,
there your heart will be also...
24 you cannot serve God and
mammon.
If you find any man or woman of God moving powerfully in the anointing of God, you can know with absolute confidence that they are faithful tithers and give generously into the kingdom of God.
God has given us clear instructions what He expects of us when it comes to handling our finances. He has commanded us to tithe (Leviticus 27v.30, Malachi 3v.10) and to give generous offerings (Luke 6 v.38, 2 Corinthians 9 v.6-8).
I told you that I had good news for you. As a faithful partner with this ministry; as you sow your financial gift for this ministry to continue teaching the uncompromised Word of God, the anointing that is on us is released and made available to you (Philippians 1 v.5;7). Praise God!
The burden removing, yoke destroying power anointing of God destroys lack, poverty, sickness, depression... any thing that the devil would try to throw against you, out of your life! Hallelujah!
Janine and I appreciate you very much!
