Discover A Greater Anointing Not too long ago, many believers were seeking a new anointing on their lives. Some would travel hundreds or thousands of miles to get an anointed person to pray for them. Their zeal for God was often a good thing and sometimes their search was misguided. The transferral of the anointing is a biblical concept. We learn from Scripture that Elijah’s anointing rested upon Elisha and he later went on to do twice as many miracles as his teacher. Some Christians feel frustrated that the ‘breakthrough’ in their lives has yet to happen, because their anointing is not yet ‘strong enough.’ But where does the anointing come from? Does it not come from God, who trusts the precious anointing into the hands of the faithful? If we are faithfully obedient with the little that we have, God will trust us with more, but if we are disobedient, even the little that we have may be taken away. When we obey God, everything else that we need for the task ahead will fall into place. His anointing rests upon those who have been obedient to the Anointed One. It’s not more anointing or power we need – it’s more obedience! ‘He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much’ Luke 16:10. Paul Backholer Back |
