Divine Anointing
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;“
Isaiah 61:1
Picturing a person anointed by the Spirit of God, especially for preaching, one can’t help but think of Jesus, the ultimate minister. As His followers, we receive the Holy Spirit and become ministers ourselves. Everyone who knows and loves Jesus receives a divine anointing to share the gospel, good news, with others.
“Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave his charge: “God authorized and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I’ll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:18-20 MSG
God gives you everything you need to share the good news of Jesus. Just tell others how following Christ has transformed your life. Strive to become more like the Savior every day and share what you know with others. Following Jesus, the journey doesn’t end until we reach heaven. If we remain teachable and humble, we’ll always have something to share with others about our Savior.
Application:
God anoints you with His Spirit.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for giving us the Holy Spirit to help us fulfill our purpose on Earth, sharing the gospel with everyone. As we move through our days, help us tell others about what Jesus does for us daily. Keep us humble and teachable so we always have something to tell.
IJNIP. Amen
