« NLT But someone who does not know, and then does something wrong, will be punished only lightly. When someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required »
« CEV But servants who don’t know what their master wants them to do will not be beaten so hard for doing wrong. If God has been generous with you, He will expect you to serve Him well. But if He has been more than generous, He will expect you to serve Him even better »
31 And He said to them, “Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.
32 So they departed to a deserted place in the boat by themselves.
33 But the multitudes saw them departing, and many knew Him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived before them and came together to Him.
34 And Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. So He began to teach them many things.
- In continuation of my discussion from yesterday, one of the challenges of being anointed is that anointed people are perceived to be stronger than they really are.
Because they pray and God answers immediately, people think that they don’t need prayers themselves.
Also, because they lay hands on the sick and the sick get healed, people think that they are superhuman and can never be weak or tired.
Because they preach and souls get saved, there is a tendency to think that they never get tempted, whereas,
- they probably face temptations more than other people.
Moses made just one mistake in 40 years of leading the Israelites, but God said he would not get to the promised land.
He had been interceding for Israel whenever they did terrible things, and God had been forgiving them.
Now, in his own case, there was nobody to plead for him.
Do you want to be heavily anointed ?
Be ready to work endlessly.
When I discovered that the Bible says that we should earnestly covet spiritual gifts, I was happy. I asked for double the anointing on Elisha, Peter, Paul and Jesus Christ when He was on the earth and then asked that all should be combined and doubled again. God warned me then that I was asking for a dangerous thing because people would not let me rest.
When people see that you are anointed, they will bring all their problems to you. Even after you minister to them from the altar, they will still want to see you personally. You cannot send them away because the purpose of the anointing is to serve. When I employed a personal assistant, and he asked, “What are our work hours?” I said, “We start the day at 5am and only God knows when we will close.” This is why raising other people who will also become anointed is necessary. RCCG is in over 190 nations in the world. How will I cope if every member comes to me with their problems? This is why each local assembly has anointed pastors that can pray for the members; only the cases they can’t handle come to me. God has also made things easier by making it possible for me to pray from the altar and anoint handkerchiefs which are used to perform the miracles that people would have called the General Overseer to pray about in the past.
A lot of responsibilities and challenges come with being anointed, so if you desire to be anointed, you should be ready to embrace them.
Application – The anointing comes with challenges and responsibilities.
Author – Bishop Enoch Adejare Adeboye; General Overseer of the RCCG
