« You love righteousness and hate wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions »
NKJV But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
CEV But Christ has blessed you with the Holy Spirit. Now the Spirit stays in you, and you don’t need any teachers. The Spirit is truthful and teaches you everything. So stay one in your heart with Christ, just as the Spirit has taught you to do.
Amplified As for you, the anointing [the special gift, the preparation] which you received from Him remains [permanently] in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But just as His anointing teaches you [giving you insight through the presence of the Holy Spirit] about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as His anointing has taught you, you must remain in Him [being rooted in Him, knit to Him].
GNT But as for you, Christ has poured out His Spirit on you. As long as His Spirit remains in you, you do not need anyone to teach you. For His Spirit teaches you about everything, and what He teaches is true, not false. Obey the Spirit’s teaching, then, and remain in union with Christ.
- Anointing can be described as divine electricity.
This description will help us understand how important anointing is.
- If a person is not pure, yet is anointed, the anointing will kill the individual, because if you mishandle electricity, you will be electrocuted.
Samson was highly anointed but spent time with harlots.
A man of God who commits adultery has set himself up for destruction.
In other words, the combination of anointing and sinfulness will produce a casualty while anointing with purity will produce great and long lasting results.
For example, Abraham’s anointing was that of prosperity Genesis 22:17-18 and it was transgenerational because he trained his children in the way of the Lord Genesis 18:19.
Abraham became great, his son became very great and his grandson Jacob became exceedingly great.
His great-grandson Joseph picked up the anointing and God used him mightily as well.
- Christians need anointing to execute their respective divine assignments.
You may have heard the story of two people who sang Psalm 23 – one a professional singer who sang beautifully and everybody clapped, the other, an old man who sang the same Psalm 23 and had everyone on their knees, worshipping God.
One sang professionally, the other with anointing and their results were different.
So if you are a chorister, you definitely need anointing.
Psalm 24:3-4 tells us the kind of people who can stand in God’s presence; so ushers also clearly need anointing.
Prayer warriors need anointing because Romans 8:26 says we pray with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Our Lord Jesus was anointed with the Holy Ghost before He started off His ministry Acts 10:38.
If the Lord did not perform a single miracle until the Holy Spirit came upon Him, surely you need anointing too.
Prayer focus – Father Lord, please let Your anointing flow into every aspect of my life, in Jesus’ name.
