Daily Devotion: Anointed To Reign
And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle,”and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon. 1 Kings 1″:39
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When Heaven announces you,”it is better than the publicity of any public relations organization in the world.
The anointing of God is key to reigning in life; the anointing is key to the throne. Solomon was an example of persons who were lifted to the throne by the anointing.
Solomon was the son of Beersheba, originally the wife of Uriah the Hittite who had an immoral affair with King David. Solomon grew up in an atmosphere of hostility and rejection. No one thought he would be a king. Despite the rejection, God lifted him to the throne by the anointing.
Now, how does the anointing make a person to reign in life?
1. The anointing is a lift that pulls people up.
The anointing moves you from where you are to where God has created for you. When the anointing comes upon you, you get ushered into a realm that is beyond your wisdom, talent and education.
2. The anointing secures your position against opposition.
Every position that is influential must be contestable. And the anointing secures your position against your opposition.
3. The anointing moves you beyond personal limitations and shortcomings to fulfil your destiny.
The anointing moves you from limitations of your history, limitations of lack of ability or talent, etc. to the place of possibilities.
4. The anointing empowers human potentials.
When the anointing comes upon you, your potentials are both unveiled and enhanced.
5. To be anointed is to be announced.
When Heaven announces you, it is better than the publicity of any public relations organization in the world. For thirty years, no one heard the Voice of Jesus, but when the anointing came upon Him, He manifested the power to raise the dead, heal the sick, the blind and the lame.
Beloved, determine to pay the price to get the anointing of God.
