LEADERSHIP AND ANOINTING
Memorise: Thou anointest my
head with oil; my cup runneth over. Psalm 23:5
Some people hide under the fact that they have been
previously anointed, and by this, pre-suppose that they do not need any further
anointing. The truth is that God gives extra anointing to these whom he wants
to give extra blessings and glory. Perhaps you have discovered that God has
ordained you to be great; you still need to wait for the anointing. The fact
that God has deposited the seed of greatness in your life does not mean that
you have arrived. You need the anointing to fulfil your vision and achieve your
destiny (2 Samuel 5:1-3). The new anointing that God is going to add to your
life is going to complete what He has started in your life. One of the reasons
why the anointing is so important is that whatever is anointed cannot be
reversed by the enemy.
From the scripture, we understand that David was
anointed not just once, or twice, but three times. Whenever God decides to
favour someone, and He decides to demonstrate this by anointing the person whom
He has chosen over and over again, His intention is to completely silence the
enemy and grant victory and blessings to His people. God gives extra anointing to those whom He wants to give extra
blessings and glory. The moment God anoints you, a decree goes out from His
throne room to back you up. All the negative forces of the universe are
commanded to steer clear of the anointed (Psalm 105:14-15)
“He suffered no
man to do them wrong: ye, he reproved kings for their sakes, Saying, Touch not
mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.”
Tragically, not all heads are ready to receive the
anointing. There were many children in the favoured family of Jesse, but only
one of them received the anointing. As a leader, you cannot decide to do
whatever you feel like doing and yet expect to receive God’s anointing. The
anointing of God is available for those who qualify for it. Are you one of
them? Each of the sons of Jesse was eager to receive the anointing, but all
their heads except that of David were rejected. May your head never refuse the
anointing in Jesus’ Name. The heads of the seven sons of Jesse must have
refused the anointing because God knew certain things about them, which
perhaps, no one knew. Are there things God knows about you which men do not
know? If they are negative things, you can be sure it will disqualify you when
it matters most.
Prayer Point
Father, I present my head for
your fresh anointing for greatness; anoint me till my cup runs over, in Jesus’
Name.
