THEME : THE ANOINTING SPEAKS
Memorise:
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and
ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing
teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as
it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. 1st John 2:27
Read: 1st Samuel 10:1-9
1 THEN Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and
kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD hath anointed
thee to be captain over his inheritance?
2 When thou art departed from me to day, then thou shalt find two
men by Rachel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and
they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are
found: and, lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and
sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
3 Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come
to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going
up to God to Beth-el, one carrying three kids, and another
carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of
wine:
4 And they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread;
which thou shalt receive of their hands.
5 After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the
garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou
art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of
prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a
tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall
prophesy:
6 And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt
prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
7 And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do
as occasion serve thee; for God is with thee.
8 And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will
come down unto thee, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice
sacrifices of peace offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry, till I
come to thee, and shew thee what thou shalt do.
9 And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from
Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to
pass that day.
Message
The anointing creates the opportunity for you to be entrusted
with God’s heritage. This great responsibility requires that you
have divine information and guidance to carry out the assignment.
As stated in our memory verse, the anointing speaks to or teaches
the anointed, providing him with divine information. If you have
the anointing, it will speak to you; it will tell you the truth.
If you say you are anointed but you cannot hear from God, your
anointing is very much in doubt. Based on 1st John 2:20, one way
you can know that you are anointed is by the divine information
released to you. The more the anointing on your life, the more you
should have access to divine information (Number 12:6-8). To what
extent does then anointing speak to you?
What does the anointing teach? If you closely look at Saul’s
experience. You will learn that the anointing reveals future
events to the anointed. After Saul was anointed by Samuel, the
latter told him of a series of events that he was going to
experience sequentially, and they happened accordingly.
Do you know that God loves speaking to you? God is looking for
those He can share certain vital information with before they
occur. No wonder Amos 3:7 says,
“Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret
unto his servants the prophets.”
Any information that is only accessible by God is God’s secret. The
anointing makes God share His secrets with His anointed. Do you
hear God’s voice? How often does He speak to you? Does He
confide in you concerning future events that will affect you or
members of your family?
As we speak, there are some people who are acquainted with divine
information of events that will occur in some 2,3,5 or 10 years’
time. May the Lord anoint you afresh and open to you the door of
communication, granting you access to knowledge of events long
before they happen.
When you know what will happen in the future, you will be guided
on how to handle your today and tomorrow.
Prayer point:
Father, make me sensitive to Your voice. Help me never to mistake
Your voice for that of any other person.
