Long for the anointing


Wikipedia defines anoint as: 

To anoint is to pour or smear with perfumed oil, milk, water, melted butter or other substances, a process employed ritually by many religions. People and things are anointed to symbolize the introduction of a sacramental or divine influence, a holy emanation, spirit, power or God.

As a Christian, and a follower of Christ,  I believe to be anointed is to be empowered by God for a divine purpose.

Saul was anointed for Kingship, and David acknowledged the anointing of God on Saul -           1 Samuel 24:6. Similarly, David was anointed by Samuel to succeed Saul. 1 Samuel 16:13

The anointing of God empowers us for the service of God, to break the heavy yoke the devil has placed on many lives, and to free the souls of men to serve God through the name of Jesus.
Isaiah 10:27  and  Acts 10:38

Jesus in Acts 1:4-5 asked the disciples to tarry in Jerusalem until they received the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. They obliged, and in Acts 2:1-4, they received God's anointing - a pouring of the Holy Spirit on their lives. They were set on fire for God, and this fire spread across all throughout the Book of Acts, bringing many to Salvation, healing and delivering many afflicted by the devil.

In order to be effective in God's Kingdom, you need God's power and supernatural ability to do the humanly impossible, and to affect other lives positively. Long for God's anointing. Ask for it and it shall be given to you.
