WE need to quickly come to terms with the fact that the anointing we carry is very attractive. Over time we do not see it because it is something we get used to having. It’s like having a car, clothes or a phone. With time it becomes something normal to you.
But for a minute, think about all the things that you bought and how excited you were over them. That is the same with the anointing you carry. Because you are so used to having it, it feels normal to you and you don’t feel special or different because of it, but trust me, you are different.
The anointing on you attracts vision helpers. Naturally you get help without much effort. People favour you, sometimes things that others have to fast and pray for come with very little effort. It is the anointing of God that causes that.
Matthew 25:35-40
“35: For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36: I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. 37: Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38: When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39: When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ 40: The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.”
It is wise for you to always be on the lookout for vision helpers in your life. People God has personally assigned to help you achieve your vision.
Some may not seem like much help, but you will see their need in the future. For example a praying friend. That friend may seem like someone obsessed with doing worthless things, but prayer changes things and a praying friend is worth having in your corner.
The anointing you have attracts trouble. The moment you receive Christ, you wage war with the devil. So the anointing attracts trouble. A lot of Christians do not want to be told this, but it is true and we should be ready for fight for our salvation.
Job 1:13-20
“13: One day when Job’s sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house, 14: a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing nearby, 15: and the Sabeans attacked and carried them off.
They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!” 16: While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “The fire of God fell from the sky and burned up the sheep and the servants, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!” 17: While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three raiding parties and swept down on your camels and carried them off.
They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!” 18: While he was still speaking, yet another messenger came and said, “Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house, 19: when suddenly a mighty wind swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house.
It collapsed on them and they are dead, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
Job’s problems where almost like a bad dream, while one is telling him one problem, someone comes up with another. Before he finishes explaining it, another servant come to tell him yet another.
The anointing attracts the devil’s attention to you because you are dangerous to him, but one who does not know Christ is not in any way a threat to the devil. But God is our refuge, he protects us from the devil and his schemes.
The anointing attracts respect.
When you go to meetings, people naturally respect you. When some are shouted at, you are shown respect and told things politely.
All this is the anointing God has placed over your life.
