PRICE FOR THE ANOINTING

SEED OF GRACE DAILY DEVOTIONAL WRITTEN BY PASTOR AND PASTOR (MRS.) JOHN AND VICTORIA DABBAS

TOPIC: PRICE FOR THE ANOINTING
SCRIPTURE: And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about | Luke 4:14
KEY THOUGHT: Discipline recipe for power

The most expensive commodity in the world today is not crude oil, neither is it not gold, it is the anointing. The anointing is the presence and power of God. It is not power to be stored up, it is power to be used. Bible says that “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him” (Acts 10:38). You see the anointing is for work. Today there is a lot of work to be done in our world, nation, and community with the anointing. So the anointing is needed now than ever. God is not using the anointing in heaven, it is meant for us here on earth. But why is it that men are not receiving the anointing? It is because men are not paying the price.
What is then the price to pay?
1. Fasting and prayer: The act of fasting in itself does not mean you will automatically have anointing. It is breaking the flesh to release the content of your spirit for God to handle. Fasting is capacity to discipline the flesh to gain the spirit. Fasting is reducing the value of the flesh to increase the worth of your spirit. Jesus did not just fast; He fasted in the spirit for 40 days and nights and returned with power.
2. Hunger and taste: God only feeds hungry souls. You are only fed to the level of your hunger for Him.
3. Follow Faithfully: The disciples where not anointed because the where with Jesus; but because they followed diligently and faithfully.
4. Kick sin out: God does not waste His power, Gods power on a sinner is power leak and can be destructive. Live a life of righteousness
5. Faith: Faith is the connection pipe to the supernatural. So to connect to the anointing you need to believe God is loading you with Himself.
ACTION POINT: Work with the points mentioned today.
PROPHETIC PRAYER: O Lord! I discipline myself to gain you in Jesus’ Name.
