Acts 10:38(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).
Matthew 24:45(Who then is a faithful
and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give
them meat in due season? 46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he
cometh shall find so doing. 47 Verily I say unto you, that he shall make him
ruler over all his goods. 48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his
heart, My lord delay his coming;49 And shall begin to smite his fellow
servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 50 The lord of that servant
shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not
aware of).
Every good and perfect gift is from God
and they are for our profiting (James 1:17, 1 Corinthians 12:7). God
does not have a problem empowering us; but what we do with the power concerns
him. We need to prove to him over and over again that we can handle the power
we seek from him. Many have disappointed him with the power he gave them.
Empowerment is in levels and categories; it depends on the level you are now
and the area you want to be empowered. Some need financial empowerment; while
some need career or ministerial empowerment but in whichever area of your
endeavor you need power it is for profiting. Jesus said to his disciples
several times that to earn a seat in heaven that they need to serve others;
that he came to serve not be served (Luke 22:25-29). Every one of us
needs to meditate on this particular statement if we really want to be
enthroned. He did not come to dominate; he came to lead and draw us to God.
Many use their position as leader to oppress those who they are meant to serve.
In this kingdom leadership is an election of grace; so whatever gift God gives
to you is to serve his people. Don’t think he is going away, he said the
kingdom of God is within you. When he empowers Jesus he was with him confirming
his word with a sign following because Jesus was doing the right things and
that earned him a crown in heaven. The reason why there are so many prophecies
without manifestations; is because the owner of the anointing has withdrawn its
potency. Imagine a prophet whose vision is only to the rich meanwhile Jesus
said he came for the poor; not for them to remain poor but to give them the
word that will help them out of their predicament. Psalm 113:7(He raiseth up
the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; 8 That he
may set him princes even with the princes of his people). The healing
anointing is to heal the sick and not to be kept by you. The money that God
gave you is to help others who are in need and also to advance his kingdom.
Joseph was concerned about the sad countenance of the two other prisoners he
was serving in the prison and he interpreted their dreams and God used one of
them to change his level. The same way God gave Joseph a gift of interpretation
of dreams and hospitality; he has given you something too but whatever you
decide to do with yours will determine your advancement in life (Genesis
40-42). Joseph’s gift makes a way for him, yours shall make a way for you
in Jesus name (Proverb 18:16). The good and faithful servant gave his
colleagues food in due season which means there is time appointed for every
assignment. If you are meant to preach or counsel someone at a particular time
and you delay in doing that; the wrong teacher and counselor may get to her
before you and that will not go well with the father. It is our father’s will
for all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of him. Friends, please be
diligent and faithful in your assignment and watch God give you more cities to
occupy till he returns. The poor were lifted up because they looked up to him
and every good and perfect gift comes from above. I don’t know where you are
looking at right now but it is time to change direction and look at him who
comes from above and his name is Jesus. Jesus is waiting for you, to lift
you up in case you have not accepted him; please do it now and be blessed.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a
sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your
precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord
Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
