HOW GOD ANOINTED JESUS OF NAZARETH

( Matt 28:27, Acts 10:38)

MEMORY VERSE: ".....God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power. (Acts 10:38a. KJV).

Although the question in Matthew 8:27, 'The men in the boat were amazed and said, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him.”'

might have been rhetorical, the Memory Verse answers it. Jesus of Nazareth as fondly called had three things that made his ministry not just successful but also distinguished him from all other men.

1• The Holy Spirit

2• Great Power

3• God's Presence.

Yes, Jesus was man but no ordinary man; He was the word made flesh to bring salvation to men. He was sure about His anointing, and He never failed to exercise His power rightly in all things. Whenever any other power tried to exalt it's self above God, whether via sickness, possession, etc Jesus showed his far greater. So it is with us: God has given us the Holy Spirit and power to do all things, especially that assignment He has committed to you.

the anointing makes the assignment easier. Also, the anointing is not for competition but for God's work. You may not be able to do what someone else can, but you surely can do what you are anointed for. Come to terms with this and avoid unnecessary strife, envy and jealousy.

The anointing abides within. People make the mistake of going to look for it somewhere, when it's right within them. The anointing teaches all things, yes even what we term secular skills, business and more.

Learn to stir up the anointing that is already within you. You stir it up by praying in the Holy Ghost, meditating on the Word of God to get correct understanding of it, having divine fellowship with God and other believers, worshiping God in spirit and truth; and by doing the will of God.

PRAYER: May I exercise the anointing in me. Amen.
