Acts 1:8, John 1:12, Acts 19:2-4, 11-12, Mark 9:23, Acts 10:43, Romans 3:26

Men and brethren, Jesus came to save you, to heal you and to deliver you. The devil has held mankind in a terrible oppressive manner. Satan takes delight in afflicting us; he wants to see us crawl and beg for food; he wants us to be poor and hopelessly poor, but Jesus came that you may be set free from every form of destruction. Today devotion is to inspire you and let you know that you are anointed for a purpose. The scripture affirmed and confirmed that the provoker of the anointing is the Holy Spirit. “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8. Let me quickly declare that every affliction around you; every pain, every ailment, every sickness is of the devil; and poverty is of the devil. In the Garden of Eden there was no poverty there; Adam had everything he wanted until sin came. May God grant you the head of every Goliath. 

Jesus said but you shall receive power; reiterating what he said in John 1:12 “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name” It does not matter your parentage, or your education or where you have come from; he says I will give you power; Power to operate as a child of God. Somebody declare, I receive POWER

What is Power? Power is control. And control is to know that which ought to be in your life, compare it with that which obtains, and demand that, that which ought to be must be.

Life is a kingdom of choices; you have a right to say to sickness, enough is enough. You must hate your sickness, hate your failure; stop giving excuses for your problems. It is a pity that we are the greatest inventors of excuses and yet we have no excuse for been full of excuses. A man of excuse is a man of failure.

Jesus said you will receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost and you will receive Power in addition. Power to confront what confronts you, Power to choose what you will become.

Daddy Uma Ukpai said ” I have gone through most of the things some of you go through. There was a time my two children were crippled and my mother had to ask me how I can be a preacher and have a crippled child? I replied her saying ‘mother, that you are born again is not an exemption from the problems of life’ if there is anybody that satan must hate, it is us. I have gone to the homes of men who threatened to kill me; and say to them did I hear you want to kill Uma, hear I am’ and some of them will asked me If I am the real Uma. God has a great destiny for you but you need His anointing to realise that destiny” Hear me, some of you will need a more profound encounter with the Holy Spirit of God which we called ‘the Anointing’.

There are levels of encounter with the Holy Ghost Acts 19:2-4, 11-12. Have you received the HolyGhost since you believe? Unfortunately in our generation the baptism of the Holy Spirit is played down in many churches; it is no longer a big thing. Men and brethren, our enemy is not a small boy; our enemy is powerful and God wants us to be powerful also, that we will not meet our enemy from a position of weakness; we must be able to fight back. Therefore, if the enemy pushes you down you must bounce back; if he pushes you 10 times, you can bounced back 13 times; and say to the enemy, you are made of the Holy Ghost rubber.

Paul asked the believers in Samaria the question because after you must have given your life to Christ; there is another encounter you must have with the Holy Spirit. God must empower you to fight the battles of your life because the battles you fight are determined by the family you come from. We don’t fight the same battle; but whatever the battle waiting for you, you must appear as a soldier waiting and ready to win.

Hear me, you grow by the problems you solve. I see people looking and asking for sympathy; you don’t need sympathy, you need a miracle; therefore don’t go about attending pity-party because we know your greatness by what it takes to discourage you. There is no battle that you have ever fought and that God allows you to fight without believing you win in that race. The bible has already declared that to him that believeth all things are possible. Mark 9:23. Acts 10:43, Romans 3:26. To him that believes in the awesomeness of this great God; to him that believes that our God is faithful and dependable and reliable; to him that believes that the voice of God is the same as the word of God and the word of God is the same as God himself; to him that believes that God is everywhere; I want to declare that you are not alone, there are Angels of God by your side and the Spirit of God by your side. I declare you victorious

Your problem is not your problem; your problem is your ignorance of the ability and the availability and the limitless boundless possibilities of our God. You can ask God to let you know His Power; things can turn around for good in your life. We need to be empowered to fight the battles of life because the road to success is always under construction.

Paul laid his hands on them because the Power of God is released through the ministry of laying hands and spoken word and they began to speak in tongues with additional gifts of Prophesy. Right where you are, God can grant you in addition a more profound encounter which we called the Anointing.

That brings us back on the subject of today’s devotion. What is the Anointing? Anointing is enabling power of God that makes a man perform beyond his training and education and ability. It is the peculiar concentrated presence of God in a man that makes the unusual becomes the usual. God can place his Spirit upon you in a way that you can do things beyond your ability, beyond your training, beyond even your imagination. Our Awesomely Awesome God can help you rise to where you ever thought you could reach. Anointing will make you to know beyond the ordinary, see beyond the seen and see beyond the visible, and see beyond the natural. The anointing from this commission will break every yoke in your life even today. 

Not only do you need an Anointing today but to ask God to help you live in the consciousness of the ability of God. The anointing should not always come to you like something strange; you should be able to say to the sick, be healed; when people mock you, you can respond like a woman and man of faith and exploit.

Not every engineer is successful and not every businessman understands the arithmetic of business but when the anointing shall come upon your life; it will give you speed while others are crawling because ‘Anointing’ is the divine enabling power that makes an ordinary man do extraordinary things. The anointing declares and announces your lasting exploits and makes you a commander in your own area of specialization. Therefore, heaven has declared you a candidate of miracle.
