When You Become God’s Anointed
Hello, dear reader at the Prophetic Corner,
I hope that your new week is going well. Last week's Prophetic Corner message was about taking steps of faith and doing away with any hindrance to the move of God in our lives. You can read more about it here: https://adewaleonagbesan.substack.com/p/take-ye-away-the-stone. This new week is about becoming God’s anointed.
The Bible describes the anointed of God as a chosen and anointed king. Those who are God’s anointed are those who love righteousness and hate wickedness (Ps45:7). Before you can become His anointed, God must find you and that comes from the place of intense fellowship with God (Ps89:20) Know that the Lord can get angry towards His anointed (Ps89:38) and this may result in mockery, insult and reproach of the enemy (Ps89:51). As God’s anointed, the kings of the earth will rise, revolt, prepare for battle and the rulers will plot and take counsel together against you (Ps2:2) but you must always remember that God will never allow anyone to oppress you and do you wrong because He will reprove, rebuke and warn kings because of you by telling them not to touch and harm you (Ps105:14-15).
When you become the Lord’s anointed, He will give you great deliverance, victories, and triumphs. He will show you mercy, unfailing, constant, and steadfast love (Ps18:50). He will save you, give victory, and rescue you. He will hear and answer you from his holy heaven, heavenly sanctuary with the saving strength and victorious power of his right hand (Ps20:6). He will become your unyielding strength and the saving refuge, safe fortress, fortress, and stronghold of salvation to His anointed (Ps28:8). He will fill you with gladness, joy, and happiness (Ps45:7). He will become your shield, bless and show you favour (Ps84:9). He will ordain, prepare, set up a lamp for you which will preserve you and make you a light to the world (Ps132:17). He will exalt your horn, make you victorious and increase your strength (1Sam2:10).
As God’s anointed, you are expected to preach good tidings to the meek, bring and proclaim good news to the poor and afflicted (Isa61:1). The anointing of God in your life will cause you to know all things (1Jn2:20), teach you and make you abide in God (1Jn2:27). Sadly, like Eliab, a man can look anointed but the Lord has refused him because his heart is not right (1Sam16:6-7), unlike David who does not look good but the Lord chose him instead (1Sam16:12). To become God’s anointed, you must love righteousness and hate iniquity (Heb1:9) and like David, He will do things for your sake (1ki11:36, 15:4, 2Ch21:7). Jesus Christ is the anointed One whom God has highly exalted with a name which is above every name, and when you accept Him into your life, you also become anointed.
