Every born-again Christian is destined for exploits in life and the tool for that exploit is called the 'Anointing'. The anointing is the power behind the success and triumphant living that moves a 'Nobody' to somebody. It ends the person's struggle in critical areas of life as divine favour and mercy of God go ahead of the anointed.
If the anointing falls on a Baker, he will suddenly discover how to blend flour, sugar, honey, preservatives and flavours to make his bread unique and special. He may have struggled with several combinations in the past, but when the anointing comes upon him, it perfects his efforts and take away the struggle and launch him into a master baker, and his bread, a special loaf that will be demanded and enjoyed more people, big and small.
It
is the anointing that breaks the yoke off people's necks. In Isaiah 10:27, the bible says that it shall
come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from your shoulder,
and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed because of the
anointing.
This
anointing from the Almighty God enables the recipient to
excel in what he or she is doing. Ideas
of better ways to do the same thing are included, as insights on how others are
producing their own products and services, and what could be done to make the recipient's product better will also release to the person.
The
anointing does not just come on your because you are crying for it…NO. It comes when you have grown in faith and
life, to understand the value of grace and the responsibilities it places on
you. Though 'grace' may look like a gratuitous gift from God, there are
conditions that must be met, or rather things that God will see in your life
before such grace is released into your spirit.
1. One of such requirements is faithfulness before God and man. The Believer's purpose must be for the good of the people, to produce goods that are affordable and good. Products and services that will make the consumers happy after buying the service. Such a Christian will have these characteristics and more: 1.
2. Greed – You are
not a greedy man
3. You are
prepared to challenges – You have technical and managerial abilities
4.
You have
understood the business thoroughly
5.
You will serve humanity, making life easy for people with your product
You
need anointing to make the right choices and do things excellently. Anointing comes with excellent Spirit, wisdom
and know-how about the business you are presently doing. The anointing does not fall on you for you to
start the business. Instead, it falls on
you “on the Job”. It can be teaching,
preaching, manufacturing and producing something of value. You are already doing the business at one
level and knowledgeable to an extent about the business.
Even
when the anointing has fallen on you, it will not blossom until you have
learned how to make your customers happy with your product quality and
pricing. When people buy your product
and use it, are they happy and say within themselves…Thank God I bought this
product or service? If yes, the grace of
God on the producer is soon to blossom.
Nature
of Anointing
The
Bible says in Isaiah 10:27 that "It shall come to pass in that day, That
his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck,
and the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil". When the
anointing comes upon a mechanic, it makes him be a better mechanic, with
clear ideas of what to do to fix a car brought to him. If he lacks a particular skill required, he
will immediately get an assistant who understands that aspect of auto repairs,
so that when customers come to his Auto Workshop, their cars will be fixed with
ease, and they will be happy.
When
the anointing comes upon an Engineer, you will notice that such an Engineer will
speak and talk about his work in clear terms and with a deeper understanding. He begins to dream big dreams about
construction, and puts his big dreams on paper, waiting for an opportunity
to fulfil that dream.
Take
the case of KFC, known as Kentucky Fried Chicken founded by Colonel Harland
Sanders, an entrepreneur who began
selling fried chicken from his roadside restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky, during
the Great Depression. Sanders 'saw' or identified the potential of fried
chicken as a meal of its own that can compete with hamburgers and similar
foods.
Anointing
falls on you while 'on the job'
This
entrepreneur started selling fried chicken from a roadside restaurant before
the anointing came upon him. When the
anointing came, it came with an uncommon spices combination that made KFC
chicken unique throughout the world till this day, it also came with Franchising and other ideas on how to expand and
distribute the chicken meal, which Colonel Sander executed before he sold the
business.
When
the anointing came, his struggle at the roadside restaurant came to an end, his
middle-class life changed to first-class and eventually, he entered the
American history books. After MacDonald,
KFC is the world's second-largest restaurant chain.
Where
Does the Anointing Fall?
The
anointing falls on a person’s head, Hands and legs. Incidentally, it is these three places that
agents of darkness target when they raise curses against people. They will curse the head, hands and legs of
people, saying negative words against such a person.
The
Anointing falls on the head, which is the symbol of people’s glory, so that
creative ideas, a positive mindset and a clear I-can-do-it spirit will overwhelm
the person. That’s what they call divine
zeal, a strong spirit that no one can discourage from its purpose and goal. This is why it is almost impossible to
discourage people who are anointed with a vision. Instead of dropping their vision, they will
prefer to fall and rise, and even fall again and rise to stand strong.
The
anointing falls on the hands to quicken the person to learn and study the
business he is doing and seek to be an expert in it. That divine zeal will make him understand its technicalities, shortfalls and areas of possible improvement, which will add value to the product and services and bring joy to its consumers.
A
"Nobody' becomes somebody by His grace through the anointing. It starts with a vision of serving the people
with quality goods at fair and affordable prices. When service is at the heart of your venture,
you will go the extra mile where you will buy your materials cheaper, and
then produce goods that have quality and fair prices.
It
is this good intention and zeal that God comes to reward and to establish
a good purpose. Beloved, the anointing
to get wealth will not fall on the greedy entrepreneur because he will use the
ideas and expertise for his financial gain only. God is a rewarder of diligence, and good
intentions. In Deut 8:18, the bible says "But thou shall remember the Lord
thy God: For it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth.
The anointing to get wealth falls on people who are grateful, who will remember to give testimony of what God has done to them and give Him all the glory for it. It may not go to proud men, who will not remember to mention how God turned his/her life around when they were not expecting it.
There is a ‘turn-around’
that God does sometimes that is miraculous.
Someone brings an idea to you, and asks you to try it and…Boom, the
company is agog with the product. Call
and orders are coming from all the states and within a short period, your
wealth has doubled because of a product you introduced into the market.
This
power is from the Almighty God. The
Bible says in Acts 1:8, "But you shall receive power after that the Holy
Ghost comes upon you''. It is the presence of the Holy Ghost and His power that
turns the tide for you. You need the
Holy Ghost to be called the son/daughter of God, you need the Holy Ghost to
excel in business, career, marriage etc.
You need Him to excel in life and ministry.
How
to Encounter Him
If
you want to encounter this anointing, you have to be born again and embrace
holy and righteous living. Then ask the
Lord for the power to get wealth. Ask for wisdom and excellent Spirit.
Choose
a career, profession, vocation or Trade, get some training or apprenticeship or
acquire relevant skills about the business and start the business. Continue in the business and gain deeper
insight into the trade, opportunities and threats associated with the
business.
Pray
to God and ask for the anointing to excel in the business. Pray again, asking for the power to get
wealth. When it comes, you will know -
because it will open your understanding and the rest will be history.
Management
Tip for Success
Here
are some timeless management tips that propelled Warren Buffet's success, and
trust me, if you can take them to heart, they will also propel your own success
in this year and beyond.
1. Never lose money.
Making
money is great, but keeping money or retaining money is greater! What he is
saying is that ‘Never forget Rule no.1’ is that while making money is the
key to business, keeping money is the key to owning a very successful business.
2.
It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you
think about that, you’ll do things differently.
Always remember to think about what you’re going to say before you say
something that you might regret later in life. Your reputation is everything.
Don't forget that...
3.
It’s better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose
behaviour is better than yours and you’ll drift in that direction. Spend time with people who have a positive
outlook on both life and the business world and that positivity will transfer
to you. Spend time with people who have a constantly negative outlook and
you’re setting yourself up for some dark times ahead.
4.
Risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing. If you want to eliminate risk
then you better know the ins and outs of your business. If you find yourself
twiddling your thumbs then start reading up on your chosen sector. You never
know what you might learn.
5.
Admit mistakes and move on.
6.
Understand the power of humour.
CONCLUSION
Friends, Jesus is coming back soon. If you have not known Him, I plead with you to surrender your heart and troubles to Him now. It is a prayer that should come from your heart.
You
have to confess your sins to God in prayer and ask for His forgiveness, believing
He has forgiven you. Then ask Jesus to
come into your heart, and be your Lord and Saviour. Believe the Lord has also accepted your
request and His Spirit is already inside your heart.
If
you said that prayer from your heart, know for sure that you are BORN AGAIN, a
new baby in Christ. You have also
received the gift of the Holy Spirit and the power to be the son or daughter of
God.
Congratulations,
you're born again!
