UNDERSTANDING YOUR SPECIAL ANOINTING

 YOUR SPECIAL ANOINTING

There's a thing known as your special anointing. If you're anointed with a specific mandate to fulfill, you'll have this anointing reside permanently in your call. However, it is not a permanent anointing. It is not permanent in that, it goes and comes. 

When you're ministering, this special anointing can announce itself as an interrupter. Ask teachers who are also healers or prophets. When they're at work and the mercy/willingness of God or the faith of a fellow in the congregation is placing strong demand or obligation on God to meet their needs, God by His Spirit will visit the minister ministering. 

Immediately, he'll have awareness that the Spirit of ease has come. He knows by experience that he must stop the ongoing ministration to administer that anointing right away, there and then. This anointing is like the food you buy in disposables. After eating it, you do away with the disposable. In like manner, once you minister to what you know by interpretation the anointing that has just descended on you should be used for, it lifts. You will always know when it comes and when it's to leave.

When it comes on some ministers, they become unusually heavy as if they're wearing on them a coat of mail. Some will be feeling wet. Some will feel warm. The palm of some especially healers will look as if it has been set ablaze. They may even be receiving a liking to lay hands on people. At times, it may be promptings to speak only for those who are speakers. 

That's the effect of that special anointing. It is strong and it always announces itself. All ministers are anointed but each minister has an anointing for special capabilities. That's not common. 

I know an elderly minister who's very much respected in Nigeria and beyond. When he's teaching, he will pause often: at very irregular intervals to hand out prophecies. Do you know why? God is showing him things. That anointing for ministration is at work. After such revelation, he can proclaim by decreeing or administering the anointing by contact (which is very rare for him to do) because of the millions he ministers to. Many times, I've only watched him speak into people's lives to address their situations or say what God is doing. At that very hour he decrees, don't doubt God, what he said God said he should announce is either concluded or ongoing. Testimonies or hard copy is what you should request for if you so desire proofs.

Ministers, this anointing is your leverage. Don't let it shy away from showing often when you minister. Don't grieve the Spirit or else He'll fold His arms in your life. So, always have the attitude and spirit-posture that will make it readily available. Fast, pray, maintain holiness and be sensitive. To upcoming ministers, you will learn the outworking as you grow and learn better to yield to the Holy Spirit at this dimension. There should be nothing you're doing that should be too exalted to drop once it comes. 

Don't worry however if you're ministering and the anointing doesn't show up all the time. Minister by faith then and you can still get the job done. But if this bulldozing anointing visits, quickly ride on his back and do whatsoever with it as soon as it tarries. This anointing is like the dew that disappears as the sun sets out. It's like manna that melts when the sun comes out also. So, you can't be careless with it or else your congregation will remain needy and go home unattended to. For yokes to be broken big time, you must heed this anointing.

Did anyone exhibit this in the Bible? Yes. Samson. Just let's dwell on him only. Read Judges and dwell on Samson's entire life. You'll observe a pattern by which God visits him. What I'm describing fits that pattern. 

You'll see that that anointing always hits him when it's time for ministration. Until the eleventh hour or to twelve, the anointing won't surface. Read all these passages to see how it happens often to him.

Judges 14:5-6, KJV

"5 Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him. 6 And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done."

Judges 15:14, KJV

"And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands."

Look at these two instances, the anointing - that special anointing didn't descend on him until the need or thing to evacuate was at hand. At times, it comes unannounced but you should know that your Parakletos is here for your aiding. Samson knew whenever it arrives. 

The special anointing I talk about is like that. For some ministers, they have it to eject demons. If the anointing should come around like this, they won't have to be shouting and persist in "go out. I said, go out." It will be as soon as they hear of me, foreigners cringe before me. They all lose heart, coming out of their hiding places. 

So, today, this is an explanation coming to your way as a minister. Take heed to it and stop wasting this anointing whenever it comes. 

May you experience God in a new dimension to counteract the devil's oppressive works in people's lives.
