DCLM Higher Everyday 7 December 2024 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Seek The Spirit’s Anointing
Topic: Seek The Spirit’s Anointing
Text: Isaiah 10:23-27
23For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land.
25For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.
26And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
27And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.
Key Verse: “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him” (Acts 10:38).
Message
Anointing is a divine enablement for supernatural exploits and achievements. Our text tells us the reality of having burdens on shoulders and yoke on necks (Isaiah 10:27). The shoulder is symbolic of strength and neck symbolic of support. Many youngsters and adults confront their burdens and yoke with human strength but the Bible clearly tells us in I Samuel 2:9 that, “For by strength shall no man prevail.” Physical strength does not always match the enemy’s fiery darts. For example, David did not defeat Goliath by his strength. Daniel was not ten times better by his strength. Samson did not defeat the philistines in his own strength. Esther did not win the beauty contest because of her beauty. Anointing provides the winning advantage to them. Are you tormented? Then it is time to seek genuine anointing.

The anointing comes when you are born again, consecrated and sanctified. Then you pray earnestly to be baptized in the Holy Ghost. The anointing makes you a no-nonsense zone to Satan and his cohorts. It makes us effective in evangelism, and prayers, and useful to humanity.
Quote: Seek genuine anointing
Challenge: Seek to be anointed with the Holy Ghost.
Prayer for today:O God, anoint me for exploits, in Jesus’ name.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
