Dominate by the Anointing

[Acts 10:38 KJV] “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”.

We know that we are called and graced to preach the gospel to the nations. We are called and graced and sent to preach the gospel, cast out devils, heal the sick, cleanse lepers, and raise the dead. This involves travelling, preaching the word, starting local church meetings, ordaining elders, and confirming the souls of men. We can carry out this mandate if we begin to dominate by the anointing.

Matthew 14:10-36¹, we learn five secrets from the life of the Lord on how to dominate by the anointing. We learn that when the Lord Jesus Christ heard that John Baptist had been beheaded and buried by his disciples, He departed from the city and went into the wilderness but the crowd followed and He ministered to them. If you read the story carefully you will learn that to dominate by the anointing as the Lord did, you must;

Be a self-starter:

There are times when you must know what to do. You may not always have someone to tell you what to do. You must be a self-starter.

Walk in wisdom:

When the Lord heard that John the Baptist had been beheaded, He left the city and went into the wilderness. You must have the wisdom move away from danger. You must discern what must be done at any point in time. The anointing is for impact and not for decoration. May the Lord release upon us great grace and wisdom to win!

Be people oriented:

As the saying goes, “live for yourslef and you will live in vain, but live for others and you will in their hearts forever. Our Lord Jesus Christ was a man of the people. When He saw the people, He was moved with compassion. He served them with compassion, empathy, and consideration. You will have domnion when you are people oriented. You will rule when you seek to serve people rather than looking for people to serve you.

Be spiritually conscious in preparation but don’t be superstitious:

You don’t need a prophet to tell you something is working against you; there is a thief out there. There is an adversary out there, there are wicked and unreasonable men out there. The Lord spent hours alone in the mountains and when He stepped out, He dominated even the storms. Even though those who rule prepare constantly, you must still be spiritually conscious. Be in prayer and continue in prayer.

Always be there to lend a helping hand:

There are times when people around you get hit by a storm; if they do, don’t push them down further, but stretch out and help them immediately. Do not withhold good from them that it is due when it is in your power to do so. Lend a helping hand. Job was in charge because he was the eyes to the blind, ears to the deaf, mouth to the dumb, and limbs to the lame. The blessing of them that were ready to perish was upon him (See Job 29).

Hallelujah!

Be blessed; I love you

1. Matthew 14:10-36 (KJV): And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother. And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus. When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities. And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. He said, Bring them hither to me. And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children. And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret. And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased; And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole. ↩︎
