God's Anointing is NOT For Sale!
Gods Anointing is NOT for sale…
He can NOT be BOUGHT…
HIS Gifts can NOT be PURCHASED and DISPENSED like candy…
In tears over this one…this is a hard one to write & post…this is NOT a condemnation or judgement…BUT it is from my Lord…
10 To whom can I speak and give warning? Who will listen to me? Their ears are closed so they cannot hear. The word of the Lord is offensive to them; they find no pleasure in it. 11 But I am full of the wrath of the Lord, and I cannot hold it in. “Pour it out on the children in the street and on the young men gathered together; both husband and wife will be caught in it, and the old, those weighed down with years.
(Jeremiah 6:10-11)
13 “From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit. 14 They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. ‘Peace, peace,’ they say, when there is no peace. 15 Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when I punish them,” says the Lord.
(Jeremiah 6:13-15)
8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons.
FREELY you have received; FREELY give.
(Matthew 10:8 NIV)
To those in ministry…the Lord takes the cry of His people, the ones His Father GAVE to HIM, VERY SERIOUSLY…
If you call yourself Apostle, Preacher, blah, blah, blah by HIS NAME…
And you are not doing unto HIS PEOPLE as if your are doing UNTO HIM…yikes!!
How many times did we hear Jesus introducing His disciples by ANYTHING other than their name???
Don’t get me wrong, I do HONOR the GIFT of the offices and anointing that others walk in…and I DO Honor my elders whom have walked in & impart Wisdom & Knowledge to our younger generations…it is greatly needed and it is Biblical to do so…
but offices & anointings do NOT place you on a pedestal above the rest. It’s NOT a BARGAINING CHIP…it’s not a MARKETING scheme for your next gig…
We can NOT DO ANYTHING to EARN HIS ANOINTING!
Apart from Him, we can do NOTHING!! The anointing is HIS!
(5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. (John 15:5))
Our job is to FOCUS on HIS PEOPLE.
NOT the OFFICE He anointed us in…ITS HIS OFFICE…we only get to walk in it…by His GRACE. Our job is to steward the GIFTS that He FREELY GAVE by submitting them back to Him in Humbleness…when we do THAT, He anoints it and uses it through us to assist HIS body, HIS people, HIS Bride…
The bigger the gift & anointing, the lower we should bow…
(”just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many [paying the price to set them free from the penalty of sin].”“
(Matthew 20:28)
Jesus came to SERVE.
Some need to surrender their title/office at the altar…surrender it…if we could be focused on the title, BRIDE, instead of an office title…we might just shake the Heavens!
It’s time to break the spirit of prostitution off of Gods GIFTED and ANOINTED.
It’s time to give Humbled HONOR where it’s due & where the Holy Spirit guides…
It’s time to cleanse ourselves of putting a price tag on what GOD deemed FREE…
It’s time to remember Gods children.
It’s time to lay ourselves DOWN…
”No one has greater love [nor stronger commitment] than to lay down his own life for his friends.“
John 15:13 AMP
Friends, my heart BREAKS at the thought of the One who loves me (and you) the most, being taken advantage of. Being tossed around like a piece of meat…The gift GIVER. The LOVER of our souls. The ONE who is I AM. The One who was PIERCED for our freedom…
I encourage you, whether in ministry or not, to take the time to be humble and seek His face. Ask Him to reveal where we have not stewarded His gifts well…repent and seek forgiveness of taking Him & His kindness for granted…
He is Faithful to REDEEM!
His anointing will SPEAK for itself by the FRUIT it produces…no advertising needed.
His anointing will flow through your OBEDIENCE and OBEDIENCE starts by FOLLOWING His WORD…
Don’t lose it ALL to gain the world (and a dollar)…in the end, the dollar will burn to ash…
I long to see you succeed in your missions. To bring the Kingdom of Heaven to earth…
United in Humility…we can do that very thing…
FREELY.
