*CHARACTERISTICS NEEDED FOR THE ANOINTING TO ABIDE*

Every believer is anointed.

However, to function effectively in the Anointing, you must first have a clear revelation of it and understand how to stir it up within you.

The Anointing does not operate automatically; there are divine principles that govern its manifestation.

The anointed men of old—David, Samuel, Daniel, Joseph, and even our Lord Jesus—demonstrated specific characteristics that sustained the Anointing upon their lives.

God does not merely desire that you be anointed; He desires that you develop the character necessary for that Anointing to manifest and remain.

*Ezekiel 1:5–10, Rev 4:6–8*

The four living creatures symbolically reflect the four Gospels:
Matthew presents Jesus as the Lion.
Mark portrays Him as the Servant.
Luke reveals Him as the Son of Man.
John presents Him as the Son of God, without genealogy, because God has no genealogy.

Each creature expresses a dimension of Jesus Christ. In the same way, they reflect the characteristics of a truly anointed man or woman of God.

These beings operate in higher authority—beyond the twenty-four elders and distinct even from angels.

If you desire to walk in the fullness of the Anointing, you must cultivate the following characteristics:

*1. Submission to Those Ahead of You*

True Anointing flows through submission.

Elisha submitted himself to Elijah and served him faithfully.

Peter, despite differences in age, served Jesus.

In service, your will is refined and sometimes crushed. You may be instructed to do things beyond your preference, but it is in that process that character is formed.

Even in business, success requires learning submission -character development.

*1 Samuel 16:13*

David was anointed king, yet he learned submission in Saul’s house. Though anointed, he served.

God designed the Anointing to flow from one generation to another, but where there is no submission, there can be no transmission.

*Numbers 27:18–23*

Moses laid hands on Joshua and imparted wisdom to him.

Joshua was chosen because he was submissive.

The elders were not as submissive as Joshua.

Likewise, the centurion in Scripture was in authority because he himself was first under authority.

*2. Boldness to Stand on the Word*

An anointed believer must be bold enough to declare and stand firmly on God’s Word.

In *Luke 4:18,* Jesus boldly proclaimed the Scripture concerning Himself.

*1 Samuel 17:34–37*

David recounted his past victories over the lion and the bear before confronting Goliath; he stood on testimony.

Stand on the testimonies of the word!
Stand on the testimonies of others!
Use testimonies as weapons of warfare! Make war with the Word of God!

*3. The Spirit of Servitude*

Every truly anointed believer must carry the spirit of a servant.

*1 Samuel 18:5*

David went wherever Saul sent him. He obeyed diligently.

Because of his faithful service, Saul appointed him leader over the men of war.

The four living creatures possess great authority because they continually serve before God’s throne.

*Romans 1:1*

Paul introduced himself first as a servant before calling himself an apostle. He understood that authority flows from servitude.

Only those who embrace service will consistently operate in the Anointing.

*4. Waiting for God’s Timing*

Genuine Anointing requires patience.

When David was anointed king, Saul was still on the throne. David was anointed but without an office.

*1 Samuel 27:1*

David fled to the land of the Philistines while waiting for God’s timing.

King Saul was dethroned only at God's appointed time.

David had to remain patient.

Joseph waited seventeen years before becoming governor.

To grow in the Anointing, you must learn to be patient.

*5. A Teachable Spirit*

*2 Samuel 12:1–16*

When David sinned and was confronted by the prophet Nathan, he did not resist correction.

He acknowledged his sin, fasted, and sought God’s forgiveness.

A truly anointed person is teachable.

An unteachable spirit is the manifestation of pride.

*James 4:7*
We are called to submit to God.

*6. Walk in Love*

Above all, you must walk in love for the Anointing to abide.

If the Anointing rests upon a person without the proper character, it can destroy them.

Character sustains the Anointing.

Examine yourself. In whichever area you are lacking, ask the Lord to cleanse and strengthen you.

*MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU*

*THE ANOINTING OF GOD UPON THE LIFE OF THE BELIEVER*

Throughout the Bible, no one did anything significant without the anointing of God, and neither can you do anything for God without the anointing.

Look at the case of the builders of the tabernacle—they were anointed for the work.

*What is the anointing?*

The anointing is the power of the Holy Spirit that empowers God’s people to fulfill the will of God.

Every time God calls a person, He anoints them.

You can not fulfill God’s purpose for your life without the anointing.

The word unction or power also refers to the anointing.

You can be baptized in the Holy Ghost, yet the anointing may not be activated in your life.

*What is the importance of the anointing?*

*1 Kings 19:15–21*

In the Old Covenant, only kings, priests, and prophets were anointed, but in the New Covenant, every believer is to be anointed.

For Elisha to become a prophet, he needed to be anointed.

Elisha made great impact because he was anointed.

It is not just the depth of knowledge needed to preach; you must be anointed.

When you are anointed, certain things become easier.

For example, you may struggle to pray for one hour, but after some time, you can easily pray for three hours—the anointing has been activated.

As you win souls, teach them to pray and pray together with them.

You must build a prayer life.

*Judges 13:4–5*

Samson was anointed from his mother’s womb, and his mission was to deliver the children of Israel from the Philistines.

*Judges 14:1–19*

Samson told his father and mother about the woman he wanted to marry—be careful not to change God’s authority.

Train your children to honor their fathers first.

The Spirit of the Lord came upon Samson, and he killed a lion with his bare hands.

*Judges 15:13–15*

The Spirit of the Lord came upon Samson, and he killed a thousand men with the jawbone of a donkey.

Even as a businessman, you must be anointed.

Build an altar for the Lord in your shop.

*Judges 16:16–21*

Samson shared his secret with Delilah, and the anointing was lifted—be careful who you share your secrets with.

*Exodus 30:30–38*

You can not live in the flesh and operate in the anointing.

Take note that the anointing of God is holy unto the Lord.

*Luke 1:35*

Mary was anointed to conceive.

*Luke 4:14–18*

Jesus came in the power of the anointing.

Jesus knew that He was anointed.

He was anointed because He was the first begotten of the dead, and all others must be anointed.

For you to preach, you must be anointed.

*Acts 10:38*

God anointed Jesus Christ to do good—healing all.

The anointing of God upon your life is a sign that God is with you.

The most important thing after being born again is to be filled with the Spirit and filled with the Word of God.

When you are baptized in the Holy Ghost, you receive innate power, which must be activated.

*Luke 24:48–49*

You must be anointed or led by the Spirit to lay hands on anyone.

*Acts 1:8*

You are anointed when the Holy Ghost comes upon you.

You become a witness only after you receive power.

The anointing brings extra glory, grace, and favor into your life.

The anointing is a necessity; It is the might of the Spirit while the Holy Spirit is a person.

For the anointing to be activated in your life, you must first be born again, and then, you must desire the anointing.

Activate the anointing in your life today through your desires .

*MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU*

*THE MISSION*

A mission is a time bound assignment given to a person or group of persons.

People with a mission do not live, talk, or spend carelessly because everything they do is dedicated to fulfilling that mission.

For us to understand our mission as believers, we must first understand the primary reason why Jesus came.

*Luke 19:9-10*

Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost.

Jesus knew specifically what his assignment was.

Many believers think the primary reason for their salvation is because God wants them healed, prosperous, delivered, to have a good marriage...

These are not the primary reasons why Jesus came.

*1John 3:7-8*
*Math 28:18-19*
*Acts 1:8*

Jesus knew His mission. He knew he was sent to save that which was lost. He gave the same assignment to His disciples.

The power given to the church is for the church to be a witness.

To effectively win souls, prayer is essential. However, this should be based on your connectivity to the Holy Spirit, not just the number of hours you spend praying.

*1 Cor 9:16*

Apostle Paul also understood his mission. He declared that ...

*Woe be unto me if he preached not the gospel*

Your mission is to preach the gospel.

At your place of work, business, your family, neighborhood....Preach the gospel.

*Mark 16:15-16*

Preach the gospel to your world.
Some will believe some will not.

Those who do not believe will be condemned to hell.

So, preach the gospel this year.

Make sure you win at least a soul every quarter.

Pray for them until they are established.

Evangelism is warfare. Be wise and strategic as you go about to win souls.

*2 Cor 5:17-18*

God has given us the service of reconciliation.

Take your jobsite and your business place as your platform to preach.

As you take care of God's house by winning souls, God will also take care of your house (business or job).

The primary purpose for which you were saved was to preach the gospel.

*Eph 3:8*

If the grace to preach was given to Paul, who is the least, then you also have received the same grace.

Do not bribe people to become born again. They will not last

Preach to them, pray for them, and allow the Holy Spirit to do the rest.

*MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU*

*THE CHURCH; THE SOIL FOR CULTIVATING THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT*

*Heb 10:25*

The is the ground upon which the Lord has made available for us to grow in the fruit of the Spirit

In the days of old, every Israelite belonged to a tribe. Likewise, every believer must belong to a local church and be committed.

As we come together regularly, the light among us exposes the darkness among us.

So many believers absent from church because they do not want to be exposed.

*1John 1:1-8*

John emphasizes the importance of fellowship.

When you fellowship with your brothers and sisters in church, you are fellowshipping with the Father and The Son.

When you have this fellowship, your joy will be full.

If you say you have fellowship with God but do not go to church, you are telling a lie!

Going to church is very important in the life of a believer.

If we have fellowship with each other, we have deeper fellowship, knowledge, and intimacy with each other. It leads to us correcting ourselves, guiding ourselves, and The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin.

If you refuse to belong to a church, you are deceiving yourselves, and the truth is not in you.

As the year comes to an end, you must make up your mind to be a part of a local church.

As the coming of The Lord draws nearer, the world will continue to get darker, and one of the things that will keep you is your fellowship and commitment to a local church.

In that place of fellowship with other believers, your errors can easily be seen and corrected.

But if you are in the world, the world will instead applaud you.

*Eph 4:11-16*

God specifically puts in place the five fold ministerial positions to edify and perfect the saints.

When you stay away from church, the body of Christ is not fully joined together.

If a part of your body is cut off, it will die off if it is not quickly reattached back to the body.

This is what happens when you stay away from church.

If you remove one coal from a fire, that coal will become cold.

That is why it is important to belong to a local church.

*1 John 4:19-21*

It is in church that you can grow in the fruit of the spirit.

In a local church, you will be offended, hurt, grieved....

All these will teach you how to love, forgive, let go, grow in patience

*1Cor 13:1-8*

Read through these verses and see what love is.

When you belong to a local church, you are being pruned and shaped to become that image of love.

*MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU*

(TRIALS): THE GATEWAY INTO THE KINGDOM*

Every genuine believer must undergo trials and testing.

It is within the church that many believers will be tested.

Persecution serves as the gateway to the Kingdom.

*James 1:1-4, 12*

Allow patience to be perfected so that your character will not be found lacking.

This patience develops through trials and temptations.

To cultivate the fruit of the Spirit, you must experience trials.

*Verse 12*

You receive the crown of life when you endure trials.

Regardless of how much you pray and fast, you must be tested.

These trials come primarily from the church and your family—this is where your character is refined.

You must practice patience with one another in church, regardless of their weaknesses.

Consider Moses: he struck the rock instead of speaking to it because he grew impatient with the people.

God held Moses accountable, not the people.

The church is not a place of perfection but rather where we make mistakes and learn. It functions like a hospital.

Moses learned meekness through the hardships he endured.

You have been perfected in Christ's love at salvation, but to express that love, you must be tested.

We grow in love when we face situations that require us to show greater love than before.

You will encounter circumstances where you must choose to love, to be patient, to forgive...

Embrace trials so you can mature.

Do not waste your trials—they are stepping stones!

There is no sin you cannot forgive.

It requires making a conscious choice and recognizing that God is developing something within you.

The greater the trial or test, the greater your opportunity to enter the Kingdom.

*Acts 14:22*

Believers were encouraged that much tribulation is the pathway to the Kingdom.

Tribulations are troubles, trials, and sufferings.

Only the spiritually immature fail to recognize that tests are gateways to the Kingdom (opportunities for growth).

They will cause you pain.

As long as you desire maturity, you must embrace tribulations.

You must exercise self-control, even when you feel like exploding—this builds internal strength.

There is a difference between tribulation and temptation.

Tribulation comes from God, while temptation comes from the devil.

Tribulation is God's challenge to strengthen your character, reveal your faith, and promote your growth.

It leads to positive outcomes, though it is always painful.

Temptation is the devil's enticement to cause you to sin, arising from worldly desires and designed to cause spiritual harm.

*Hebrews 12:1-13*

Your trials will bring you humiliation.

Jesus could never have entered the Kingdom without enduring shame.

God builds humility through a series of shameful experiences.

You will enter the Kingdom through shame.

The prevalence of pride in the body of Christ exists because many have not embraced the trial of humiliation.

*Verse 5*
Every test is the Lord's method of disciplining you.

Do not defend yourself during trials!

Let the outcome vindicate you.

One hundred people might oppose you, but do not defend yourself.

Joseph did not defend himself!

Jesus did not defend himself!

*Verse 8*
The Lord's discipline proves that you are born again (His child).

You must not respond to every criticism.

Every trial is God refining you to develop your character.

During those times of correction, worship Him.

*2 Cor 2:14; Rom 8:28-30*

All of God's tests are beneficial, shaping our character for the greatness that awaits.

A grain of wheat must die to produce an abundant harvest through trials and
testing.

*MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU*
