THEME: THE ANOINTING CAN BE DANGEROUS


MEMORISE: Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

Psalm 105:15


READ: 2 Kings 1:9-12  


9 Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill.  And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down.


10 And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.


11 Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.


12 And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.


MESSAGE

When the anointing is handled positively, its effects are similar with handling electricity positively. When electricity is handled

properly, it can produce light and heat just like with the microwave, but when handled carelessly, it can destroy. When handled the right way, the anointing can destroy yokes, according to Isaiah 10:27. However, when it is handled wrongly, it can kill. If a fellow messes around with electricity, he or she will get roasted.


In 2 Kings 1:9-12, a king sent some soldiers to arrest Elijah, and the captain met the man of God sitting on a hill. The captain ordered, "Man of God, come down." Elijah answered, "So you know l'm a man of God, and you are talking to me like that? Roast!" Immediately, fire came down from heaven and burnt the captain and his soldiers. When the king waited, and those 51 soldiers didn't come back, he sent another 50 soldiers with their

captain. When the captain got there, he saw ashes on the floor. Speaking to Elijah, he was even more rude and said, "Man of God, come down quickly." Again, Elijah roasted them. When people disdain the anointing, it may them their lives.


Years ago, when the military was ruling in Nigeria, the then-military head of state wanted to become a democratic ruler. His spiritual advisers told him that what he wanted to do would not succeed because of a man called Adeboye, who was always praying for the country in the Redemption Camp (now Redemption City). I was in the camp when one of my children who was privileged to hear the information came and said, "Daddy, you have to travel quickly, they are coming for you." Although l am anointed, I was troubled. Fortunately, my wife wasn't there when the message was delivered. Later that night, I

told her that I wanted to go and pray. While I was praying, God spoke. He said, "Don't worry about him, I have taken care of the situation." Though it was the month of June, God told me to tell people to wish each other a happy new year during the Holy Ghost service. The Holy Ghost service held on a Friday, and by Sunday, the military dictator had been removed permanently.


Don't joke with the anointing. One of the biggest mistakes we make as Christians is that we tend to get too familiar with the anointing. When people find an anointed man of God who is humble, there is a tendency to get overfamiliar with him, and this can be dangerous.


KEY POINT

Never get too familiar with the anointing.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Samuel 20-22


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 1: ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS NAME


1 All hail the power of Jesus' name!

Let angels prostrate fall.

Bring forth the royal diadem,

and crown him Lord of all.

Bring forth the royal diadem,

and crown him Lord of all!


2 O seed of Israel's chosen race

now ransomed from the fall,

hail him who saves you by his grace,

and crown him Lord of all.

Hail him who saves you by his grace,

and crown him Lord of all!


3 Let every tongue and every tribe

responsive to his call,

to him all majesty ascribe,

and crown him Lord of all.

To him all majesty ascribe,

and crown him Lord of all!


4 Oh, that with all the sacred throng

we at his feet may fall!

We'll join the everlasting song

and crown him Lord of all.

We'll join the everlasting song

and crown him Lord of all.

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: FRIDAY APRIL 5TH, 2024.


THEME: WHAT DOES THE ANOINTING DO?


MEMORISE: 

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


READ: Judges 15:10-16 

10 And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us.


11 Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what is this that thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.


12 And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.


13 And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee.  And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.


14 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.


15 And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.


16 And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.


MESSAGE

An electric iron is really just a piece of iron until it is connected to electricity, When you connect an electric iron to electricity, it becomes something you can smoothen your rough clothes with. A television is basically a screen with some components and wires attached to it. When there is no electricity, it is just there,

capable of nothing. However, the moment you connect it to electricity, you will be able to see what is happening in another part of the world in real time. This is how the anointing works, it changes the ordinary to the extraordinary.


In Judges 15:14-15, when they brought Samson before the

Philistines, and they began to rejoice, the Bible says that the Spirit of God came mightily upon him and the ropes binding him were burnt as with fire. Then, he grabbed the jawbone of a dead ass, and as soon as the jawbone came in contact with the anointing, it became a weapon of mass destruction. The anointing turns the ordinary into the extraordinary.


Electricity, in its raw form, is like fire. You may not see it that way because it is controlled before it is passed into your house. In the same vein, the anointing is fire. When the Holy Ghost fell on the people at the upper room, they could see cloven tongues of fire on each person's head. The difference between a bicycle and a motorcycle is fire. You can ride up to 100 kilometres on a bicycle using your physical strength, but by the time you are done, they may need to pour water on you. However, if you are on a motorcycle, you will cover the same distance in less time and without stress. That is what the anointing does. When you see a man working like ten men put together, and instead of getting tired, he remains fresh, the anointing is the difference. So, whenever you are anointed, what you are receiving is the firepower to achieve things that are beyond your normal capacity.


The anointing is not only for pastors. An anointed doctor will successfully handle medical cases that other doctors cannot handle. An anointed businessman will achieve greater feats than his normal capacity can achieve. When the anointing comes upon you, you  are empowered to do more than you can ever imagine. For example, the anointing made Elijah to outrun Ahab's chariot (1 Kings 18:46).


Beloved, I encourage you to seek God's anointing; it will gives you tremendous speed and turn your life around for good.


KEY POINT

When the anointing comes on you, you become extraordinary.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Samuel 17-19


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 15: PASS ME NOT O GENTLE SAVIOUR 


1 Pass me not, O gentle Savior,

Hear my humble cry,

While on others Thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.


Refrain:

Savior, Savior,

Hear my humble cry;

While on others Thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.


2 Let me at a throne of mercy

Find a sweet relief;

Kneeling there in deep contrition,

Help my unbelief.


3 Trusting only in Thy merit,

Would I seek Thy face;

Heal my wounded, broken spirit,

Save me by Thy grace. 


4 Thou the Spring of all my comfort,

More than life to me,

Whom have I on earth beside Thee?

Whom in heav'n but Thee?

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: THURSDAY APRIL 4TH, 2024.


THEME: WHAT IS THE ANOINTING?


MEMORISE: 

Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;

2 Corinthians 1:21


READ: Isaiah 61:1-3 

1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;


2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;


3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.


MESSAGE

Many people seek to understand what exactly brings about miracles. When they see a man of God lay hands on a sick person and the sick person gets healed, they want to know what passed from his hand into the sick fellow's body that caused the

healing. When they say someone fell under the anointing, the question is, what is the anointing?


The anointing can be described as 'heavenly electricity', generated by the Holy Spirit. In other words, just like we have electricity here on earth that powers most of our appliances, the anointing is the electricity of heaven. When you see an anointed fellow, that fellow has connected himself to the generator of the anointing in heaven, which is the Holy Spirit, and he now has the heavenly electricity flowing in him. Acts 1:8 says that you will receive power when the Holy Ghost comes upon you. It is that connection with the Holy Ghost that makes the anointing flow through you. You must note, however, that the anointing is not the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the generator of the anointing. The Holy Spirit is God Himself.


How then do you connect with the Holy Spirit in order to get the anointing? The first thing you must note is that He is called the Holy Spirit because He cannot be near anything that is unholy. If you want to connect with the Holy Spirit, you must be holy. God will not anoint a sinner. Amos 3:3 says that two cannot walk together except they be agreed. If you are not holy, the Holy Spirit

cannot work in you.


Also, just as you connect with a man when you speak his language, you connect with the Holy Spirit when you speak in tongues. The more you speak in tongues, the more heavenly electricity you are generating into your body and the more anointed you will be. You see, how anointed you are depends heavily on how much faith you have. Jude 1:20 says that you build up your holy faith by speaking in the Holy Ghost. So, the more you speak in the Holy Ghost, the greater your faith will be. The greater your faith, the more anointing you will have to do the Impossible. You must note also that there are some levels of the anointing that you cannot reach if you don't add regular fasting to your regular prayers (Matthew 17:21).


ACTION POINT

Build up your faith by speaking in tongues regularly, and seek the

baptism of the Holy Spirit if you are yet to receive it.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Samuel 14-16


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE


HYMN 8: I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR


1 I need Thee ev'ry hour,

Most gracious Lord;

No tender voice like Thine

Can peace afford.


Refrain:

I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;

Ev'ry hour I need Thee;

Oh, bless me now, my Savior,

I come to Thee.


2 I need Thee ev'ry hour,

Stay Thou nearby;

Temptations lose their pow’r

When Thou art nigh. 


3 I need Thee ev'ry hour,

In joy or pain;

Come quickly and abide,

Or life is vain. 


4 I need Thee ev'ry hour,

Teach me Thy will;

And Thy rich promises

In me fulfill.
