God's Anointing
The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me…
- Luke 4:18
The Bible’s pages are filled with accounts of how God’s anointing was present
upon everything from a staff to a shadow.
The anointing rested on Moses’ staff as it swallowed the snakes of Pharaoh
(Exodus 7:8-13) and upon Elijah’s cloak as he parted the Jordan and walked on
dry ground (2 Kings 2).
The anointing rested upon Elisha’s bones—and, when a dead man was thrown into
his open tomb, the dead man’s eyes popped open and he became alive again (2
Kings 13:21).
The anointing will cause what was once dead to come alive again! It is the life
force of Almighty God!
Romans 8:11 says, “And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is
living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your
mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.”
The anointing of God was in the mud Jesus placed upon the blind man’s eyes and
upon Peter’s handkerchiefs and aprons.
The same anointing that resurrected Jesus is still at work in our lives today
for God’s glory and for the furthering of His kingdom.
