AWAKE! NEGLECT NOT THE ANOINTING

-
1Timothy 4:14
Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

From old times kings, prophets and even judges in scriptures received anointing to function from laying on of hands and anointing of the head. It was not really the person laying the hands but an act that signifies that the Lord's Spirit has began an operation on that life.

For the fathers like Abraham or Noah or Moses they had to hear the voice of the Lord, obviously no one carried on the anointing that they may lay hands or anoint them.

To Christ Jesus it was during his baptism the bible said "... Spirit remained. . ."

For the orthodox worshippers during the confirmation when the bishop lays his hands to confirm their baptism, to the Pentecostal who may believe that it was when the received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, one way or the other there is a passing on of the anointing when God marks a fresh birth of a ministry - - - Your Ministry!

Some forget, some do not know what happened, some may just speak in tongues, prophesy or manifest a gift for a while then everything dies down. NO!!!

1Timothy 4:15
Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.

We can not be like seeds sown on the way side, stony ground or with thorns. We are sown on good grown that we may bear much fruit.

1Timothy 4:12
Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

If you are not functioning in that anointing you received, you have been despised, cheated or even robbed!

Let us wake up!

Stir up those gifts again!

TIME IS RUNNING OUT!

I see you alive and bearing fruit.

You are blessed.

Love
@the watcher

DO YOU STILL SEE?

Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
