READ: ISAIAH 35:7-10
Never take the anointing
of God for granted. Once you have become anointed, God places a greater demand
for daily holy living on you. From that moment, you cannot afford to toy with
sin. You will have to become steadfast in Christ in those areas you use to
compromise the faith. Any act of carelessness can cause you to forfeit the
power behind the anointing oil. That terminates your ride into greatness and
returns a greater yoke upon you. The bottom line is, “Go and sin no more.”
“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us” (Hebrews 12:1). The anointing helps you to run the race into your destiny. It helps you also to run the race into Heaven. But if you allow the ‘weight,’ you will no go far. The anointing can flow without ceasing. If you meet God’s conditions to receive the anointing and you do not violate the condition for sustaining it, He will keep it ever-flowing. Rather than diminish, it will continue to increase. I pray this will be your portion in Jesus name.
I was still young in the Lord when I was ordained a pastor. The anointing was very precious to me. In fact, I did not want anything to remove the physical oil from my head, so I avoided bathing for three days. In my naivety I thought soap and water could remove the precious anointing from me. But now I know better. The physical oil is only a symbol and avenue for the spiritual oil to be released. The physical oil can be washed away but the spiritual oil stays. This abiding, unseen oil can only be encountered through the demonstration of the power of God.
In Isaiah 35:10, the anointing is called everlasting joy. If you are a believer and you have set yourself apart from sin to holy living, nothing will be able to remove the anointing of God from your life. You can go on rejoicing with everlasting joy as the oil God has put on you will never dry.

MEMORIZE:
HEBREW 12:1 –Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud
of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily
beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.
