READ: JOEL 2:23-24
The Bible classifies
rain in two broad ways: they are the former rain and the latter rain. These
relate to the anointing in some significant way. The former rain is for
planting while the latter rain announces the arrival of harvest time according
to our reading. Extra anointing is God’s own way of completing the good thing
He started in your life. It is the one God wants to give extra blessing and
glory that would receive the extra anointing. Have you received the anointing
at any time? That was to inform everybody that you have found favour with God.
But beyond this, God gives you opportunity to actualize what He has destined
you to be. When you have opportunity to be anointed the third, fourth and fifth
time, God is simply making a unique statement.
David was anointed at least three times. Samuel sent for him from the jungle (1 Samuel 16:12-13). This anointing made him to realize he was a unique person before God. It also brought out the giant in him which made him subdue the physical giant – Goliath. After the death of king Saul, David was anointed again. This was when he was anointed king over Judah (2 Samuel 2:4). With this anointing, he ruled Judah over for seven years and six months (2 Samuel 2:11). Finally in 2 Samuel 5:1-3 he was anointed over the whole of Israel and ruled thirty three years over all Israel and Judah. Each anointing comes with greater responsibility.
The new anointing the Lord is going to release upon you will help to complete what God has begun in your life. When God anoints you again and again, it shows that you have become His anointed. The purpose of the extra anointing is to completely subdue the devil in your life and give you total victory. An angelic body guard is assigned to the anointed to prevent evil from coming near him according to Psalm 105:14-15. By the time you receive the fresh anointing, any evil power that tries to harm you will be consumed by fire. Go to God for fresh anointing. Have you been ordained? That is not the end but the only the beginning. Go for the greater anointing from God.

MEMORIZE:
PSALM 23:5 –You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You
anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.
