ANOINTING THAT ATTRACTS HELP
ANOINTING THAT ATTRACTS HELP
2Ki 2:1-5 KJV 1 And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. 2 And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said unto him, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel. 3 And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace. 4 And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho. 5 And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
2Ki 2:14-15 KJV 14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over. 15 And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
Many times Christians are insulted, go through shame and ridicule. We suffer humiliation from friends, neighbours and family members. How can these kinds of things stop? People said money stops nonsense and it is true to some extent. Even the Bible collaborated this in the book of Ecclesiastes.
Ecc 10:19 KJV A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.
It may not be 100% true as per Solomon but you will agree with me that money is a factor.
So, if a Christian is yet to have enough money, he must then endure and continue to bear insults and humiliation of the devil? I found an answer.
In the text we read, Elijah was to be taken away and so both Elijah and Elisha were moving from one city to another. In each city the sons of the prophets there will approach Elisha and ask him if he was aware that God will take his master from him? He too will reply yes I know but keep quiet.
2Ki 2:3 KJV And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
They were telling him that from today you will no longer have a master or teacher like us. It was insults and ridicule.
1Ki 19:21 KJV And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.
But after both crossed Jordan and Elijah was actually taken, Elisha took the mantle that fell, repeated the same feat at Jordan then the sons of prophets at Jordan changed their mind about Elisha.
2Ki 2:15 KJV And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
The same people that were mocking and questioning Elisha a few hours ago came to him and testified, bowed and submitted to him as a leader now. They were acknowledging him now to be their chief instructor.
Suddenly a servant of Elijah became a master. The ones that poured water on the hands of Elijah became the lead prophet. The one they were ridiculing became a celebrant. What changed? The Spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. People were gathered around him. There is an anointing that stops nonsense.
- There is an anointing that attracts the right set of people unto you.
- There is an anointing that change your status within twinkling of an eye
- There is an anointing that change insult to results
- There is anointing that shut the mouth of mockers and
- There is an anointing that stops struggling in life.
From that moment; whenever you read the account of Elisha, it was one miracle or the other,
people were attending to him and he made a lot of difference.
When such Spirit comes on us, what we don’t seek or beg for will be given to us.
1Sa 10:3-4 KJV 3 Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine: 4 And they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread; which thou shalt receive of their hands.
The things you don’t beg for will be delivered to you
Anointing that attracts help, especially unsolicited help.
There are people that are carrying things that belong to you. They are carrying your job, contract, opportunities, customers that are carrying your money, but when the Spirit rests on you like Saul, whatever that is yours that they are carrying will be delivered.
1Sa 10:3-6 KJV 3 Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine: 4 And they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread; which thou shalt receive of their hands. 5 After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy: 6 And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
They gave those things to Saul without soliciting for them. This is because something was on Saul. They could not resist the urge to salute and honour him with what they were carrying.
Sometimes situations and circumstances are very difficult and remain so for a long time. This what their account in the book of Isaiah
Isa 32:13-16 KJV 13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city: 14 Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks; 15 Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest. 16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
What has the Spirit to do with wilderness and field? You should be talking about irrigation, fertilizer, GMO products
But they said things will remain like that until the Spirit rest on us from on high
Because He is over all. He created them all.
Isaiah was talking of “high” because he was looking for what is to come. But now, the Lord Jesus said out of your belly shall come rivers of living water..
Joh 7:38 KJV He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
When the Spirit that is already on the inside rests on us, then the unusual and uncommon becomes our ots in life. The Spirit doth rest on Felix. Then my wilderness is turned into a forest
PRAYER
- ANOINTING that changes status, that makes a man to become a different person, rest on me
- Upon mount Zion is holiness and deliverance. Whatever is mine that is being carried away I receive it in Jesus name.
- Anointing that turns wilderness into fruitful field and fruitful field into forest is resting upon me.
