WHAT HAVE YOU DISCOVERED?

Proverbs 25:2 ‘’It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter’’.


There’s something exciting and beautiful about how our heavenly Father relates to each of His children. He relates to you uniquely and specifically as though you’re the only one on the face of the earth. The way He functions and carries out His ministry through you
is also unique. This is one reason you ought to know how His anointing functions, or rather, is activated in you. You need to discover this unique ministry for yourself.

For example, in Exodus 17, when Joshua led Israel to battle against Amalek, we observe that the course of the battle was mainly determined on the mountain where Moses lifted up his hands. Before this time however, there was no revelation to that effect, of hands being lifted up. But Aaron and Hur observed that the victory came about as Moses lifted up his hands: “And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed…”  (Exodus 17:11).

When they understood this, they got a stone, set it under him to sit on. Then they both held up Moses’ hands, one on each side, so his hands remained steady until the sun went down. Hence, Joshua battled Amalek to victory with the edge of the sword.  Same way, even though Samson had learnt that his hair was a symbol of the power of God in his life, he had to discover how to have a quick-charge during adversity. He usually would shake himself to activate the anointing (Judges 16:20).

What have you discovered in your life, in connection with how the Spirit of God leads you in victory? Have you discovered His unique ministry in you and through you? Spend some time to pray in other tongues and study the Scriptures. The Lord will show you specifically how the anointing functions in you and through you. With this, you’ll be able to achieve the unimaginable—by the power of the Spirit.
