Night Jesus Was Anointed

A devotional commentary on the records in the Gospels covering the first three months of AD 30.

What Really Happened? Most reasonably informed Christians are well aware that many of the traditions that surround the Christmas holidays have pagan origins and very little correlation with the actual events as recorded in the Bible. However, most of us are surprised when we discover that some of what we have been taught about Easter is not only in error, but deliberately so!

The clearest definition of the anointing we are referring to here is given in the Book of Isaiah 10:27: And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken awayfrom off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall bedestroyed because of the anointing.According to the bible, the anointing is:1. The burden removing weapon.2. The yoke breaking power of God.3. The yoke destroying power.Anointing is the most effective and devastating weapon against the burden or the yoke of the enemy.The Bible says: The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty then that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. Luke 4:18-19Anointing is the burden removing and yoke breaking power of God. Anointing is what empowers a man or a woman to function supernaturally. Anointing is that which enables you to do supernatural things. Beloved, you must understand that Christianity is a spiritual thing. Christianity is not just a religion. It is an encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ. It is an experience from heaven. The anointing is the supernatural power for supernatural assignments. The anointing is a heavenly electric power. If you are plugged to that power men and women will see you as somebody from another world. The anointing is the liquid power that comes with the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. The anointing is the presence and power of God.What are those things that the anointing can do for you?1. The anointing opens doors that have long been shut.Samson in the Bible was just a normal man but whenever the anointing cameupon him he became a super man. When the anointing came upon Samson, he tore the mouth of a lion. When the anointing comes upon your life doors that have been shut by enemies will open forcefully.A husband and wife who were Professors had a son who was almost a dunce. The boy always came last at the end of term examination but they attended one of our services and a word of knowledge came concerning the boy's situation which they both claimed. When the boy wrote another terminal examination he came first. The teacher could not believe it because of the boy's previous record. By the anointing, the door of destiny that was shut against the boy was opened.2. The anointing makes you to succeed when other people fail.On the first night that a pastor spent in a new branch, a serpent crawled into his apartment and made straight for his bed. The serpent crawled around the pastor's neck to strangulate him to death and realizing that his life was slipping away, the pastor began to pray in tongues making the serpent loose its grip and fall. Eventually the serpent turned to an old woman and the pastor ran back to the headquarters requesting for fresh posting to another place.Another pastor was posted to the same branch but unfortunately, he died when he was tested by the evil powers in the church environment. However, when a third pastor was posted to the same church, he prayed and cut the evil tree that the occult used as their power base. This action made the seven major witch doctors in the area come out and give the pastor twenty-four hours to die. But, because the pastor was anointed, the seven native doctors died instead and some people gave their lives to Christ. Once you key into the anointing you will definitely succeed when others are failing woefully.3. The anointing empowers you to press on.When everyone tells you to stop, when everything is hindering you from moving forward, the anointing will empower you to move. When men and women have become weary, you will be enabled to move on once you have tapped into the anointing of God.4. The anointing makes you another man entirely.5. The anointing makes your face to shine

General Bishop Alton A. Smith; Esther and Robert H. Perara Sr.; and the pastor's wife, Lady D. (Doris BentonaEUR"Smith), our fortieth anniversary renewal wedding directress. This is the Lord's doing. It is marvelous in our eyes (Psalms 118:23, 24). For this is the day the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it in all our days! O Haman's spirit lost again! Prayer changes things! Our pastor reminds us, "A blessing delayed is not a blessing denied!"

In his seminal work, Young, Anointed and Empowered, Marcus L. Arrington presents an uplifting message of hope to teens and young adults worldwide. Through transparent articulation of his own journey and the journeys of well-known biblical figures, he confirms that God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Some of his character highlights include David, Joseph and Daniel and his three friends. Arrington's introduction begins with a brief survey of the ills that inundate the landscape of youthdom. He ends on a glorious note of triumph by assuring youths and those that care for youths that the enemies that confront them and seek to destroy them aren't indestructible. In fact, Arrington informs some and reminds others that God Almighty is a timely deliverer who makes it His business to rescue the downtrodden, bruised and oppressed. After a riveting introduction, Arrington builds momentum in Chapter 1 where he asks poignantly, "whatcha lookin for?" He again informs and reminds youths that the "it" or "thing" their searching for is found in God through Jesus Christ. After examining the faith, commitment and courage of the aforesaid biblical figures in Chapters 4-6, Arrington continues his conversation by observing purity and the need to have a clean heart before God in chapter 7. He transitions from his emphasis on purity and addresses the politics of being called by God to do a work for God. In Chapter 8 Arrington, discusses empowerment. He creatively explains the ministry, person and work of the Holy Spirit and why all believers need His direction and help. Finally, Arrington concludes his conversation with a heartfelt observation of the truth that greatness in life is preceded by the tandem of humility and obedience to God.

The earliest of the four Gospels, the book portrays Jesus as an enigmatic figure, struggling with enemies, his inner and external demons, and with his devoted but disconcerted disciples. Unlike other gospels, his parables are obscure, to be explained secretly to his followers. With an introduction by Nick Cave
