THE TEACHING ANOINTING

12/28/2023

"Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. And He marveled because of their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching" (Mark 6:5-6).

There are times in the life cycle of the Church wherein the Lord finds enormous difficulty in bringing His agenda to pass because His people are unbelieving. At such times, miracles are scant, and wickedness is rife. At such times, He sends a teaching anointing to address the decline of faith. But, it also behooves believers to open up to this anointing. See, God's capacity to perform overnight miracles in your city, family, children, business, and community is not in doubt; what is in doubt is your capacity to orchestrate a priesthood that can facilitate spiritual-to-material transitions.

Yet, it's not as though God hasn't taken action from His end to bring about the desired results on earth. As stated in 1 Peter 2:9, "[You] are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." The apparent challenge lies in the lack of understanding regarding the role of a priest, and it is precisely this gap that the teaching anointing seeks to rectify. Revelations 1:5-6 says, "…To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen." The calling of the priest entails the daily performance of rites and rituals. It is not a religious but mandatory practice if you are going to live as a king in this world and the world to come. 

There are things that you ought to be performing in your daily priesthood; otherwise, God's agenda will not come to pass in those matters. For example, our morning prayer is an act of priesthood that gives us influence in the jurisdictions and concerning the matters in which the Spirit leads us. As the teachings on priesthood permeate your spirit, you will sense a compelling draw and a growing awareness of your roles as a priest. A profound understanding of the Christian priesthood, both as a collective entity and in its individual expressions, will gradually envelop you. Isaiah 50:4 captures this transformative process, stating, "The Lord GOD has given Me The tongue of the learned, That I should know how to speak A word in season to him who is weary. He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear To hear as the learned." 

An awakening to priesthood is in the offing, Saint, and it is time to angulate your heart to this move of the anointing.

Have a blessed day.

Faith-Filled Confession 

I hear God to do. I am enabled on this day of His power in my life to perform my priestly duties in the sanctifying presence of the Holy Ghost and I am blessed as never before. In Jesus' name. Amen.
