CRITERIA FOR THE ANOINTING
TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
WEDNESDAY, 10TH MAY 2017
TOPIC: CRITERIA FOR THE ANOINTING
SCRIPTURE: Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil - Ezekiel 16:9
MEMORY VERSE: Psalm 89:20
DIGGING DEEP: God does not anoint until one is thoroughly washed. This implies that the only way to be anointed of the Lord is after you have been truly washed. Absolute consecration and purification is key to the anointing.
It is a fact that God’s vessel's of power and impact must be holy. It is a major requirement for the release of the power of God. You can not be pure and not enjoy the flow of the oil of God.
The biggest enemy of the oil of God on your life is the presence of sin.
Just as you cannot eat from a dirty plate or drink water from a dirty cup so it is with God. God can not use you until He washes you. God does nothing with unclean vessels.
In our text God reveals that it is His function to wash us.
Why is washing so important:
1. Been washed gives us legal right to be a part of God: “Peter, if I don’t wash your feet, you have no part with Me” (John 13:8). Jesus was simply saying here is that: i) If you are not washed, He has no business to transact with you.
ii) If you are not washed, He can't use you.
iii) If you are not washed, He has no position in you.
iv) If you are not washed, you have no share in Him.
If you have no part in God, you have no part in His power. If you have no part in God, heaven can never partner with you.
2. It is a stamp of sanctification: "That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water..." (Ephesians 5:26). Sanctification is key to unction.
3. It is in been washed that our kingship and priesthood manifests (Revelation 1:5-6): Our Kingship and priesthood is authenticated when we are washed.
Our text reveals two level/types of Divine washing:
a. "Then washed I thee with water": This refers to the body of sin been washed.
b. "I throughly washed away thy blood from thee": This is the washing of the nature of sin.
These levels of washing was handled at Calvary and emboldened by our committed walk with God. As we daily genuinely release ourselves into the word and fellowship with God we are constantly washed and we keep attaining perfection.
God does not withhold His oil from the lives of those who have given themselves wholly unto Him. Those who have allowed the nature and the body of sin to be washed away by His word and the blood of Jesus.
Finally, beloved the reason the flow of God's oil is scarce is because worthy vessels are scarce, but i pray for you today, God is washing you and through you there will be an outburst of the anointing of God in measures that has never been seen before in Jesus' name.
PRAYER: O Lord cleanse me through and through in Jesus' name.
Lord make my life overflow with your Holy oil. Use me to become a portal for the flow of your fire, revival, anointing to the world in Jesus' name.
QUOTE: Sanctification is key to unction - Dr. Dabbas Joel
DAILY READING: Psalm 122-123, Esther 7
