Memorise: "For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them" (Isa 61:7)
Read: Mark 10:46-52
When the new anointing comes, it will repeat what it has done in the life of your father. It can open doors that had been long shut and even frustrate internal enemies. Many years ago, a man came in company of his wife to our church at Ebute Metta, Lagos. Not long after, we noticed he was coming alone. Disturbed, we decided to follow up his wife. When we met her, she said she had to stop coming because since she started coming to our church, at night when she was about to fly to their meeting, she would hit the roof and fall back. The new anointing on you will expose and frustrate every internal enemy in your life this season.
Another possibility of the new anointing is its ability to move someone from being mocked to being celebrated. When Elisha followed his master Elijah from city to city, the other sons of the prophets embarrassed him but he simply told them to hold their peace. By the time he returned with the new anointing, all those who were mocking him bowed to him. The truth remains that those who pay the price to obtain the new anointing would always be distinguished. People keep manufacturing excuses for laziness. Do you want to be a key player in the spiritual realm? Do you want to operate in the miraculous? What have you done to get there? Elisha went the extra mile and he got the double portion anointing. What price have you paid? Until you leave your comfort zone and dare to be different, the anointing for the next level may not come.
Have you been ignored for so long? Have people pushed you out of prominence? Have certain antecedents worked against you? Crying, self pity, and resignation to fate are not what you need: you need to hold on to God until your change comes. You need to go to God for what money cannot buy. In Mark 10:46-52, the same people who shut up blind Bartimaeus were the ones the Lord sent to bring him. And when he received his brand new eyes, his critics celebrated with him. If he had not attracted Heaven's attention, he would have died a blind man. As you take steps to acquire the new anointing, I see God causing you to celebrate with former critics and mockers. It shall be well with you.
Father, as I have been mocked because I lacked the anointing, let me be celebrated as You release Your anointing upon me today.
