ANOINTED TO SERVE

And He opened the book and found the place where it was written, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor…to set free those who are oppressed, to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.”
—Luke 4:17–19, emphasis added

In today’s verse, Yeshua said the Spirit of the Lord had anointed Him to… Anointings come to equip us to fulfill a purpose. Jesus was anointed to preach, set free, and reveal God’s favor. So I want to ask you today, What are you anointed for? 

The Bible says the Spirit has given each of us some type of spiritual gift we can use to serve others. If you don’t know how you are anointed to serve, ask Father God to show you. Ask Him what specific gifts, talents, or strengths He has imparted to you. When Father God shows you how He has anointed you, ask yourself, “How can I use this anointing to serve the Lord by serving the body of Jesus? What is my assignment?” 

All of us are called to serve. Many people are only receiving, but following Yeshua is about more than being filled up with more of Him. It’s also about letting Him pour Himself out to others through us. Jesus said the one who serves is greater than the one who is served. So, beloved one, let’s identify our anointing, and then let’s step out and serve people

Stay in Balance!

  Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. Mark 6:31 Stay in Balance Everywhere Jesus went, He was healing people, teaching in the synagogues, pouring Himself into His disciples. People made constant demands on His time and energies. Imagine how He felt. As the Son of God, He had this incredible power, anointing, wisdom, so much to offer. Yet at times, when He was exhausted, He would go away from the crowds and get alone so He could be refreshed. Despite the pressing needs around Him, Jesus knew that He had to take care of His temple.  If the Son of God had to be alone and rest, if He couldn’t meet all the demands of the people around Him, why do we think we can go all the time and be everything for everyone? No matter how anointed, strong, smart, or gifted you are, you get depleted. Despite all the needs around you, yo...

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...
