OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL-SATURDAY-16/01/2016-THE
NEW ANIONTING-BY PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE
Memorise:
And he that sat upon the throne said, behold, I make
all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and
faithful. Revelations 21:5
Read:
Acts 1:7-8,
7 And he said unto them, it is not for you to
know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
8 But ye shall receive power, after that the
Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in
Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of
the earth.
KJV
MESSAGE
“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord,
that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of
Judah:”
Jeremiah 31:31
The implication of this passage is that the
new covenant presupposes a new anointing which is represented by Jesus Christ.
He makes many things new including our mode of worship. After Jesus Christ had
completed the work of our redemption, before He ascended to be with His Father,
He promised the disciples the power of the Holy Ghost (Acts 1:5, 8). The coming
of the Holy Ghost brought the new anointing which does many things in the life
of a believer. One of such is the conviction of sin. Another thing the new
anointing does is found in Luke 4:18-19
“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 broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and
recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to
preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”
The new anointing brings the
good news of salvation to sinners. It also brings healing. Deliverance and the
recovery of sight to both spiritually and physically blind individuals. With
the new anointing, we are shielded from seducing and lying spirits. We are
properly groomed into all godliness without having to struggle on our own.
Also, the Bible says:
“But the anointing
which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man
teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is
truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.”
1st John
2:27
Our Lord Jesus Christ, under the influence
of the new anointing, went about doing good, preaching the gospel of peace
between man and the Almighty God. When a new believer comes under the new
anointing, 2nd Corinthians 5:17 explains what happens;
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he
is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become
new.”
My prayer for
someone using this devotional is that the blessing of the new anointing will be
your portion in Jesus’ name. However, you must surrender your life to Jesus
Christ.
Action Point
Activate the new anointing upon your life by praying in Jesus’ name for
the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
