Have you nurtured your anointing?
Today, co-writer Paul Marc Goulet wrote the message of "A Miracle Every Day". I pray his message and audio will bless you today.

Anointings can be nurtured or neglected. There’s an old country song that comes to my mind when I think about this reality: “Wasted days and wasted nights...” (by Freddy Fender)
I’ve seen so many sad examples of athletes, actors, entrepreneurs and artists who seemed to waste their God-given gifts, talents and anointing. Many of them had more talent than me, better looks, more brains or a higher IQ. Some had bigger bodies or better connections, but somehow they ended up shipwrecked in a sea of failure or dissatisfaction.
friend, have you maximized your talents, passions and gifts?
I believe the difference between success and failure, maximizing your potential or underachieving, being fulfilled or frustrated, is the ingredient I call “nurturing”.
From my experience as a counselor and leader, nurturing includes these important elements:
- Discover your passions and gifts. I’m always watching my grandkids in order to discover their God-given potential. Is it sports, dance, science, math, business, politics, pastoral ministry or administration?
- Focus on these strengths and develop them through study, seminars, Sunday school, lectures or school.
- Practice. The 10,000 repetition rule makes sense to me. If you repeat something 10,000 times, you will master it.
- Bathe your life in prayer in order to be saturated in the anointing.
- Serve others. If you apply your life to serving others, God will pour more oil on you.
