What’s my anointing?
Do you know that you have something really special in you and upon you? Some call it the X-factor or the It-factor, but you have something very unique in you. In fact, Psalms 139:16 reveals that you were designed for very specific purposes: “Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be.” (NIV) Before you ever exhaled one breath, God already had a tremendous plan for your life. This plan doesn’t happen by accident. God has given you all the ingredients required to live your destiny.
God will do His part by:
- Cleansing you of all of your sins and shortcomings.
- Providing a clear purpose for you. Your life is not an accident.
- Giving you favor, power, and gifts to accomplish your assignment.
- Supporting your growth by providing a relational infrastructure. “So Christ Himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip His people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up...” (Ephesians 4:11-12, NIV).
- Anointing you to fulfill your divine destiny. You will live with a supernatural touch from heaven. “But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.” (1 John 2:20, NIV)
The anointing is God’s secret sauce. It will help you shine for Him, change lives, lead many to Christ, build businesses, and score that winning goal in soccer. When you live your destiny, you become like a fine perfume to the Earth. You smell like heaven when the anointing of God is on you. “For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.” (2 Corinthians 2:15, NIV) Everyone has a particular scent because we are all different. When the Spirit of God touches your life, you will emanate a heavenly smell that is beautiful and unique. What do you smell like when God is on you?
friend, I’m praying that you will seek to be the perfume of heaven. The world is waiting for the scent of heaven...will you be the carrier of this fragrance? There is a name written on that scent, and it’s not Dior, Chanel, or Bulgari—it’s the Spirit of Jesus. The anointing is not separate from you; it is only released into the atmosphere when it rests upon you like a fine perfume. Receive it, protect it, and share it because you are a miracle.
