OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL
DATE: SATURDAY 16TH JANUARY 2016
THEME: THE NEW ANOINTING
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.” Revelation 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.
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 (Acts1:5, 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.” 1John 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, 2 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 first.
Action Point:
Activate the new anointing upon your life by praying
in Jesus’ Name for the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
