The anointing is the power of God. In the scriptures, oil is usually used as a symbol of the anointing. The anointing can be derived in several ways; the most common being prayer. There are however, other less known ways through which the anointing can flow towards you. Psalms 141:5 “Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness:and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil,which shall not break my head:for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.” Correction brings the anointing or the power of God. How can we tap into this?...

Psalms 147:18 “He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.” The word of God can act like the elements: fire, the wind and water. Let’s examine them in detail.  The fire of God’s word. When the word acts like fire, it melts or dissolves anything that is in its way.

Acts 22:18 “And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.” There are many good ideas that are not necessarily God ideas. When good ideas replace God ideas, the result is frustration because of a lack of results. The fact that something is good does not necessarily mean God approves of it. While praying in the temple in Jerusalem, the Lord appeared to Paul in a trance and told him not to preach the word in Jerusalem, but go far away to the Gentiles to...

Have you ever been terrified and tormented by the sins of your youth? Maybe in your youth you had an abortion and now that you are older, you are wondering if it will prevent you from having a child. Or you had a sexual relationship with someone in your youth and you don’t know whether you are developing AIDS, because you feel unwell nowadays. Jesus can save you from reaping the sins of your youth. Psalms 25:7 reads, “Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O...
