There is
something you are designed to be. You have all the potential to become that
thing, but sadly you are not that thing yet. Such was Adam when God made him;
his body was formed from the dust of the ground, he was a fully formed man,
potentially the father of the Human race, but he was just a lifeless carcase on
God’s workshop table.
“And the LORD God formed man of
the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and
man became a living soul.” (Gen 2:7 KJV)
The angels came
in to admire what a handsome creature God has made, but it was useless! Then
God did something unique – He did a mouth to mouth resuscitation exercise on
Adam’s lifeless body and the Man BECAME
a living soul.
There is a wide
gulf between what you are designed to be and actually becoming that thing.
There is a world of difference between Potential energy and Kinetic energy. I
am talking about the difference between been full of potentials and realising
them. It’s about the gap between dreams, visions, ambitions, goals and their
actual fulfilment.
What God did for
Adam is what He must do for you. The breath that Adam received from God was the
anointing of the Holy Spirit. When the anointing came upon the lifeless body of
Adam, he became what God wanted him
to be.
Joseph was a
dreamer for much of his life. His dreams brought him many troubles. However,
Joseph soon became another thing – an interpreter of dreams. This was
clearly a work of the anointing of the Holy Spirit. One day Pharaoh saw that
this prisoner-slave was full of the anointing and made him Prime Minister.
Joesph finally became what God wanted him to be.
“And
Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a
one as this is, a man in whom
the Spirit of God is?” (Gen 41:38 KJV)
As the Lord God
lives, this same anointing will come upon you and you will become what God intends for you to be.
David was a
shepherd boy, destined to be the head of a dynasty of Kings (even Jesus is
called ‘son of David’), but he was in the bush with sheep. One day, this
anointing came upon his life and it began to propel him until he became ALL that God wanted him to be.
Without the anointing, he would have died in the bush as a shepherd boy.
Elisha was a
farmer turned prophet’s servant. Even the sons of the prophets had no respect
for him. He was below them, they were prophets in training, he was their cook!
However, the mantle (anointing) fell and all that changed – Elisha became! You too will become!!
Time will fail
me to tell you of Peter, the fisherman. By reason of the anointing he became fisher-of-men. The scriptures
are full the stories of men and women who became what God wanted, and the key
was the anointing.
This week, seek
to be anointed by Jesus Christ Himself.
Prayers:

divinely inspired dreams and visions come through.
