Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: It is like the precious ointment upon the head,
that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts
of his garments; Psalms 133:2
Read: Acts 19:11-12
Recently, I went to America and visited a book shop to buy
some tapes. An American came and introduced himself to me and shook me.
Immediately after the handshake, he asked: “What happened?” Unknown to me the
man was suffering from pains on his hands and one of his legs but he observed
that the pain had suddenly disappeared from both the hands and leg. As I moved
further from there, the man began to ask those with me: “Who is this man?”
Thereafter, he returned and asked for another handshake. This season, the
anointing of God on you will spread to others. It is worth nothing that
anointing is not just for the benefit of the anointed. God expects the anointing
to overflow to others. An African adage says: When the eyes are full of water,
they would drop on the nose. Do you know that the anointing can so overflow
through you that you will become a mighty vessel in God’s hands?
When David was anointed, the anointing on him flowed to a lamb
that was already grabbed by a lion for meat and delivered it. God expects you
to protect the flock of God with the anointing He has placed in you. If you say
you are anointed yet the enemy comes in at will to do whatever he likes with
members of your flock or family, it simply means, either you have lost your
anointing or it is barely enough for you, hence there is no overflow. Show me a
congregation who is under divine cover and I will show you a pastor with an
overflowing anointing. In the same vein, if you are a father, and you are born
again, God gives you an anointing that should overflow to your children and
wards. If members of your family easily fall sick, lose things or come under
different attacks from the enemy’s territory, it is an indication that the
anointing is not flowing to members of that family. If that is the experience
in your family, ask your husband or daddy: ‘Daddy, where is the overflow?’ This
overflow should move from house fellowship leaders to members, from the
Believers class teacher to the students, etc. Just as the anointing overflowed
from Aaron’s head to his beard and down to his skirts, so should the anointing
overflow from the spiritual head to subordinates (Psalms 133:2).
PRAYER POINT:
Father, let your anointing in me overflow to others in need
of it.
Bible in one year: Numbers 7-10
