ANOINTING FOR A NEW CHAPTER
Acts 2:1-4
Acts 2:1-4
"When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."
One of the problems believers are having is ignorance. Many Christians are therefore ignorant about this message. It is mandatory for every believer to understand this fact. From our reading, the apostle were instructed by our lord Jesus Christ to remain in Jerusalem untill the coming of the holy Spirit. Why did he instructed on that? I thought he has taught them every thing they needed to know? This is because irrespective of what you know, any new chapter you access, there's a new anointing to operate.
A new chapter can mean anything. It can be a new environment, a new school, a new business, a new mission. Most times people get confronted with troubles that draws their faith away. And they tag on the devil or release blames on God or people. At times we find ourselves in a new environment and you enter without prayers, and you went there with an old anointing, it will affect you. Now note that prayers been made is not fear, it is taking charge of the territory. Major reasons why students gets into the institution and change is because they went into the school I with a lower/old anointing against the forces in the institution. Likewise a new business line and other spheres of life.
I once had a friend who started this journey with my best friend and I. In terms of prayer me and my friend exceeds him, but when it comes to study of God's word, he derives Joy in it. So there came a time we met one girl. This girl is highly possessed with witchcraft powers. Though we don't know at that time, but she is always afraid of us. We saw an incident (confidential) and the guy wanted to make them repent and follow God. We were not still aware of what is happening. To cut long story short, the girl manipulated him and he dropped his Bible and went back into the world. Later the girl try to do it to another of our friend, then through revelation we discovered who the girl was, and God help us we overcome. Why this story? Our friend went to the girl with a lower anointing for a new mission,on his own and he was defeated. So we have to understand this concept.
