He was righteous and devout and was eagerly waiting for the Messiah to come and rescue Israel. The Holy Spirit was upon him. – Luke 2:25(NLT)
ANOINTING FOR THE RIGHTEOUS AND DEVOUT
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you follow the will of the Lord in your life?
When you are righteous and devout, you’ll see his light
When you believe that Jesus is your Lord and Savior
You will be anointed to do God’s work and be a victor.
The path to salvation is narrow and only few tread it
The gate to damnation is wide and many walk on it
Wouldn’t you want to have the Spirit’s anointing?
Life will be peaceful and you’ll enjoy God’s blessings.

There are many believers who live their lives without even knowing their anointing. The only way a Christian will be able to know his or her calling is by having a close relationship with the Lord. If we constantly seek him and hunger to know more about him, he will reveal anything we want to know and he will anoint us with the presence of his Spirit to be able to fulfill his work through you.
The bible gives us an example of a prophet named Simeon who was very devout and righteous. As a result of his holiness, God appointed and anointed him to prophecy about the Lord Jesus and that he will live long enough to see him.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for giving us your Spirit freely if we believe.
REFLECTION
Has the Spirit been upon you and have shown you your anointing?
