The Spirit of the Lord is upon me for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see and that the oppressed will be set free. – Luke 4:18 (NLT)
ANOINTING FROM GOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
As we turn to God for help and blessing
He will give us the power through his anointing
The Lord has given us authority to bring Good News
He gave us his word so we can have our minds renewed.
God sent his people to proclaim that captives will be released
He gave them authority to heal all kinds of disease
God promised the broken and oppressed to be set free
If we rely on him and follow his words, we will be able to see.
There are many people who plan things in their lives on their own. They do not consult God’s word or seek his wisdom. We do not have an omniscient point of view like God, so we usually miss out on what’s best for us in making decisions and choices.
The bible says that the Spirit of God is on his people. They are anointed to bring the Good News, to set the captives free and let the blind see. Anointing is very essential in a believer’s life.
PRAYER
Lord, show me what you have anointed me with.
REFLECTION
Are you aware of your own anointing?

THE ANOINTED ONE
A poem and essay by ILMA
Because of God’s love for humankind
He has brought Christ for us to find
The Spirit of God is upon Him
He was anointed for us to be redeemed.
He came so we can hear the Good News
He brought us spiritual gifts that we can use
He makes the blind see and the oppressed free
He loves you so much that he wants you to see.
Anointing is a ceremony conferring divine or holy office upon a priest or monarch by smearing or rubbing with oil. David was anointed (1 Samuel 16:13) before he became king. What does an anointing do? In Isaiah 11:2, we are shown that the Spirit of the Lord rests on the anointed giving him wisdom, understanding, counsel and might, knowledge and fear of the Lord. That is what anointing does. It brings his power in us through his Spirit.
Christ is the anointed one. He brings Good News to the poor, release captives, let the blind see and the oppressed free.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for your anointing.
REFLECTION
What gifts are you anointed with?
