CONDUCTORS OF THE ANOINTING III

Memorise:
And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: .. Acts 19:11

Read:
2 Kings 2:19-22

Message

Yesterday, I mentioned that God needs your hands to be clean so that He can use it to do great things. Your hands should bring blessings to people, not the other way around.

In Exodus 15:22-25, the Israelites got to Marah, and they couldn't drink the water there because it was bitter. God showed Moses a tree, and he cut a branch from it, threw it Into the water, and the water became sweet. I believe that if it had been someone else who threw that branch in the water, nothing would have changed. In 2 Kings 4:38-41,somebody unknowingly added a poisonous herb to the food that was being prepared for the sons of the prophets. Upon lasting it, they said, "There is death in the pot." Elisha then said, "Bring me some flour." He put the flour in the pot, and the poison was neutralised. The flour became a potent antidote because the anointing flowed through the hands that poured it into the pot.

Years ago, I travelled to Lokoja, a state capital in Central Nigeria, and I saw a huge tree on a major road within the city. The road was built around the tree, and when I asked why, I was told that the tree could not be uprooted because there were evil forces surrounding it. Quietly, I stretched my hand towards the tree and prayed a simple prayer. That night, there was a violent storm, and by the next morning, the tree had been uprooted. I decree that any tree that God has not planted in your life, family, or city will be uprooted today, in Jesus' name.

God performed special miracles by the hands of Paul. Handkerchiefs and aprons were taken from his body to heal the sick and deliver those who were oppressed by demons(Acts 19:11-12). Pieces of cloth that had come in contact with Paul's hands and aprons that had come in contact with his body became healing vessels and demon chasers. In today's Bible reading, the inhabitants of Jericho told Elisha that their city was pleasant, but the ground was barren, and the water was bad. He took some salt and poured it at the source of the water flowing into the city, and the waters became fit for use. It wasn't the salt that performed the miracle; it was the hand of the anointed fellow that threw in the salt. Beloved, I decree that as you raise your hands, any curse on your life, family, village, town, or country will be broken, in Jesus' name.

Bible In One Year:
1 John 1-5

Hymn:
Take My Life, And Let It Be

Prayer Point:
Father, please perform special miracles through my hands, in Jesus' name.

King James Version

2 Kings 2:19-22

And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren. [20] And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they bring it to him. [21] And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land. [22] So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake.
RCCG Hymn

Take my life, and let it be

  1. Take my life, and let it be
    Consecrated, Lord to Thee;
    Take my moments and my days,
    Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
  2. Take my hands, and let them move
    At the impulse of Thy love;
    Take my feet, and let them be
    Swift and beautiful for Thee.
  3. Take my voice and let me sing
    Always, only, for my King;
    Take my lips and let them be
    Filled with messages from Thee.
  4. Take my silver and my gold;
    Not a mite would I withhold;
    Take my intellect, and use
    Every power as Thou shalt choose.
  5. Take my will and make it Thine,
    It shall be no longer mine:
    Take my heart, it is Thine own;
    It shall be Thy royal throne,
  6. Take my love, my Lord, I pour
    At Thy feet its treasure store;
    Take myself, and I will be
    Ever, only, all for Thee.
