Anointed For Success

1 John 2:18-21 (NKJV): “Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.”

There is an anointing on your life. “If any man is in Christ he is a new creation.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV). Your new life in Christ comes with an anointing. Christ on the inside working on the outside.

“If God be for you, who can be against?” Romans 8:31 (KJV). It’s why “no weapon formed against you can prosper!” Isaiah 54:17 (NKJV). The anointing on your life doesn’t just make you spiritual–It makes you powerful, effectual and unstoppable! 

The Lord Was With Joseph and Caused Him To Succeed. The anointing was so strong on Joseph’s life that It Caused Him To Prosper in the Midst of His Problems.  We Are More Than Conquerors!

Genesis 39:1-4 (NLT): “When Joseph was taken to Egypt by the Ishmaelite traders, he was purchased by Potiphar, an Egyptian officer. Potiphar was captain of the guard for Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. The LORD was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything he did as he served in the home of his Egyptian master.” Success is Tied to Service. The Level of your Success is Determined by the Level of your Service.

The Lord Was With David and Caused Him To Succeed and Become More Powerful. “David continued to succeed in everything he did, for the LORD was with him.” 1 Samuel 18:14 (NLT). “And David became more and more powerful, because the LORD God of Heaven’s Armies was with him.”  

2 Samuel 5:10 (NLT).

The Lord Was With Jesus. This Caused People To Be Amazed and Come. “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, that the oppressed will be set free, and that the time of the LORD’s favor has come.Luke 4:18-19 (NLT). You Are Anointed to Succeed Because You Are Anointed With Favor. 

The Lord Is With You Because He Is In You, You Are Anointed. The Secret isn’t in your Position, It isn’t your Power. It is in His Presence! “’Not By Might, Nor by Power, But By My Spirit’ Says The Lord.” Zechariah 4:6 (NASB 1995)

The Anointing Leads To Overflow–More Than Enough! “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.” Psalm 23:5 (NKJV).
