“My enemies say of me in malice,
“When will he die and his name perish?”
“When will he die and his name perish?”
Psalm 41:5
The evidence is overwhelming…
Carry an anointing on your life and you will attract conflict like a magnet attracts iron filings.
Would you agree the following people carried an anointing: Moses, Elijah, David and Daniel?
If you agree, then you will also recognize the conflicts that arose in their lives because of that anointing.
None of them sought the conflict – it was a result of Gods’ anointing.
Whether it was the Pharaoh of Egypt, the prophets of Baal, a Philistine giant named Goliath or the lions den; each of these anointed men of God faced conflict.
Have you asked God to anoint you?
Do you covet that anointing to minister in His power and strength?
If so, you too can expect conflict to follow you.
Only, be sure of this:
Let it be because of the anointing and not because you do foolish things.
Some have behaved poorly and then when the turmoil that behavior has created is evident, they claim it is because they took a stand for God.
Don’t confuse that for the anointing.
Remember what we said yesterday – God sees our heart and knows those who have surrendered their heart and taken on the heart of a servant.
He also recognizes the conflict that arises because of the anointing (and He will strengthen you in spite of the conflict) and the conflict that poor choices we make creates.
We are told in scripture that all who live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
We can further expect that any who desire the anointing
will know the conflicts that anointing brings.
There is a battle taking place for the hearts and lives of men.
An anointed servant, like a general in the Armed Forces, attracts a lot of opposition.
Our confidence though, is not in our own strength but in Him who has called us!
