Welcome to The Lifestyles of the Anointed
1 Peter 5:6 " Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time"
Take a minute to ask yourself this question, what if I lost sight of God while attempting to achieve and chase my ambitions? How often do we as people get so wrapped up in our endeavors and the path of success that we forget that it is God who has positioned and anointed for these paths (Deut 8:18)?
I believe that we are in a time where God is charging our generation to take on the weight of reformation and revival in the Earth. We have had honorable generals and leaders laboring in the vineyard for decades and generations and God is positioning and inspiring them to teach the coming leaders what it truly means to lead. In this changing of the guard one of the biggest things that we face is our own tenacity, our own super powered drive to achieve.
In this awesome time in God how do we position ourselves to be of the most use in the kingdom? The best, most secure effort we can do produce is humbling ourselves before God. We must remember to take our time in prayer, studying and living the life of a disciple. Yes we are powerful, yes we are charged, yes we have been called out but we cannot afford to allow the pride of life to ruin our opportunity to take a part in what God is doing in the Earth.
The Apostle Paul wrote a letter to his son in the gospel Timothy in this letter the apostle warns Timothy that the times that we are living has turned completely humanistic (2 Timothy Chapter 3:1-9.) Truthfully there's but a gigantic handful of our generation that is still holding onto faith but with the population we have, we are still outnumbered by unbelievers. No disrespect to anyone who doesn't believe or practices another religion, but understand that we are supposed to be the light and salt of the Earth. We as the new generation of believers are solely responsible for restoring the faith, hope and love back into the world... What is our driving force?
We must position ourselves under the plans and unction of God. Promotion is inevitable, elevation is the plan but we cannot miss this moment in God's plans by following our own paths. (23 The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.24 Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand. Psalm 37:23-24)
The most successful people in ministry have all learned one great thing... Real disciples, those who really love God and have given their life to Him, they all move in surrender... Let's stay in our lane, remain in power, remain in the wave or path of God but let it all be in surrender to His will and His way.
