Anointing in the Heart of Worship (A)

Read: Numbers 14:24, 27:18, 32: 12;

Deuteronomy 1:38, 11:24

Not one except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun, for they followed the Lord wholeheartedly.

Numbers 32: 12



      What is Anointing? Anointing is action of preparation for ministry you have. Like King Saul, David... etc. They had been anointing by Samuel. So that David could kill King Saul from time to time, David said, "he can not lay hands on His anointing one King Saul. 1 Samuel 26: 23 said, "... but I would not lay hand on the Lord's anointing one."

       Anointing brings your life to fill with Holy Spirit who will empower you to do His ministry well, it means that you may sing with anointing (full of Holy Spirit) and preaching in His power.

      When King David had committed sin in Psalm 51, verse 11 says, "Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me." God granted his prayer. Restore David's joy of his salvation and a willing spirit to sustain him.

The Principles in Anointing:

(1)  Follow God wholeheartedly.

       In Numbers 14: 24 said, "but because my servant Caleb has a different Spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land be went to, and his descendants will inherit it." Then 27: 18 said, "So the Lord said to Moses, 'take Joshua Son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit and let your hand on him.

        And Numbers 32: 12 said, "Not one except Caleb son of  Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun, for they followed the Lord wholeheartedly."  Then Deuteronomy 1: 36 said, "Except Caleb son of Jephunneh. He will see it, and I will give him and his descendants the land he set his feet on, because he followed the Lord wholeheartedly.

       Those Scripture Verses repeated the same words:  ...  followed the Lord wholeheartedly about Caleb and Joshua. We are the worshipers who follow God wholeheartedly. It is God who loves us to do it.

(2)  Encouragement brings effective in the ministries.

        In Deuteronomy 1: 38 said, "But your assistant Joshua son of Nun will enter it. Encourage him (Joshua), because he will lead Israel to inherit it." 

         We need to encourage the church leaderships as Pastors and evangelists who have done good. Encourage someone who will receive positive message, so that they can do better in God's ministries.

         Results of obedience, in Deuteronomy 11: 24 said, "Every place where you set your foot will be yours." as God has promised.

Follow Jesus wholeheartedly, we are the true worshipers.
