Keeping the anointing

Was reading my BS teacher guide and I was praying that I can be a effective BS Giver to mark. It is one thing to fill in the blanks and another to be impacted and be changed.
Then the Lord impressed upon me about keeping the anointing.

Anointing is somewhat difficult to explain to people who have not yet know God. To simply put it, it is like having the approval and empowerment of the Lord in whatever you do. With the anointing, you can do anything and anything can become fruitful. Take for example, a average singer can bring forth the presence of God into a room, when another better singer can't do it as well even though she might be a better singer.


No matter what ministry we are in, keep the anoiniting is very important. Anointing is something which can be lost very easily if we fail to appreciate and treasure it in our lives. Take Samson for example. Quoting from Wikipedia:

Samson is a Herculean figure, who is granted tremendous strength through the Spirit of the Lord to combat his enemies and perform heroic feats unachievable by ordinary men: wrestling a lion, slaying an entire army with nothing more than a donkey's jawbone, and tearing down an entire building

He lost it because of his lustful nature, his weakness for women. By the time he managed to gain it back, he has already lost most of what God placed in his life.


Sometimes we do the wrong things , things not according to the will of God, things not approving to God and we might just lose the anointing.Perhaps not to get back the same level of anointing you once have.


Praying for more anointing.
