READ: Hebrews 1:1-12
“…let every one that nameth the name of christ depart from iniquity.” – 2 Timothy 2:19
If you study the life of Jesus, you will discover certain things He did, which explain how He became anointed (Luke 3:21-22). Jesus, even though He was greater than John the Baptist, submitted Himself to the latter. He actually joined his ministry by allowing John to baptize Him. God will anoint someone who will humble and submit himself to another.
There are many rebellious elements in the church that are looking for anointing. They are looking for God’s gifts. God does not anoint illegal things. That is why the Bible says that everyone who uses the name of Christ should depart from iniquity and again that those who hate iniquity shall be anointed (Hebrews 1:9).
Sometimes I look at people who want to be anointed and see them fighting with everybody who was there before they came. Why do you fight with somebody who was there before you? We all have to learn to acknowledge the fathers that God puts before us.
Notice that before Jesus even had the chance to heal one person, a voice came from Heaven saying, “This is my beloved Son.” If you really want to please God, it is not necessarily in preaching and teaching. You will please God by just humbling yourself. The first fall was caused by pride. That first fall of Satan, has caused every other fall since then.
