OPENING PRAYER

Almighty God, we want to Bless Your Holy Name for yet another day when Your Workers, Your Ministers can gather together and hear Your Words.

We Bless Your Holy Name, that even in their various homes now, You will reach out to them. Please, accept our Worship, in Jesus’ Name!

Father we are Praying that today, You will grant Your children the Grace to live the Anointed life!

And that from now on, by the very Special Grace of God, we will be hearing Mighty Testimonies from all Your children, in Jesus’ Name.

Thank You Father; in Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!

We want to Thank the Almighty God for the Message that He sent to us yesterday; and we want to Thank Him in advance for what He will reveal to us today.

We want to talk to you tonight about: LIVING THE ANOINTED LIFE.

Yesterday we talked to you about THE ANOINTING; how it Flows like a River!

But today we want to talk to you about: “LIVING THE ANOINTED LIFE”

We believed that, since you Prayed to God yesterday, that the Anointing has FLOWED to you Mightily – Amen!

We would be reading Romans 8:37;

“Nay, in ALL these things we are More Than Conquerors through Him that loved us.”

… We are More Than Conquerors!

When you are Anointed, you are not just champion; you are a DIVINE CHAMPION.

You are a “Divine Champion” because the Anointing of the Most High is operating in your life!

Now, I’m sure, like I tried to get across to you yesterday; that Anointing could be in Categories. That it depends on how much you are ready to soak in it.

In 2 Kings 1:9-12; we see Anointing of a very high degree; when some. Soldiers came to arrest Elijah, and he called down Fire from Heaven to wipe them out!

But then, in 2 Kings 2:9-15; Elisha said he still wanted something double that! That as great as that was, he wanted double.

… And he got it!

I’m going to start by telling you two (2) True Stories; just to let you know, what Anointing can do.

… The CATEGORIES of Anointing!

When we were younger, our hunger was for Anointing. And so we hear Testimonies of people who had done some Marvelous things through Anointing.

And we hungered for it, we thirsted for it. And then God began to do some interesting things in our midst.

For example, a group of young men went to the Riverine area to Preach the Gospel. But they were sleeping in one classroom of a school – No windows, nothing!

And of course there were plenty mosquitoes around. And so the brethren were slapping themselves as they tried to drive away the mosquitoes.

But there was one of them that remained very cool – He wasn’t doing any slapping, any shaking. And so the others were saying: Are the mosquitoes not troubling you? He said Oh, mosquitoes?

He said come, let me show you something. So He bared his hands, and mosquitoes came zooming. I mean, dozens of them! They alighted on his stretched out arm.

And as the other brothers watched; every mosquito that alighted on his arm, fell down dead.

… He said, that is ANOINTING!

That’s one (1) example – True Story!

But I will tell you another one, which is even in a higher level:

A Man of God was sitting in a school Hall, getting ready to conduct Bible Study, while people were settling down. And it was in those days of – ‘You name it and claim it’.

I’m sure many of you, who are older would remembered those days! Anything you want, just name it and claim it.

And so a Lady went behind the Man of God quietly (while the Man of God wasn’t watching), and she laid her hands on the head of the Man of God, wanting to say: I claim it!

The next thing that happened was that a Force (that nobody could see) took the Lady and threw her out of the window. One moment, she was seated in the Hall, laying hand on the head of the Man of God; the next moment, she was outside – thrown through the window!

… That is ANOINTING!

I’m praying for everyone of you (our Workers, our Ministers) and everybody reading on the label of DMC that, that kind of Anointing that the enemies can’t even touch, will be your portion, in Jesus’ Name – Amen!

Now when you have that kind of Anointing (like in the case of Elisha) – When you read 2 Kings 6:8-23; you find out that a King sent an Army to arrest a Man of God – One (1) Man of God: a whole Army to arrest a Man of God.

When they got to the Man of God; the Man of God arrested them!

… Now, that is Anointing!

That is the kind of “Anointed life” that I want you to live from now on – Amen!

You see, when you have the Anointing of God, it makes you More than a Conqueror.

Because, according to 1 John 4:4; the Bible says, little children, we have overcome!

It’s not talking about we are going to struggle and see who will win – it says we have overcome.

Why? – He said: Greater is He that is in you, than the one that is in the world!

You are not just an ordinary Champion; you are a “Divine Champion”.

WHY? – Because the Greater One is your Ally – and He is dwelling in you!

When you have this kind of Anointing; in Mark 16:17, it says you don’t even have to bother about demons – You just CAST them out!

… Open your mouth and COMMAND the demon, and the demon would GO!

With this kind of Anointing: With your relationship with the Almighty God; with the Ally with the Greater One living in you; the Bible says you don’t have to worry yourself about Herbalist, Witches and Wizards.

The Bible says in Isaiah 54:16-17; it says: There is no weapon fashioned against you that will Prosper.

… It just won’t Prosper!

In Isaiah 54:15; He even says: Even if they gang up against you, they will fall for your sake.

Deuteronomy 28:7 says: You don’t even have to do any fighting.

It says those who come against you, they will be SMITTEN before your face. They will come against you in one (1) way, they will FLEE seven (7) ways!

… And this is the TRUTH!

I have been through it, I know what I’m talking about. This is not just theory, this is Reality.

So you will become, Practically Impregnable; when you have the Anointing of God!

Now today, I want to talk to you; I want to show you the Truth, the Whole Truth and nothing but the Truth!

You cannot have this kind of privileges without certain Responsibilities.

And I want you to know that there is a MAJOR Challenges of – LIVING THE ANOINTED LIFE.

I will just share a little bit of it with you this Year (2020). If the Lord tarries, we may pick it up from there next Year (2021).

And what is that Challenge? – The Challenge is:

If your Ally departs – Because you are nothing on your own!

Everything you can achieve through the Anointing is simply because GOD IS WITH YOU!

That is why the Bible says: “If God be for us, who can be against us?”

But if the Ally DEPARTS, then, the story will change!

I mean like in Judges 16:4-21 – Delilah asked Samson “What is the Secret of your strength?” What can we do to you, so you can become like an ordinary man? What is the Secret?

And when Samson finally opened his mouth, and told her the Secret, and the enemies moved in – The Bible says when Samson got up and said, I will go out as before;

… He did not know that God had already DEPARTED from him.

I Pray for everyone of you today; that the Almighty God will NEVER depart from you – Amen!

HOW CAN GOD DEPART?

Because there are some people who would tell you: No, No! God can NEVER depart. It doesn’t matter how you live, He would just stay.

… Deep yourself in sin, don’t worry yourself. Grace will just take care of that.

That is not what the Bible says: Do not continue in sin and expect Grace to abound.

I’m going to tell you some of the ways that could cause your Ally to DEPART.

1. According to John 15:1-7 – IF YOU ARE NOT FRUITFUL.

Jesus Christ Himself said: I am the Vine, you are the branches. If you are not bearing fruit, it’s my Father Himself who will plug you away!

If you are not bearing fruits: If you are not wining Souls; if you are just occupying space – It is God Himself who would remove you!

And according to the Word of God that I just mentioned; when He removes you, you will DRY UP, and end up in the Fire!

… May that not be your Portion in Jesus Name – Amen!

So if you say you are a Worker, you are a Minister; and you look back, and a whole year has gone by and you haven’t won a single – Watch Out!

Watch out: you are walking on a very “Dangerous Ground”.

… How else could He leave?

2. Revelation 3:15-16; God said, if you want to be cold, be cold. If you want to be hot, be hot!

If you are Lukewarm, He says ‘I will vomit you out of my mouth”.

Oh! There will be those who will tell you, don’t worry yourself, if He vomits you out, He could reconcile with you.

Are you saying that God will return to His vomit? (Laughs!) – Only dogs return to their vomit.

So make up your mind straight away – If you are lukewarm: there are some of you Workers, some of you Ministers, who are Lukewarm – And it shows!

It shows in the way you Pray, it shows in the way you even say Amen (when we Pray), it shows in the way you shout Hallelujah, it shows in the way you behave during Praise and Worship.

If you don’t want to do anything for God, GET OUT OF THE WAY!

He says He doesn’t mind it if you are Cold. But He prefers that you are HOT.

He says if you aree Lukewarm: out you go!

Ah! Those ones are easy for you to know; easy for you to say well – We know that already, Daddy.

But there is one (1) I want to focus on for the next few minutes; that you might not be very, very aware of. And that is;

3. If you are lying.

Revelation 21:8, wrote a list of people that the Almighty God says would never enter into His Kingdom.

And He included LIARS!

In Psalms 101:7, He said: Liars will not tarry in My sight.

Oh! Some of you think that there are some lies – White lies, Black lies, Business lies, et cetera.

God says: I will not be an Ally to a Liar!

Oh! You say: Why would God hate Lies so much?

Well, just check examples from the Scriptures.

Check what happened in 2 Kings 5:20-27 – What happened to Gehazi?

Why was his punishment so severe?

He lied against the Man of God to Naaman; he lied to the Man of God when he returned.

… And he got Leprosy straightaway!

Oh! Some people say – that is in the Old Testament.

Well, what about in the New Testament?

Acts 5:1-11; Ananias, Saphira, you know them!

They sold a piece of land, brought part of the money to the Apostles; and told them – this is ALL!

And you know the results – Both of them died the same day!

STOP LYING!

Don’t lie in any form whatsoever.

And don’t put your signature in a Report you know that is false.

WHY WOULD GOD HATE LYING SO BADLY?

Because, the basic distinction between God and the devil is LYING.

You want me to prove that to you?

Well, John 8:44 – The Bible says the Devil is not just a liar, but he is the father of lies!

If I want to summarize everything about the Devil – He is a liar!

Whereas, in Numbers 23:19; it is written that: God is not a man that He should lie.

In John 14:6; Jesus Christ said – I Am the Way, the TRUTH …

So how do we know the difference between a child of God, and a child of the devil?

Very simple – The child of God tells the truth at all times; and the child of the devil would tell lies!

In that Passage, John 8:44; the Bible says: He was a liar, and the father of lies.

So the next time you are tempted to lie, tell yourself: ‘I am no longer the child of the devil’.

Lies, no matter how little will cause the Almighty God to stay away. from you.

Now it will interest you to know that Lies is not just one fellow born by one mother; It has a brother, it has a sister.

The brother is called HYPOCRISY.

1 Timothy 4:1-2; tells us a clear way of knowing a backslider. It says they speak lie in Hypocrisy.

You want to check whether you are a backslider or not?

Just look back the past one (1) Month:

How many times have you lied? How many times have you done something hypocritically?

The danger of Hypocrisy: Presenting White as Black or even presenting it as Grey; is SEVERE!

If you read Job 8:13; The Bible says: “The hope of the Hypocrite shall perish.”

… That is frightening!

Job 20:5; the Bible says: ‘The Joy if the Hypocrite is for a moment”.

… That is frightening! (Job 20:5)

And even more frightening is Job15:34. It says: “The Congregation of the Hypocrite shall be desolate”.

Watch it my brother; watch it my sister – Stop being Hypocritical.

And then, the Sister of lie (laughs!) is called FLATTERY.

And another word for flattery of course is called EXAGGERATION.

… Calling someone what he’s not. Presenting facts that are not Accurate.

Proverbs 26:28 says: “A lying tongue hates those afflicted by it”.

… A Liar is someone who afflicts!

And it says: “A flattery mouth worketh ruin.”

… Very frightening!

And then: WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO FLATTERERS? – People who exaggerate!

Job 17:5 (it’s very frightening!) It says that: If you flatter your friend, you are not the only one who will suffer for it! It says even your children shall be punished.

Oh! How did it say it?

It says: “He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.”

And so, you might think it’s a small thing when you flatter, when you exaggerate – No, No, No; it’s much more terrible than that!

In Job 32:22; the Bible says: “The flatterer will die young”.

… Don’t Flatter, Don’t Exaggerate; say things exactly as they are – It is Crucial.

Psalms 12:3 says: “The Lord Himself will cut off all flattering lips.

… The Lord will cut off ALL flattering lips!

You don’t want to joke with all these things.

Now the Question is:
WHY IS THE MOUTH THE ISSUE?

Because it t is with the mouth that you are so Hypocritical about things; it is with the mouth that you flatters, it is with the mouth that you exaggerate.

Why? – Why is this issue of how you mouth?

It’s because your mouth is so crucial, I have to bring you urgently.

You see, Proverbs 18:21 says: “Death and life are in the Power of tongue,”

Because when you are Anointed, the Anointing goes all the way, including into your Tongue.

… So what you say, can kill. What you say can make Alive!

Can you imagine a liar trying to cast out demons!

A Liar, a child of the devil (laughs!) trying to tell demons to come out.

The demons would says: ‘But we are children of the same father’

With your Mouth, when you are Anointed, you can Decree and Curses would be destroyed. And curses would become a Blessing!

In 2 kings 2:19-22 – The sons of the Prophet said to Elisha, the land is looking beautiful. But there are problems. Yes there is barrenness, our water is poisoned.

He SPOKE!

After he said bring me salt in a new cruise, pour the salt to the source of the spring, et cetera.

He said: This water is HEALED from now on.

… He Spoke it out!

And the Bible says the water was healed unto this day, According to the words that Elisha Spoke.

The same Elisha, in this same Chapter – 2 kings 2:23-24; was being mocked by some children – They looked at him and called him the boneheaded man; and asked him to get out of town .

The Bible said, he turned and cursed them.

And immediately he spoke, two (2) she bears came out of the bush and killed forty two (42) children.

I’m sure for the rest of the life of Elisha, he must have regretted that incident. He should have dealt with his tongue, if he had known the Anointing upon his life.

Use your tongue to Heal not to kill.

Use the Anointing that God has deposited in you to do Good, not to do evil.

Use your tongue – your Anointed tongue to Win Souls.

So that when they hear the Message of the Gospel from you, they will willingly surrender.

Use your tongue to cast out demons, to Command the lame to walk. To Call the dead Back to life!

Stop Lying, stop Flattering, stop Exaggeration, Sing Praises to God, Pray without ceasing.

And if you can’t do any of these things; Keep your mouth shut!

That is why you find that those who are really, really Anointed of God; except they are Preaching, except they are Praying, except they are Worshipping God – They are always QUIET people!

You won’t find them talkative, because they know that: If they misuse their tongues, the Almighty God will DEPART.

So what is going to be your Prayers now?

In Psalms 141:3; David CRIED unto God and said: “Set a WATCH, O LORD, before my mouth; KEEP THE DOOR OF MY LIPS.”

The next time I want to lie, Almighty God, shut my mouth! Don’t let it open to speak a Lie.

So there are some great Men of God, who used to be used mightily of God; and they are now a shadow of what they used to be.

Check – They began to exaggerate, saying that they are greater than they were! They began to LIE; a little bit of Hypocrisy here and there!

Before you know it, the Power is gone!

I’m going to Pray for you now. And when I finished Praying for you, I would ask you:

1. Ask for His Mercy for LIES you have ever lied;
2. And to tell the Almighty God to help you; from now on, NEVER to tell another Lie; NEVER AGAIN to Exaggerate; NEVER AGAIN to be Hypocritical;
3. And then, PRAY in the SPIRIT as often as you can.

You see, when you are Praying in the Spirit, it is the HOLY SPIRIT Praying through you.

And when the Holy Spirit is in control of your Tongue, it would become impossible to Lie.

… Let us BOW our heads!

CLOSING PRAYER

My Father and my God I want to Thank You for Your Words. Thank You as usual for the courage to say it as it is.

I Thank You for these Divine Champions of Yours; that You are raising up all over the world.

Champions that will cast out demons, Champions that will neutralise poison, Champions that will heal the sick and raise the dead (just by saying so!)

Please, my Father and my God, if any of them have been lying in the past; forgive today. Oh Lord please, Forgive today.

As many of them as would say, from now on, No more Lying, no more Exaggeration, no more Flattering, no more Hypocrisy; Please, my Father and my God, Restore them to full Fellowship.

And I Pray Lord God Almighty, that Your Anointing upon them would last forever.

I Pray that these children will begin to live a Highly Anointed Life!

So that very soon I will begin to hear Mighty Testimonies from all over the world; as Your children begin to command the dead to rise, as they command the Lame to Walk, and they command demons to flee.

As they begin to get Mighty, Mighty Results when they go out witnessing. Please, so let it be!

I Pray that together in Your Kingdom we will be there to reign with You!

Thank You my Father! Glory be to Your Holy Name.

For in Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – AMEN!

Praise ye the Lord – Hallelujah!
