Has Christ rubbed off on you?
March 3rd, 2008 — Sidharth MohandasWhy was Jesus anointed?….to preach the Gospel, to proclaim freedom for those held captive, to restore sight to the blind, to deliver those who are oppressed and to proclaim the favor of the Lord.
Acts 10:38 confirms this: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how He went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with Him.
What was Jesus anointed with? the Holy Spirit and power.
Before Jesus sent His disciples to be witnesses, He asked them to wait in Jerusalem to receive this anointing. He said, Ye shall receive power after the Holy Spirit comes upon you [Acts 1:8]. The disciples did not continue with the ministry of Jesus till this happened.
Has Christ [The Anointed One] rubbed off on us today? We need to ask ourselves: Are we operating like Him? Is our life a form of godliness, but denying it’s power? If you haven’t received the Spirit baptism, I encourage you to seek God for the infilling of the Spirit. However, if you are one who has been baptized in the Spirit, I encourage you to continue to be filled in the Spirit and thus grow in the anointing.
