NEVER STRANDED

Matthew 16:7-10 KJV
And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, out of the king's house: and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of the women.

When you pay close attention to Jesus, you will learn and understand the power and the benefit of the anointing. Most people use their anointing to settle their personal need or for fame and affluence but Jesus made use of it not only when it was needed but when it seemed they were about to be stranded. When He asked the disciples to be careful about the leaven of the Pharisees, they were thinking that He wanted them to buy bread. He reminded them of the times that he provided food for people who came to listen to the word of God twice where there was no food. On one occasion, He fed five thousand people with five loaves and at another time, He fed four thousand people with seven loves. He reminded them of the power of the anointing whereby with it, you can never be stranded. On those occasions, there was no food, but the yoke of lack and disappointment was broken by the power of the anointing.
There was even a time that they came to collect tax from Him but He paid it through the provision of the anointing.
Matthew 17:24,27 ESV
When they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax went up to Peter and said, "Does your teacher not pay the tax?" [27] However, not to give offense to them, go to the sea and cast a hook and take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find a shekel. Take that and give it to them for me and for yourself."
Beloved, there is security in the anointing. You can never be stranded when you are operating by the anointing. You should see that Jesus never used the anointing to acquire or accumulate wealth but used it whenever it was needed. The truth is that the reason many have not enjoyed this privilege is because they want to merchandise it or use it to acquire wealth. Jesus operated the anointing at important times and to solve problems and not to create illegal comfort. Your sincerity and genuineness in working by the anointing will determine the results you get in it. You can operate by this power through the power of prayer, sincere and unshakeable commitment to God and His will on earth. This is a privileged right in Christ. Take advantage of it by being serious with your spiritual life today.
