Isaiah 61:1
The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
You have been anointed! Yes, you! The day you said yes and accepted Jesus Christ as your personal savior you became anointed by the Lord. His Spirit became a part of you and you a part of Him.
We must remember a statement Popularized by Spiderman’s Uncle Ben,“With great power comes great responsibility.” Our anointing comes with great responsibility. It is our job to bring the gospel to others. And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15). In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven (Matthew 5:16).
We are the hands and feet of God. Through us He will proclaim good news to the poor. He will bind the brokenhearted, proclaim freedom for the captives and release the prisoners from the darkness. Are you ready to share God to the world? He will give you the power when you are ready for the responsibility.
Lord, I am thankful you chose me before I even knew You. With Your power I want to share You with the world. ~amen
