MEMORISE: Isaiah 10:27
“And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.”

OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY
Many people do not know how important the anointing is and so they despise it. I have seen situations in which some brethren refused to be ordained because they ignorantly thought that refusing the anointing that comes with ordination is a sign of humility. They could not be further from the truth.
Exodus 30:25 says, “And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil”.
From the Scripture above, we can safely deduce that there are different kinds of anointing. Today, we will discussing divine anointing which is holy and can only be gotten from God. This is the kind of anointing everyone should thirst and yearn for.
One of the reasons for divine anointing is service, according to Exodus 28:41. God commanded Moses to anoint Aaron and his children “that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office” (Exodus 28:41). Divine anointing seals promotion, as found in (1 Samuel 10:1). This is the case of Saul after he was divinely chosen to be the first king of Israel.
Promotion, particularly in spiritual assignments, takes greater responsibility which requires divine backing. In the RCCG, we ordain people in stages as they assume greater spiritual responsibility.
As we see in our memory verse today, divine anointing breaks yokes!
Divine anointing makes the impossible possible. Classic examples of divine anointing are when Samson tore a lion into two with his bare hands (Judges 14:5-6), and in (1 Samuel 17:33-36) that relates the exploits of David under divine anointing. He killed a lion and a bear after he had been anointed by Samuel. There is nothing a man under God’s anointing cannot do.
I therefore urge you to seek the anointing of the Holy Spirit today.
ACTION POINT:
Purge yourself of anything that could hinder the flow of divine anointing into your life today.
