*ANOINTED AND DIVINELY ENABLED*
_(That Same Anointing Is In You)_
*TO THE BIBLE:*
*Matthew 16:13-16*
_“When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, ‘Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?’ So they said, ‘Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’ He said to them, ‘But who do you say that I am?’ Simon Peter answered and said, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’_
*LET’S TALK*
Tyler: *“How did Jesus do all those miracles?”* Mary: *“It’s because the Holy Spirit came on Him and anointed Him. And guess what? The same Holy Spirit is in you now.”*
The word *“Christ”* is from the Greek word *”Christos,”* which refers to the Messiah or the anointed One, and His anointing. So contrary to what some folks believe, *“Christ”* isn’t Jesus’ surname; rather, it refers to the anointing that makes Him who He is. That anointing empowered Him supernaturally for His earthly ministry.
Remember, though He was Himself God, He ministered as the Son of man while He was on earth. But the anointing came into His life when the Holy Spirit came upon Him at the River Jordan (John 1:32-33), and that was when He became *“the Christ.”* He didn’t perform a single miracle until the anointing of the Holy Spirit came upon Him and made Him *“the Christ.”* That anointing gave Him the ability to do the mighty works He did.
Acts 10:38 says, *“…how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.”* And just like Mary told Tyler, that same anointing came into you when you received salvation. The Holy Spirit lives in you. That means you’re not ordinary. You’ve been divinely enabled. So, when you face exams, peer pressure, insecurity, or tough situations, remember you carry supernatural ability on the inside. Glory to God!
*GO DEEPER*
*John 20:31* But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
*John 6:69* And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
*PRAY*
_Dear Father, thank you for granting me the revelation of Jesus as the Christ. I also thank you for helping me realise that the same anointing that made Jesus the Christ is at work in me; therefore, I have the inherent supernatural ability to effect changes and do great things, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._
