CHRIST CHOSEN DISCIPLES: A GENUINE ANOINTING OF GOD IS A DIRECT ASSES TO THE HOLY SPIRIT. TO BE ANOINTED BY GOD AND TO HAVE A DIRECT LINK TO THE HOLY SPIRIT, ONE HAS TO BE PURE HEARTED. BECAUSE THE HOLY SPIRIT NEEDS A CONDUCIVE ENVIRONMENT TO FUNCTION. BUT WHEN THE ANOINTED BECOMES PRIDEFUL, THE TEMPLE OF GOD IN SUCH INDIVIDUAL BECOMES DECIMATED. THEREFORE, THE PROMISES AND COVENANTS OF GOD ON SUCH INDIVIDUAL BECOME VOID. AND SUCH INDIVIDUAL IS NOTHING BUT A NUISANCE AND BLEMISH TO THE CHURCH (1 SAMUEL, 16:-14) ROMANS, 12:-3 “FOR BY THE GRACE GIVEN ME, I SAY TO EVERYONE AMONG YOU NOT TO THINK OF HIMSELF HIGHLY THAN HE OUGHT TO, BUT TO THINK WITH SOBER JUDGEMENT, ACCORDING TO THE MEASURE OF FAITH THAT GOD HAS ASSIGNED.” DISOBEDIENCE IS ANOTHER WAY THAT LEADS TO SELF DESTRUCTION. KING SAUL WAS ANOINTED BY GOD THROUGH PROPHET SAMUEL AS KING IN ISRAEL. (1 SAMUEL, 10:-1-9) BUT HE DISOBEYED GOD AND BECAME AN EMPTY MAN. IN CONCLUSION: WE ARE TO REMAIN STEADFAST IN OUR FAITH IN CHRIST, THAT WE DON’T LOSE OUR INDIVIDUAL ANOINTING AND RUBBISH OUR CALLING. BECAUSE PRIDE IS A PERFECT RECIPE FOR FAILURE.
