The purpose of the anointing Upon

BANKOLE DADA·

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the holy ghost and power and he went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil Acts10:38

God is the one who anoints us and the verse above shows the purpose of the anointing upon us. It is for us to do good and not necessarily for good to be done to us. Someone made a joke that i resonate with. He said Jesus used the anointing upon to feed the five thousand in his days but that it seems nowadays that it is the thousand that feeds the prophet these days.

Sometimes we see on telly people with the “anointing” using it for purposes beyond doing good to the oppressed and not necessarily making the lives of the oppressed better. I am aware that Jesus had people who ministered to him physically and helped him in ministry. But nowhere was it ever mentioned of him making a demand of people before delivering or changing their circumstance. The woman with the issue of blood had no offering, Neither did the ten lepers, The team of apostles and other helpers were there to make the work of the ministry more efficient and ‘sweet’. Jesus gave freely by the anointing upon. We are called to do the same.

Dear people of God - our purpose as ministers is to do good and not necessarily for good to be done to us. We are accountable to God and not to man. Our purpose is not to be served but to serve as Jesus demonstrated when he washed the feet of the disciples. We carry the anointing so that we can carry those in need of it. The holy ghost is the power house of God and his ability is embedded in God’s word. His purpose is in parallel with the word of God. People are like sheep that need to be guarded and guided to victory with the help of the anointing upon us. They are not to be milked, sheared or cooked. They are to be kept for the use of the master, the head of the church, the one who called us to do his will. Jesus the anointed one.

Keep the faith, see your purpose, strive for excellence and build the body. He is watching you be his hands and feet, a voice and a force.

Its all in the anointing...be a blessing with the anointing. Pleas the father

Asking the right questions - no matter your circumstance - can open the right doors.

Peter was a seasoned fisherman. The sea was his turf, his bread and butter.

He knew when the fish were available for the taking.

Jesus changed his thinking with a law of love and faith in the supernatural.

Then came the day they were in a storm. Storms was Peter's thing. He knew from experience this present storm was a killer and they needed to get to land asap.

Suddenly they see something or was it someone waking on the water - they were more used to seeing someone drowning or asking for help.

Naturally, fear and experience crept in. Best to scream and cry in fear.

To make matters worse, the walking 'spirit' consoled them and asked them not to be afraid (yeah, right, in the midst of a storm and with a walking 'spirit'. Twice in a day can really alleviate your fears. Innit.

However in the cowering, screaming and shouting (these were grown and experienced fishermen) Peter asked a life changing question borne out of His inquisitiveness and affirmation in the divinity of Jesus.

To confirm it was Jesus as the spirit said. Peter asked. Bid me come on the water if it is you.

To this Jesus said a word....."COME'

Out of the ashes of fear, a storm, a walking spirit, men crying for help and holding on to dear life. Peter ALONE walked on the water. No one followed him, no one asked the same question, No one pulled Peter's robe to tag along.

Ask the right questions today. God is your father and his relationship has benefits and promises to be lived upon.

No matter your storm or circumstance, Jesus alone can make you walk on the water! All thats missing is that ingredient of faith Peter expressed in inquisitive word.

Keep your questions right before Jesus. He always has an answer that can transform your life

About her

She totally rocks my world
Her smile makes me smile
Her embrace keeps me sane
from the madness of the world

She is my wife and my sole mate
My angel and my defence
The one i plan to spend the rest of my life with
My beautiful gal
Given by the divine.
To make my life divine

Every waking day
I am grateful for your friendship
your smile, your sweet words
and encouragement

I will always love and cherish you
My love

And so Amazon has another outage

And so Amazon has another outage

Cloud is supposed to be the new normal
Promises of being up 24/7/365
No outage whatever
And even if it happens, customers are promised
no loss of data or business value

However lately Amazon has done it again
An outage somewhere in North America
lingering for about 5hours

Businesses must have been affected
Mindsets must have been formed
Cloud isn't ever supposed to go down
But down it went

So Amazon, whats the way forward
Are we supposed to invest in a multi cloud strategy
To have the best of both worlds.

I am not sure businesses can afford that, but that seems to be the way forward
More money to keep my business alive

Nay Amazon, keep us going
Get the outages out of the way
Get your cloud right

We can win

Someone said that worry is imaginations abused
It is an effort that takes you nowhere

Pretty much like a rocking chair that doesn't move

Cease from worry
Move on to better things

We can win

Barcelona on our minds

Barcelona,

The land of peace and great football
Never in seventeen years has there been a cause for violence

All that was swept away in an instant madness.
My mind is on you,
You are in my thoughts

There will always be people who think otherwise
and believe their energies can be expressed through the
destruction of the innocents and others

But through this you, Barca, will remain strong

Its happened in London and some other big cities
But together we will remain strong, unmovable
and continue with our lives

Freedom of expression will outlast every other things
Because that is the best for everyone.

To those we lost
We pray, strength for the families
To be strong in this trying times

Barcelona on our minds today

Our lost identity to technology this days

On the internet i can be what i choose to be

I could be a name, a slang or a special number
I don't need to be seen to be heard
I can chat intimately with total strangers.
I can create a false profile and deceive others

There is no relationship
No seeng face to face,
No chatting over tea or coffee.
Just some internet chat room needed

More than a number, but a person for real

We need to become human again
Talk to people we can see
Friends we can feel
And not some chat room filled with deception
Not deception over social media

Celebrities flaunting falsehood
Deception on every side
people livid with falsehood
Mentors who are at the brink of disaster.

We need a place of respect and mutual understand
We need to be ourselves.
Not a number or a code.
Not an email account or a buzz word

But a realistic person with flesh and blood flowing through us.
