One drum of anointing oil on an empty head would only make an oily face. Fill your head and then the anointing would work.

We live in a world where people would go the extra mile just to get anointing oil from a "man of God" but won't spend 30minutes to build competency and master a skill.

Please note, I have no problem with anointing oil, in fact I was anointed yesterday at my church. However, I believe in equipping the mind so as make the anointing potent.

Scripture says, "how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with great power; and He went around doing good..."

The anointing you receive is to enable you function optimally. But how can you function when you haven't been equipped?
#irorospeaks #MondayMotivation

The anointing didn't just "fall" on Christ. Yes, He is the Son of God but while on Earth, He needed to be equipped for the anointing to be effective.

At age 12, He was already questioning theologians and professors. Those periods were his #incubatingstage. It would be unwise to pour water in a jar with no capacity.
#irorospeaks #MondayMotivation

At the time when he was well equipped for the assignment was when the anointing was impacted on him. It is significant to note that He had to be "pushed" to perform His first miracle.
#irorospeaks #MondayMotivation

When He was ready, the rest became history. He was confident enough to affirm “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing and in your presence" 
#irorospeaks #MondayMotivation

He didn't have to tell people He had been anointed, by the works of His hand, the people could see for themselves.

Also the first disciples had to undergo similar experience before the anointing could be activated. The times they spent with Christ was used to build their capacity to receive the anointing and then get results.

So beloved, success is beyond the drums of anointing oil that's poured on you. Invest in building your capacity and gifting.

Anointing is never a substitute for

* Work
* Planning
* Studying
* Development
* Actions

It's merely an enabler and an enhancer. It's like an amplifier.
#irorospeaks #MondayMotivation

The job of an amplifier is not to CREATE SOUND but to AMPLIFY sound created. On its own, an amplifier cannot generate sound. It is what you send to it that it will reproduce.
#irorospeaks #MondayMotivation

Similarly, anointing amplify whatever you're doing. An anointed LAZY man will remain a LAZY man as long as he doesn't put in the WORK.
#irorospeaks #MondayMotivation

So next time you're on the queue to get anointed, be sure to ask yourself, what do I intend to do next?

If you don't succeed, the anointing won't be held responsible for that.
#irorospeaks #MondayMotivation

In this new month, please do yourself and those who love you a favor. And focus on:

* Your personal development
* Develop a roadmap
