Open Heaven For Teens Wednesday 14 July 2021 Daily Devotional was written by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

TOPIC: Anointed For Success

MEMORISE: How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. Acts 10:38

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 13-16, Acts 18:1-28

READ: Luke 4:18-20

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

MESSAGE:

The anointing is the Holy Spirit in action. God manifests His power and carries out His plans through the anointing. You may think you don’t need the anointing because you don’t intend to be a pastor. Well, you need the anointing to fulfill your destiny. You also need it to withstand the wiles of Satan who is already recruiting his end time armies among young people; if you don’t want to fall victim of his schemes, you must get the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Isaiah 10:27 says

“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.”

The Bible passage above shows that one may not be able to overcome some life’s struggles or curses without the anointing. That is why I decree as your spiritual father, that by reason of the anointing of God upon my life, every yoke of the enemy holding you down is destroyed in Jesus mighty name. Amen!

PRAYER POINT: Father, pour Your anointing upon me afresh today.

HYMNS: BREATHE ON ME BREATH OF GOD

Breathe on me, Breath of God,
fill me with life anew,
that I may love what Thou dost love,
And do what Thou wouldst do.

Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Until my heart is pure,
Until with Thee I will one will,
To do and to endure.

Breathe on me, Breath of God;
Till I am wholly Thine,
Until this earthly part of me
Glows with Thy fire divine.

Breathe on me, Breath of God,
So shall I never die,
But live with Thee the perfect life
Of Thine eternity.
