The Hundredfold Anointing
Do you want the hundredfold anointing
upon your life? Let us see what the word of God has to say about how we can get
the hundredfold anointing.
Luke 8 tells about the parable of the
sower. The sower sows his seeds and his seeds fell on different types of ground
such as rocky ground, thorny ground and good ground. Of all the seeds that were
sown only those that fell on good ground yielded a hundredfold in crop!
“But others fell on good ground,
sprang up, and yielded a crop a hundredfold.” Luke 8:8
Luke 8:15 “But the ones that
fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and
good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.”
So there are 2 key conditions to
achieve the hundredfold anointing:
1. Having a good and noble heart
2. Patiently keeping the word of God
in our hearts & yielding to it so that we can bear the fruit of Christlikeness in our lives!
Isaac is an e.g of a man who fulfilled the above conditions.
Isaac went down to Gerar and God
spoke to him not to go down to Egypt but to stay in the land for a while. Gen 26:3 “Stay in this land for a while, and I
will be with you and will bless you….”
Gen 26:6 “So Isaac stayed in Gerar”
His heart was good and noble because he obeyed God’s word not to go down to Egypt.
Gen 26:6 “So Isaac stayed in Gerar”
His heart was good and noble because he obeyed God’s word not to go down to Egypt.
He also kept God’s word patiently by
sowing in the land to which he was called. In fact the blessing came after a
year of keeping God’s word.
Gen 26:12 “Isaac planted crops in
that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold because the Lord blessed him.”
Of course nowadays we don’t plant crops like Isaac but we do work and receive
our gaji and give to God a portion of what we earn.
Paused for a while and consider,
would Isaac have achieved the same hundredfold blessing if he had gone on to
Egypt? The answer is obvious isn’t it?
Isaac would not have achieved the 100-fold blessing promised if he had disobeyed
the word the Lord and gone down to Egypt.
Just like Isaac we have heard God’s
word to stay in our local church and to sow our finances into the work of the Lord in this
place so let us do so in faith!
God has spoken to you to stay, to sow,
to give, to grow and to contribute not just your finances but also your time,
talents, energy and resources into the work of the Lord in this place.
