YOU ARE ANOINTED AND POWERFUL

”But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.” Acts 27:14 (KJV)

While I do not have anything against professional advice, it cannot always be the final basis for our decisions. Popular opinion is not always correct. Experience may sometimes fail you. Convenience may not be the best route. The just shall live by faith which is what the word of God is saying.

In the account document in the book of Acts chapter 27, the centurion chose to go by popular opinion and what happened? Not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind called Euroclydon. The enemy hit them hard to the point that they lost almost everything.
The only thing that sustained them was that Paul was inside the boat. If Paul was not inside the boat they would have all drowned.

Beloved, you are anointed and powerful. Certain things will not take place because of you. There is certain destruction that will not happen because of who you are. So you must begin to function in the reality of God’s Word. It sets you apart amongst evil. It makes you. What you carry defines you and makes you unique. It makes you a special person and it makes you untouchable. It makes people begin to look at you differently. Suddenly, the same Paul that they didn’t want to listen to now became the captain. He became the one speaking at that place. They will hear your voice!

The challenges of this end-time will not destroy you. Every situation you are facing is a stepping stone to greater glory. You will experience greater glory in your family, in your finance, in your academics, in your marital life, in your ministry and your health. No power of darkness will cut your life short.  You will not end up in shame. The favour of God will lift you. The favour of God will open doors for you. The favour of God will increase you on every side. Every word that God has spoken over your life that is still hanging shall come to pass. I release you as a sign and a wonder to your generation.
