Topic: Anointing of excellence and uncommon breakthroughs come upon our children and youths.
Texts: Isaiah 11:2, 54:13; 1 John 2:20, 27.
EXPOSITION:
Spirit of excellence is what any parent would wish and pray that his/her children have because with it, any child will go places; for such a child, it will be as written it Prov. 22:29 – “Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before mean (ordinary) men.” May God make it so for our children in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Concerning our Lord Jesus before his birth, it was prophesied: “And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord” (Isaiah 11:2). The spirits mentioned in this text are covetable, and so we covet them for our children and declare that the spirits will come upon them, and will manifest in their life pursuits and be permanent with them in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Further on this anointing of excellence, it is written in 1 John 2:20, “But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.” This is the type of anointing that was on young lads like Joseph and Daniel, anointing for excellence that cause them to know things unknown to mean men; Joseph with an excellent spirit interpreted Pharaoh’s dream and this fetched him uncommon breakthrough that transited him from prison to palace.
Daniel also, when he, with the anointing of excellence upon him gave meaning to king Darius’s dream, he was given due recognition and honour, and above all, the name of His God was exalted. This was what the king said: “I make a decree that in every dominion of my kingdom men must tremble and fear before the God of Daniel. For He is the living God, and steadfast forever; His kingdom is the one which shall not be destroyed, and His dominion shall endure to the end” (Daniel 6:26).
The anointing of excellent spirit that was on these young lads, causing them to make uncommon breakthroughs in their time will come upon our children and will cause them to make uncommon breakthroughs in their generation for the glory of God in the name of Jesus. Amen. God bless you SHALOM.
