(You Received the Spirit Without Measure)
TO THE BIBLE: 1 John 2:27
“But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him”
LET’S TALK
Imagine a smartphone fully charged, sitting in your bag. You complain, ‘I have no battery!’ But when you check, it’s 100% charged. The power was there all along; you just weren’t aware. That’s how the anointing works in you—it’s always there, ready to function.
“I wish I had more light.” “Did you turn on the switch?” Power was always there, but awareness made the difference.
Some Christians think of the anointing as something that comes and goes, but that’s not your reality as a new creation in Christ.
The anointing of God abides in you permanently. It’s the presence and power of the Holy Spirit in you that equips you to function in the divine life.
In the Old Testament, the kings and priests were anointed with oil as a symbol of consecration. But in the New Testament, it’s different.
When you received the Holy Spirit, you received a person into your life. You received the fullness of the Spirit without measure, not in parts or degrees. You have the totality of God’s Spirit resident in you, with power.
You don’t need to ask for more anointing or more power from God. What you need is a greater consciousness of the One who lives in you. The more you’re aware of His presence, the more His graces and power function through you.
Stop waiting for the anointing to come; it’s already in you. That anointing teaches, guides, strengthens, and empowers you for success and impact, as read in our opening scripture. Walk in this consciousness every day.

YOU’VE GOT SUPERNATURAL ABILITY
(You’re Powered Beyond Limits)
TO THE BIBLE – Colossians 1:29 TLB
“This is my work, and I can do it only because Christ’s mighty
energy is at work within me.”
LET’S TALK
You need to know that there’s an ability working
in you, and that ability is supernatural! It doesn’t
burn out, and it doesn’t need replenishing. That means that
your physical ability should no longer hold you back or
dictate just how much you can do. Even when you feel tired,
overwhelmed with school, assignments, exams, or pressure
from friends, that ability is still active in you.
Haven’t you read how Samson defeated one
thousand trained soldiers of war with the jawbone of an
ass? He could never have done it with his physical ability,
no matter how good a fighter he was. The Spirit of God
came on him mightily, and he was divinely enabled; he was
energised to do superhuman things.
For us, it’s even better, because the supplier of that
divine energy, the Holy Ghost, lives in us. That means
our potentials are limitless! We’ve been energised for
the supernatural. Paul knew this for sure; that’s why he
wrote the words in our opening scripture for us. He calls
it “Christ’s mighty energy”; the King James Version calls it
“his working, which worketh in me mightily.” Glory to God!
God’s supernatural ability works in you mightily, helping
you achieve results that are beyond your age and physical
ability.
The Bible says, “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to
think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God” (2
Corinthians 3:5). The word translated “sufficiency” also means
“ability.” This means there’s a divine ability available to you,
and that ability is the power of the Holy Ghost at work in
you. If you’d take advantage of this divine ability, it’ll make a
difference at school and in whatever you do. You’ll go further,
faster and better than your physical ability can take you.

Zechariah 4:6; Philippians 4:13
Pray:
Dear Father, thank you for the supernatural ability working in
me through the Holy Spirit. I refuse to be limited by my natural
strength. I rely on your power in everything I do today, and I
achieve results beyond mental borders and human ability, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Act
Today, do one thing that usually feels difficult for you, like a
tough school task or speaking up in class, knowing His ability is
working in you.
