Anointed to Rule
UV 4293/10000 Anointed to Rule
This is what the Lord says to His anointed, to Cyrus ( king of Persia), whose right hand I have held to subdue nations before him, and I will ungird the loins of kings ( disarming them); To open doors before him so that gates will not be shut:
Isaiah 45 v 1
Those who are chosen by God are also anointed or equipped by Him. We are enabled by His grace and power to fulfill His purpose in our lives. He holds our right hand to empower us, to give us the authority, power and dominion over the nations. By virtue of his anointing or His authorization, we can strip kings of darkness and their earthly representatives in all nations of their defensive armour. We can disarm them of their weapons of destruction. The Lord will open doors before us that no man can shut. He will give us opportunities to demonstrate the power and authority of God on earth that no one can take away or block. We have a royal and eternal destiny like King Cyrus. Like King Cyrus saw himself as a servant king, who serves the living God, we are servant Kings in the order of Jesus Christ, the Anointed One. We are anointed or filled with the Holy Spirit to build God’s kingdom on earth like Cyrus was anointed to have the temple and Jerusalem re-built. The resources of heaven, the army of God is available to us for the fulfilment of our calling.
The Lord also promises to go ahead of His people and to remove the obstacles even if these be as large and seemingly insurmountable as mountains. Even the strongest of doors cannot withstand His power. He can reach through bronze doors to deliver hidden treasures into our hands. He calls us personally and by our first names like He called Cyrus even when the latter did not know anything about the God of Israel. We have the advantage of knowing Him more fully thanks to the word of God which tells us in great detail who He is, what kind of person He is, the extent of His power and authority, His great love for those who trust Him.
Any demonic force or power that rises against us, we can subdue in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Some of these forces try to kill us or destroy or weaken us with our inner strongholds of fear or doubt. Some try to rob us, causing us hurt and inner injuries. Some try to steal from us subtly so that we are not even aware of it. The satanic array of forces though they number 666 threats, dangers, viles against us are no match for the sovereign power of God and that of His people. Since God’s presence surrounds us like a cloud, defends us like a fire, since He holds our right hand and guides us in all our important areas and decisions, we can be confident of victory over all the 666. If we take a year as having 365 days, an average of one to two kings of darkness attack us on a daily basis. We should know from this uni-verse that we can strip them of their armour, neutralize their power to harm us. Once we exercise our kingly authority delegated to us by the Lord God, their strongholds will come crashing down and they cannot come near us to steal us of our mental or emotional peace, affect our holistic health of spirit, mind or body, impact our finances, our reputation, our emotions, our relationships, our present or future or eternity.
