BIBLICAL MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES.
Chapter 3: THE ANOINTING TO LEAD.
The most important thing for leaders is to be anointed by the Holy Spirit. Without the anointing of God, you cannot effectively lead, organize, mobilize or evangelize. To anoint means to dedicate or consecrate someone or something by applying oir. Oil is symbolic of the Holy Spirit. The three anointings are:
-The leppers anointing : relationship.
-The priest’s annointing: holiness.
-The leader’s annointing: position and power.
The anointing is from God. It is God who raises up the anointed. The anointing for leadership comes from God. God does not anoint on the basis of intelligence, education, experience or abilities, outward appearance. The anointing is based on the attitude of the heart. God looks at what you are inside. The purposes of the anointing are to:
-Fulfill God’s purpose.
-Give wisdom to lead.
-Destroy the yoke.
-Determine position.
You are to minister in your own annointing or you will be ineffective and experience great difficulties in ministry. Ungodly forces want to hinder you because they know it is anointing ministry which accomplishes God’s purposes.
