I think with this article I’m going to get straight to the point. God anoints people to do His works with the help of the Holy Spirit throughout this world. Each person has a different thing they do, but the key is God is the only One who can provide the anointing to do it and to get the intended godly results.
I know some people may feel that if they have enough money, they can buy anything they want if the price is right especially if they are buying something that will give them a better appearance than what and who they really are. The anointing, however, is NOT for sale. No matter how spiritual or holy you think you are or what position you may hold in the body of Christ, you must NEVER forget that the anointing on your life is not for sale.
When you are in a position that other people look to you for guidance, they will automatically trust what you say and what you announce, because these people believe you have heard from God and are speaking on behalf of God. Therefore, you can’t force something to happen in your life or ministry just because you want to keep up with the “Joneses.” If you feel this way or are experiencing pressure to be like everybody else, it is imperative that you first check your source. Maybe just maybe what God has given you to do (however big or small) is because that’s all you can handle?
One thing for sure is that you will NEVER be able to force God to do something or to show up at your forced event just because you say so. Don't get me wrong God is always with you wherever you go, BUT God does NOT perform on command either. See the moment you have to force something to happen the way you want it too or to please others, there is an automatic disclaimer line built into the fine print that says failure is inevitable. If you have to take these extra steps just to let people know who you are, then you are NOT being authentic. Has it really come to this that you are going to allow other people around you to talk you into lowering your spiritual standards? You know you are uncomfortable doing this, so why are you doing it? See these people around you have a planned goal which is to make everything very comfortable and easy for you. They are quick to tell you not to worry, and they will take care of everything so that you can go on with your life. Before long, nothing looks like the vision God has given you. Instead, what God has built through you now looks more like the people that take care of everything for you.
It is disappointing to even think that the anointing on your life could be purchased. When it appears as though you have to buy things to make you look better or to become more popular, this is a clear indicator that you have a crack in your armor and that’s all the entry way the enemy needs. Heed this final warning, because the real issue is to replace you and takeover what God has built through you. Be cautious and NOT “insta” anointed. The Bible is clear that the gospel is profitable (2 Timothy 3:16-17) on its own merits without enhancements, so you can be sure the gospel is NOT for sale which leaves the question, "Why are you allowing your anointing to be?"
