- May God Steward Your Anointing To Arrest Wickedness
- Scripture: Genesis 38:1-7
In Genesis 38:1-7 we find that Joseph’s family was having extreme difficulty. We are familiar with Judah. and we know the tribe of Judah was significant because it was King David’s tribe, the tribe that was destined to rule. These verses reveal there was tremendous sin in the camp of Judah. Verses 6-7 say Judah took a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar. But Er was wicked in the sight of the Lord and the Lord killed him. That had to cause major grief in a family, especially in a family with a significant call on their lives. Judah had the call of God on his life and I\’m sure they were rejoicing at the wedding, but it did not take long for that joy to fade. Tragedy struck the family and God ended Er’s life. But that tragedy was not over because there were choices to be made about covenant. How would they deal with those choices? The Bible is not silent about man’s choices and God\’s responses. God did not hesitate to kill the wicked even in the tribe that brought forth the Messiah. In this present hour will we see God move in judgment on the wicked as He did in Scripture? I believe the fact that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever guarantees it! The still, small voice that directed Elijah released the anointing to penalize wickedness. 1 Kings 19:17, where Elijah was anointing leaders to fill His shoes, it states, “It shall be that whoever escapes the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill, and whoever escapes the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill.” God answered Elijah by telling him who to anoint and that each one would kill the wicked! Elijah’s pinnacle prophetic event was the killing of the prophets of Baal. He stewarded God’s anointing to arrest wickedness and those who were promoting it! Revelation promises a restoration of the judicial anointing to arrest a flood of evil!
- “He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he (God) had promised, he was able also to perform, And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.”
- Pray you will Not stagger at the promises of God.
