Anointing and consecration: the two legs of your calling

Does anyone here truly want to serve God? Do you want to walk in your calling to the end, without ever failing, betraying, or giving up? Then remember this: you need TWO THINGS. Not ten. Not a hundred. Two. Anointing. And consecration. These two are like a man’s two legs. Without them, you fall. Without them, your ministry fails. Without them, you might end up like Judas or Lucifer. Yes! Listen closely and ask yourself: am I deeply, irreversibly consecrated? Am I dominated by the anointing of God?

In Numbers 3:3, the Bible speaks of Aaron and his sons, the priests: “the ones who were ANOINTED and CONSECRATED to serve as priests.” That is the indispensable combo. Jesus Himself, the Son of God, did not begin His ministry until He had entered both dimensions. Luke 3:21 tells us that Jesus was praying during His baptism, and then, the Spirit descended upon Him like a dove. He was anointed. Then in Matthew 4, He is led into the wilderness to be tested, tried, purified. He was consecrated.

You want to preach? You want to touch the nations? You want to see miracles, conversions, churches filled? THEN GIVE YOURSELF COMPLETELY. Not halfway. All. All. All.

Seven truths about consecration

1. To be consecrated is to be irreversibly set apart. That means no going back. You don’t flirt with the world anymore. You don’t jump back and forth between ministry and business. You are set apart FOREVER. You sell yourself to Jesus!
2. To be consecrated is to be irreversibly devoted. Not just present, not just motivated, but consumed with passion. Not lukewarm – DEVOTED.
3. Consecration means being irreversibly dedicated. Say with me: I will never turn back! I will never go in reverse! I will never be a Judas! I will never be a Lucifer!
4. To be consecrated is to be irreversibly loyal! Even when it’s hard, even when you no longer understand, you stay loyal.
5. It is to be irreversibly committed. A son with a father. Someone trustworthy, faithful, stable. God is looking for committed people. Servants who start and then abandon – God does not want them.
6. Consecration is to be irreversibly sanctified. You fight sin, you flee lust, you refuse to give in to your passions. You oppose the flesh! You want holiness? Then fight for it!
7. Consecration is to be irreversibly honored. When God honors you with a calling, with anointing, then you must honor the calling in return! Consider it sacred. Respond with reverence. “I will be faithful to the honor of the call to evangelism and missions.”

And you, EJP? And you, pastor? And you, young woman, young man, are you consecrated or just a Sunday Christian? Are you deeply and irreversibly given?

When you are consecrated, you can receive the anointing

But listen well: we don’t want consecrated ministers without anointing. And we don’t want anointing without consecration either. Both must go together! The Bishop said it clearly: we are tired of seeing people actively involved but powerless. And we are disgusted by people who claim to be anointed but are not committed. You need both. Anointing and consecration. These are the two engines of a sustainable ministry.

Anointing is spiritual dominion. When you are anointed, you are dominated by this oil. Someone completely dominated by the Spirit. God wants to make you another Elijah in your generation. A man or woman who was despised yesterday, but whom no one will be able to ignore tomorrow! Today, some are called “little brothers”, “not important”, “they don’t even have a car,” but tomorrow through the anointing, they will lead mega spiritual structures! Do you want that? Then get ready to be ANOINTED. Get ready to be CONSECRATED.

Are you ready? Do you want to become another Elijah? Then go after the anointing like an eagle hunting its prey.

Ready at 20, exalted by anointing

Look in the Bible: every time God called someone to war, to ministry, to mission, He looked from the age of 20. Numbers 1 says it again and again: “from twenty years old and upward.” God doesn’t waste His time! If you’re ready for war, you’re ready for worship, for the priesthood, for teaching, for the mission. If at 20 you’re capable of having sex, then you’re also capable of preaching! Hey! Don’t look at me like that. At 20, some have more experience than 50-year-old prostitutes. So don’t say you are “too young to preach.” You can fight in the army? Then go into the army of the Lord! Ready at 20. Ready at 20. Ready at 20! If the devil recruits young people into depravity, God sends them into the nations!

Young Solomon was seeking God. Old Solomon was fleeing God. It’s time to release the young Solomons before they become old Solomons, influenced by women, compromise, and idols! When you are young, your love is pure. You still say “Baby”. “Sweetheart”. “My treasure”. But later? “Ma’am,” “Mother,” “First Lady,” “Queen Mother”… Hey! What will become of your love for Jesus? Will it remain a fresh love, a love of passion? If you still love Jesus passionately, then sing to Him, talk to Him, give Him everything.

Seven steps to entering the anointing

You want to be anointed? Jesus went through seven steps before the Spirit descended on Him like a dove.

1. He went to an anointed man. His man of God. John the Baptist. You too, go to your man of God. Anointing comes through divine relationships.
2. He submitted. Even though He was God! Even though He was perfect. He mingled with the crowd, with the other sinners.
3. He humbled Himself. He didn’t say, “Me, the Son of God, get baptized by my cousin John? He’s crazy?” No! He said: “Let it be so now, to fulfill all righteousness.”
4. Don’t be swayed by men. When John says, “Oh no, I can’t baptize you,” Jesus said, “Do it.” When people want to honor you instead of guiding you, refuse. When they want to flatter you instead of forming you, refuse.
5. Fulfill all that is right. Don’t skip spiritual protocols. Don’t be rebellious. Become legally established. Become trained. Blessed. Rooted.
6. Respect God’s timing. Jesus showed up on time. Just in time. Not too late. Not too early. The anointing is linked to divine timing.
7. Jesus was praying. Yes! He was praying during His baptism. He wasn’t faking. He wasn’t observing. He was praying. And the Spirit descended. You want the anointing? PRAY. Be a prayer warrior. Feed the altar of fire. It’s through prayer that the oil comes down. Not through applause. Not through business cards. Not through social media. Through prayer! Seven steps to the anointing. Grab them. Walk in them.

You want to be anointed? Then burn for God! You want the anointing to fall? Be in prayer and sacrifice! The flesh will not receive the oil. But consecration attracts the anointing. Honor attracts grace. And when the anointing falls on you, you become uncatchable. Untouchable. Irrevocable.

Let us pray together

Father, today I stand before You. I want to be deeply and irreversibly consecrated. I surrender my life, my plans, my limits. I desire the true anointing. The one that will make me faithful, that will make me effective, that will make me useful to You. Lord, I want to be ready at 20, at 30, at 50. I desire to burn with love for You, with a fire that never goes out. May Your Spirit descend upon me as it did on Jesus at the Jordan. Transform me. Use me. Anoint me. I belong to You, Lord. I am Yours, forever. Amen.

🙏 If you have never given your life to Jesus, pray this with faith:

Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I need You. I believe that You died for my sins and that You rose again. Today, I accept You as my Lord and Savior. Transform my life and fill me with Your Spirit. Amen.
