Chapter One

Types of Anointing Part 1

Concept and Definition of Anointing: It is easy to see or say what the anointing can do than to try to say what it is. The word to anoint in Hebrew (Masah) means to smear, consecrate. First found in Gen. 31:13

Gen 31:13: I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred

It portrays the idea of smearing, spreading on or across a sticky or oily material on something or somebody. There are many Greek words used variously but we will stand by such that relates to our subject. Anointing means to rub with oil, to paint or consecrate. Rubbing on of something on somebody (John 9:6,11). Like sort of some Holy Spirit presence or power enveloping, touching, incubating or brooding over, moving upon (Gen. 1:26), overshadowing (Acts 5:15) somebody or something to affect (cause change, influence) and effect (produce result). It can be the manifestation of the Holy Spirit power or presence. The Holy Ghost anointing or presence can be likened sometimes and somehow to an electrically charged environment or field which affects positively or negatively whatever falls along its pathway. The effects sometime can come strong or heavy in a situation i.e. there can be varying measures manifested.

- Anointing also can be Fresh (Psalm 92:10) in the sense that anointing of yesterday will not be enough or depended upon for today’s service. Old anointing of yesteryears will not do for the work of the present. That is to say we should always look for a refreshing and refilling. It is said that the only way a broken vessel will remain filled is to remain under a running tap.

- Anointing comes upon that which is in obedience to the revealed will of God.

- During the Old Testament times, the earlier leaders ( from Melchizedek to Samuel) operated on a full triple anointing as Priest, Prophet and King until Israel demanded for a king contrary to Gods will (1 Sam.8:6-8). Their rulers started ruling them with a partial anointing – only kingly anointing which put them in a lot of mess. Kingly anointing talks of authority and power while Priestly anointing depicts consecration and holiness. Later Rulers of Israel showed power and authority without Holiness. For example Saul offered sacrifices which only the Priest was supposed to (1 Sam. 13:8-14), operated where he has no anointing for. David’s strength was marred because of immorality with Bathsheba. Solomon’s time was marked with Idolatry and lack of holiness. In the New Testament even the Pharisaical Priest with priestly anointing and showy holiness lacked God’s power. Living outside God’s will.
