Acknowledgement. Assignment. Anointment.
WHAT DID MY LORD GOD SAY TO ME THIS MORNING?
In obedience, the On Assignment By God Blog, now has an audio feature where you can listen to this blog right here, or on your favorite podcast listening app!! Be sure to subscribe on the podcast app! Find us at On Assignment By God, for the podcast! Thank you for your prayers as I continue to be obedient and do what God says! Happy Listening!!
If you’re reading this or listening to this on podcast, then that means you are necessary. Yup! God woke us up this morning to do what is necessary on the earth for Him. You are apart of that. You were born with a purpose for a purpose. And that’s exactly how the Holy Spirit kicked off our conversation this Friday morning!
He said: “What I have assigned you to do, I have anointed you to do!”
I know for a fact He was reminding me of this because lately I have gotten caught up in other people doing things similar to what I am doing. He also said: “Don’t focus on what others are doing. Keep your eyes on Me and YOUR assignment!” Basically keep your eyes on your own paper Fon! There will always be other people doing things similar to you. Other people may have similar assignments but they won’t have YOUR UNIQUE assignment. They can’t be you because I made them different from you and you’re different from them. That’s why it’s important to listen to Me everyday and not watch them every day. Keep your eyes on Me, not them!!
As I was writing down what I heard the Holy Spirit saying to me, I knew He was right. That means I have to guard my eyes and ears and focus on MY ASSIGNMENT because truth be told, I have been stumped by a few things I have seen lately with people doing things that I know the Lord has called me to do. The Holy Spirit said, stop looking at them. That’s a distraction. Stay in your lane and keep your eyes on the road I have you on. Do YOUR work Fon (insert your name here too).
Then Holy Spirit took me on a trip down memory lane with this one. He said: Remember every time you just did the work I blessed it? Do you remember? Get out of your head and into My Way of doing things. And to learn My Way, you have to study My Word. Look in the Bible for My Way. Every day, seek to learn one new thing about Me and how I operated here on earth!
Y’all, do you see now how Holy Spirit gives ME assignments? That was a new assignment: Every day, learn one new thing about Him and how He operated on the earth!! So I have acknowledged the assignment, written down the assignment, and now it’s time to execute the assignment.
Interestingly enough, yesterday I was watching a really good Instagram Live with two pastors and one of the things that was stated was that Jesus didn’t rush anywhere. See I had no clue the Holy Spirit was going to give me this new assignment today, but you see how He already gave me an example of how to DO THE ASSIGNMENT? It makes me think about my kids schoolwork. When they are taught something new, examples are given to help them learn and understand. That’s the same way Holy Spirit works. When He gives us an assignment to do, He gives us an example! And guess what? HE IS THE EXAMPLE! (cue shouting)!!
STUDY THE EXAMPLE SO YOU THAT YOU WILL KNOW HOW TO COMPLETE THE ASSIGNMENT!!!
(I added this quote after I recorded the podcast because I didn’t want my blog readers to miss it) LOL!
As I wrap up today, I was thinking about the title for this message. I often try to come up with titles that summarize the post, but today, three words came to my mind: Acknowledgement. Assignment. Anointment.
When we acknowledge our Lord and Savior as first in our lives, we receive the assignment and the anointment to carry it out His way.
And yes I had to look up the word anointment because I was like..is that a word Lord? And it is. It is synonymous with anointing which is exactly what the Holy Spirit said first thing to me: What I have assigned you to do, I have anointed you to do.
