TOPIC: WAYS BY WHICH PEOPLE JOIN THEMSELVES TO THINGS (2)

1 Timothy 3:15; Hebrew 12:22-24

We are still examining the various ways people connect themselves to things.

6. The Church, Calling, and Anointing: This is a vital avenue for joining yourself to divine purposes. Don’t merely think, “I like the teaching” when you attend church. While teaching is essential, it is not the central focus. What covenants underlie the church you are part of? 

Every called individual carries significant covenants. When you attend church, recognize that you are connecting to an anointing. For instance, Elisha linked himself to Elijah and received a double portion of his anointing, while Timothy aligned himself with Paul, awakening the apostolic destiny within him. We must actively participate in church life, embracing the covenants, the anointing, and the teachings that are shared.

The church is inherently spiritual. Jesus declared, “On this rock, I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matt. 16:18). These gates of hell manifest as the devil's wisdom and manipulations, seeking to overpower individuals on Earth. Yet, God promises, “I will build my church on this rock…” What is this rock? It is the revelation of God's truths, the very keys to the Kingdom.

To truly join with the church, we must engage with its spiritual mission, allowing ourselves to be shaped by the anointing and covenants present within it. This means moving beyond being a mere spectator; we must become active participants, allowing the Holy Spirit to flow through us.

PRAYER: Declare over yourself, “Premature death can’t join itself to me, ancestral failure can’t join itself to me. I will not partake of it. I will drink of the pure river that flows from the river and altar of God, Amen.
