THE ANOINTING OF THE SENT ONE

Topic: The Anointing of The Sent One

Text: "Come now therefore, and I will send thee…"
(Exodus 3:10).

The word apostolic simply means “sent.” It
means God endorses you and therefore is
sending you to represent Him for a particular
task, just like He sent Moses to Pharaoh (see
Exod. 3:10). When Moses encountered Pharaoh,
there was no mistake about who sent him
because he had several factors in place.
To be apostolic doesn’t mean you become an
apostle, but it means you carry a “sent one”
anointing. We all need to operate under the
power of sending. It means we don’t rise up and
do things on our own, but we wait for certain
factors to align. Whether your part in God’s
Kingdom is ministerial leadership or volunteer
support, it needs an apostolic or sent-one
anointing upon it. The two key characteristics of
this sending anointing are fruit and recognition.
If you are truly called to help in a church by
working in the sound department or prayer
ministry, you will have fruit to show for it.
Secondly, your gifts and abilities will be
recognizable to other believers and ministry
leaders. These factors must be present for those
called to full-time ministry as well. Every one of
us must be willing to humble ourselves until both
legitimate fruit and recognition become evident.
God wants you to be endowed with a sending
anointing so you can influence people in an
amazing way this year!

PRAYER
Father, I ask that You would mold me and develop
my character. I humble myself and allow You to
place a mature apostolic anointing upon me so
that I can be a blessing in Your Kingdom. I wait
on You for the full manifestation of a sending
anointing! In Jesus’ Name, amen.
