I REMEMBER one life-changing experience that took place when I was a young man. After discovering a tree with honey I decided to go for the honey alone and took off. But before I could get closer to the honey, bees saw me and they bit me so much that I took to my heels, leaving behind mother’s dish and father’s axe.

When I got home without the honey or the dish and the axe, it was trouble, friend! Mother was saying, “I want my dish”, father saying, “I want my axe!” O hallelujah don’t give up, don’t quit, don’t surrender, fight. When things get tough, the tough get going. Years later, today, I realise it’s the same thing if you want the anointing of God on your life.

Be prepared for bees!

The anointing is like honey, you can’t get it cheap. Read on and discover how you can live this powerful life of the anointing for with the anointing all you do will prosper in life.

“And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit of God gave them utterance.” Acts 2:4, “And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and they spoke the word of God with boldness.”

From the above scriptures we realise that the early church Christians were not filled with the Holy Ghost just once No. It’s not once and for all. You continuously get filled with the Holy Ghost. He is the source of the anointing and the success that comes with it. Its effects can be as tangible as causing even the bananas you sell to be bought very much.

It does cause things to happen for you. Things miraculously work for you, when the anointing is working in your life. You achieve things and success supernaturally. Never attempt to get supernatural things naturally – you need the anointing friend, you need it!

Even money needs to be anointed. When your money is not anointed it achieves nothing in life no matter how much it is. Many of you are struggling in life because you lack a little bit of oil. You may have the degree but no anointing – unogwesha ukashaya mafuta muhupenyu (you struggle when you lack oil in life).

Without the anointing you can buy peaches with the same money you were supposed to buy a bed. O hallelujah.

But with the anointing on your life with the same money someone will buy a bag of peaches, you will buy a bed, pillow cases and a bonus or give away of a cover bed with the same money! O how I desire the anointing of the Holy Ghost on your life. You need it, you need it, and you need it! Be full of the anointing!

They are not just big things that can make you successful in life No, even the little things as selling vegetables can cause you to rise high in life. I know of two men who used to attend services and prayer meetings I led. They started small in a vegetable business, but due to the grace and oil we are talking about, rose to great business people with one of the most thriving and leading vegetable companies today.

Friend, you can do it, you can do it. Usanyare nezvaunoita (do not be ashamed with what you do), all you need is the anointing! O hallelujah!

By now you should be asking and wondering, “Ok bishop I heard about the anointing, but what do I need to do from here?” you asked well. First and foremost, you need to BELIEVE that you can be filled with the anointing of the Holy Spirit. You see, in my earlier story, I needed to believe in my heart that I could get the honey before I even began to go for it.

You need to believe in your heart that I can get it, I can be filled. You can be filled at church, at work, at home or even in your sleep you can be filled. Have you not heard of how many get attacked spiritually in their sleep or a bad dream and wake up full of the Holy Ghost, shouting the name of Jesus or speaking in powerful tongues! O glory! I like the anointing. I like it, I like it, I like it.

The anointing is not limited to the church building or environment only. No. It can supersede all that and touch your family, heal your sick body, cancel your burdensome debt, drive away spells, charms, curses and bewitchments that torment and pursue your life.

Make no mistakes about it – the anointing is not just for pastors, No! You need the anointing for all of your life’s success. Some people wonder about their lives, we eat but don’t get full, we dress but the clothes quickly tear off, don’t fit or get burnt; even the cars, its breakdown after breakdown? Friend go for the anointing!

Another point to note, however, about the anointing is that it brings persecution. It attracts testing and challenges in your life. But you do not need to fear, No. Persecution can either make you bitter or better. Get better! Do you want the anointing? Know that you are like someone looking for honey.

Where there is honey, there are bees. Be ready to be bitten by challenges if you want the anointing. Persecution can bring the best or the worst out of you. Nyuchi dzichiruma, uchi ngatidye! (Despite being bitten by the bees, enjoy the honey). After being bitten by the bees that day and mother needed her dish back, father wanting his axe I had left in the bush, I braced myself and said I’m going for it!

With a new attitude and spirit, I ignored the bees, used fire and came back home with father’s axe, mother’s dish and o glory to God, the honey! I challenge you today, go for the anointing! It’s yours. For with God all things are possible, Mark 10:27
