MEMORY VERSE: “But ye have unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things”1 John 2:20.
TEXTS:- 1 John 2:27- 29; Luke 24:49; Luke 4:18.
INTRODUCTION: New Testament believers had been up heaved by the finished work on the Calvary, so much that the power that worked in Christ Jesus earthly ministry has been given to them. In this dispensation which bible described as perilous time, it is only this power; called the anointing, that can make us survive the insurgence and wickedness of the devil. To be able to withstand the end time attacks, we need to properly understand the relevance of ministry of Holy Spirit giving us his auction to stand. Unlike the old saints in the Old Testament, which received the visitation of Holy Spirit whenever needs arises, New Testament believers have the singular honour of indwelling of blessed Holy Spirit in them. All believers of Christ have the same opportunity to operate in the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
