Sermon by Dr D.K OLUKOYA
The counsel of God for you this year is that you will experience supernatural ease and double honour all-year round and beyond 2019. My fervent prayer is that this counsel of God for your life will stand, in Jesus’ name. However, you must learn how to connect to these special, made-in-heaven gifts of supernatural ease and double honour that God has offered you.
There is an anointing that makes a difference in your life. This anointing will determine whether you will be victorious or defeated. It is the anointing of ease. With this anointing of ease, the impossible will become possible and hopelessness will be turned to a glorious hope.
It is unfortunate, however, that a lot of people go through life without discovering or recovering the anointing of ease. You cannot gain access to God’s best without the anointing of ease. You cannot dwell in the realm of divine comfort unless you drink from the tap of the anointing of ease. Many are eager to get connected to the socket of ease, but unfortunately, such people do not know the real source of the anointing of ease.
God is ever ready to dip His beloved children in the reservoir of ease. It is God’s desire and delight to bless us beyond our imaginations. God is set to turn hopeless situations around and make a way where there is no way. The pathway to the anointing of ease is tucked in the scriptures. God is ever willing to deck His sons and daughters with the garment of ease.
The Source of the Anointing of Ease
Beloved, Jesus is the source of supernatural ease. For those who are waiting to be plugged into the socket of divine ease, Jesus has come up with an open secret in the verses below:
Matthew 11:28-30
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me: for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Here , Jesus tells us in clear terms that he is the fountain head of ease. When you discover the ease that Jesus offers, you will obtain what people are struggling for without any struggle on your part. Jesus points our attention to the fact that genuine ease and comfort can only be found in Him. He tells us, “I am the source of ease; I bestow upon those who belong to me the anointing of ease. When they come to me and hand their burdens over, I give them the anointing of ease in return.”
The KEY
How then does the anointing of ease come into manifestation? It comes by seeking God first. Matthew 6:33 enjoins us to seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all other glorious things from god shall be added unto us. You can seek God to a point when He rises up and offers you all the blessings you will ever need.
The STRESS-FREE LIFE
Beloved, the world is filled with stress. The economy of most nations is in the doldrums. Even in advanced nations, most people’s finances are in a bad shape. People simply move from one place to the other, from one pursuit to another and from one challenge to another, just to make ends meet and cope with the challenges of the times.
Many are pondering and asking, “Is there any hope for survival? Will things ever get better? Is there any solution in sight?” These pertinent questions are being asked universally. Unfortunately we have ignored, to our detriment, the words of the only One who knows the secret of ease. Jesus must have looked far ahead into our times to have declared the words in Matthew 11:28-30. Against this backdrop, the Bible gives us the solution to the high spate of restlessness and frustration that our generation is grappling with.
Basically, Jesus gives us rest in a world of restlessness. He gives us peace in a world that is characterized by chaos. How can we discover this type of rest? When Jesus declared ”come unto me,” He was calling us into salvation. To understand the importance of entering into his rest at salvation, He offers us an exchange programme.
Cast Your Burden Upon Jesus
To get to the realm off ease, all you need do is take an easy step: simply look away and cast all your care upon the Lord. In 1 Peter 5:7, the Bible says, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”
If there is ever a time when people are loaded with care and anxiety, it is now. Parents are over-burdened with the care of how to put the next meal on the table. When people go to the market, they care about how not to purchase needed items at exorbitant prices.
This weighs on their hearts. The economic conditions of many nations have become worrisome. We are often scared concerning what might happen next. Rather than worry or slump into anxiety, we need to consider the option of the anointing of ease.
Jesus is the source of ease. You can cast your care upon him. Be assured, beloved, that He will not give you a heavier burden. He will definitely take away your heavier burden and give you the anointing of ease. Your stressful life can only find rest when you have an encounter with Jesus. Even when you are suffering under the yoke of satanic bondage, with Jesus, you will find deliverance. You will be set free totally.
Double Honour Is Your PORTION
As you connect to supernatural ease, by accepting Jesus offer of salvation, seeking God’s kingdom ahead and above all else and seeking Jesus with all your heart, God will take away your shame and replace it with double honour (Isaiah 61:7).
Beloved, I encourage you to pray until heaven releases the anointing of ease upon you in a great magnitude and lavish double honour on you. You will surely agree with me that God’s best can be obtained and enjoyed when you move to the corridor of divine comfort. Pray today and your case will become a reference point when people discuss the superlative benefits of serving God.
