INTRODUCTION: Every true believer must come to a realization that the Christian life is a battle. The hosts of hell are arrayed against us to steal, kill and destroy our callings and destinies. Hence, we must be adequately anointed and endued with power from on high. The more power a believer has the more effective he becomes as a battle axe in the hands of the Lord. The enemy does not waste his time and ammunitions on normal and powerless Christian. In our own strength and power; we are no match for the devil, so the Lord commands us to be strong in him and in the power of his might. “Finally my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.” Ps. 84:7 also says “They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.” Therefore, if we must survive in this present wicked world and execute the will of God on earth, we all need to move to a higher level of anointing.
