“And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I have anointed thee king...” (2 Kings 9: 6). That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today. One vital component of the anointing oil, according to Exodus 30 vs. 22-25, is the olive oil, derived from the olive tree. The olive tree has an ability to survive all manner of damage. If you cut it down, it has the capacity to grow again. Cutting down the olive tree is an opportunity for it to grow again. Notice that Jehu was anointed with oil that contained an extract from the olive tree. He was anointed with the oil of survival. By that anointing, Jehu wasn’t going to be cut short or have his destiny truncated by any man. Any man who would later attack Jehu was indulging in an exercise in futility. Friend, as this new month begins, God says, you have been anointed with the oil of survival. Any man who wants to cut down your destiny is wasting his time; any power that wants to reduce or truncate your destiny is indulging in an exercise in futility. Any one who wants to pull you down will watch you rise higher. Your destiny is too protected to be truncated, and too secured to be destroyed. When men try to cut you down, you will grow again, and grow higher and greater. Even if they actually pull you down, God will shock them by making you rise against all odds. Because of God’s presence in you, every attempt the enemy will make against you will be a waste of time. 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9 put it this way: “8. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9. Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;” Pray With Me: Lord, no attack of the enemy will truncate my destiny, in Jesus name! Follow on Twitter @jerrystreams.
