IF YOU WANT TO KNOW ME LISTEN TO MY SONGS BECAUSE YOU CAN’T MINISTER BEYOND YOUR DEPTH
-Dr. Paul Enenche at International Music Minister’s Conference.
- If you want to know a man, listen to his songs, no man can minister beyond his depth.
- You can’t share God’s resources with people if you are a stranger to him, you must first of all secure intimacy to pull the Anointing.
That was David a man who carried the Oil. I believe the Ultimate is not that men will clap for us, but that God will be moved. This is ministering with the oil under the influence of the spirit.
What does it take to minister with the Oil?
- Minister from the place of intimacy with God.
When you are a man or woman that is intimate with God, you are not a stranger with him, because standing in his presence equals standing with the Oil. Zechariah 4:14
There were two anointed ones standing with the Oil. So as they stand by the Lord, they stand with the Oil. It takes ministering from the place of intimacy to get the Oil. You can’t be a stranger to God and share his resources with the people. You need to get intimate with the owner of the resources.
- Ministering from the depth of the knowledge of God.
The deeper your knowledge of God, the stronger the Oil you carry and will walk in. Nobody carries oil by accident, the deeper your knowledge of God, the deeper your thoughts will be, the deeper the messages you preach, the deeper the content of your songs. A lady told someone, if you want to know me, listen to my songs because you can’t minister beyond your depth. The depth of your knowledge will determine the depth of your songs.
- Ministering from the Heart and Life of Worship:
You can’t take people into where you have not been, you can’t take people into worship if you haven’t developed a lifestyle of Worship. The heart and life of worship compel the Oil. Psalms 92:1-2,10. David started with worship and songs of praises in verses 1 and 2, then moved to verse 10 where he received fresh oil from God, this is because fresh worship equals fresh Oil. It is not possible to lack Oil if you don’t lack worship.
- Ministering for his Glory alone:
You want the oil, you must minister for His Glory alone. A desperate passion for his glory pulls the Oil beyond measures. The power of God goes where the glory of God is secured. The Anointing of God is available anywhere the Glory of God is secured. Psalm 63:2.
If you want to see his power, you must secure His glory. ” For thine is the Kingdom, the Power and Glory. Mathew 6:13b.
When you want to sing and you feel jittery, just face the one you came to worship, let his glory be Paramount and you won’t beg for the anointing. I told you the Story of how I went to pray, seeking the face of God and He said, You need to secure my Glory if you want to see my Power. That’s how I went into Seven days of Fast and intense prayers to secure his glory in life and ministry.
- Ministering from the place of death – that is death to self. John 12:24
Moses cried to God, if I have found favor with you, show me, Thine Glory. But God said, no man can see my Glory and live. What God is saying is that to see my Glory you must agree to die. You just die to yourself if you want to see his glory. In the Olive Oil which was the Anointing Oil of the Old Testament, there were several ingredients that made up its composition, including Cinnamon and the others, but a major ingredient in the making of the Olive oil was the myrrh, which was a liquid used to embalm the dead. It was a Dead body preservative, yet it was used for the Anointing oil, don’t forget the three wise men also brought this Myrrh as one of their gifts to Jesus. The question is why will a Dead body preservative be a gift to the savior and be an ingredient for the Oil, the answer is that to function fully in the Glory of God, you must be dead to sin, dead to the flesh, every anti-God nature in you must die, you must embalm your fleshly carnal desires and be alive to the spirit alone.
