The Lord's Anointing

Writing is an art I'd been interested in since I was a child.

A vintage typewriter ready for creative writing.

Reading fuelled my desire

I wanted to read every single piece of book I laid my hands on as a young girl of about eight years old. I was enthralled by the possibility of seeing places I'd never been in the pages of books. I knew books held secrets!

Then, I wanted to create my own world and write 'secrets' of my own hoping an eager reader would pick up my book and take a journey to places I'd been in my mind, crafted and kept hidden in a story.

Finding My Voice

As it with life, I encountered detours which sidetracked me from pursing my passion for crafting words. I didn't start to consider writing seriously until my encounter with the Lord many years after the dreamy eyed girl had become a woman and a mother. My salvation experience, which is my total surrender to God by confessing Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour of my life changed my approach to writing. I learned that it was not my secretst to keep in the books I wanted to write, but to write as the Lord inspires. Then I knew my writings must be for His glory and not for my fantasies.

The Spirit of the Lord

As I sought the Lord in prayers, to conceive what and how I should write. I was led to the scriptures; the book of Isaiah 61. It became clear that my writings must honour God. I agreed with Him that I am who He says I am.

Now I confess:

I am a Kingdom Wordsmith. For the Lord has called me and filled me with the HolySpirit, wisdom, understanding, knowledge and all manners of wordsmithship. to use words to bring men into the knowledge of God. To use words as jewels of gold, silver and precious stones. To deliver the good news of the Lord to the poor, heal the broken hearted, proclaim liberty to the captives, open prison gates to the bound, proclaim the acceptable time of the lord to His people. I have been anointed to comfort and console all those who mourn in Zion, to give beauty for ashes, garment of praise instead of the spirit of heaviness. To show men their identity in God as the tree of righteousness, the planting of the Lord and for their song to be that of glorifying God!

I believe it and I go as Father said.

How about you?

What has God anointed you for? Believe it, Proclaim it and Live it.
