You Are Uniquely Anointed
There is an anointing on your life. However, for you to wield its dimensions effectively, you must first understand the uniqueness of the anointing God has placed on your life and assignment.
The anointing on your life is so unique that it can literally have your name on it. Throughout history, there have been men and women who walked in unusual dimensions of God because they cultivated deep intimacy with Him and learned how to steward the grace upon their lives. People like Kathryn Kuhlman and Benson Idahosa carried extraordinary authority because they discovered how to model the anointing on their lives and walked confidently in it.
Even in Scripture, we hear about the mantle of Elijah because Elijah understood his unique assignment and fully yielded to God. He mastered the grace entrusted to him and made a generational impact.
You must understand that God does not anoint people randomly. The anointing is connected to purpose. There is a grace designed specifically for the assignment Heaven has committed into your hands. Your journey is not to become a copy of someone else, but to become fully yielded to the expression of Christ through you.
As you grow with God, He will begin to reveal the dimensions of grace upon your life. The more intimate you become with Him, the clearer your spiritual identity and authority will become.
