People of God, we do not yet fully understand the knowledge of God. Just a few days ago, the Spirit of God sat me down and began to reveal to me the depths of Genesis chapter 1. Oh, how loaded it is! I thought I understood it until He unveiled it to me. Truly, we do not know God as we should.
Apostle Paul, once known as Saul, reflects this in Philippians 3:10: “That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death.”
Even after serving God, Paul expressed a desire to know Him more. Who was Paul? Formerly Saul, he was a highly educated man, a Pharisee of Pharisees (Acts 23:6), and one who authorized the persecution of believers. But Saul was not born for destruction—God had a higher calling for him. So much so that Jesus left heaven to encounter him directly (Acts 9:3).
How do we truly know God?
Job offers us guidance in Job 22:21: “Acquaint now thyself with Him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.” Declare this: I want to know Him.
To know Him, we must return to the beginning—Genesis 1:1: “In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.” For deeper understanding, we also turn to John 1:1: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
Who is Him? He is the Word.
Who is the Word? He is Jesus.
Who is Jesus? He is God’s anointing—God’s ability to love, forgive, create, and resurrect. Jesus is not just a boy from Nazareth; He is the embodiment of God’s anointing to create.
Let’s return to the beginning.
Genesis 1:2 reveals: “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” Do you know that heaven came out of the water? Genesis 1:6-8 describes how God divided the waters to create the firmament, which He called heaven.
Whoever receives the Holy Spirit becomes a vessel of creation. When the anointing comes upon you, extraordinary things begin to happen. For example, Peter walked on water (Matthew 14:29).
Declare: Begin with me, Lord!
The word “beginning” in Hebrew is Bereshit (בְּרֵאשִׁית)—it signifies an anointing. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob knew God as Almighty (Exodus 6:3). This year, by the anointing, things that were not there shall manifest. Genesis 1:3 says: “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.”
Child of God, know this: whoever has worked to bring darkness into your life, God will fight their darkness. God’s methods are not like ours. The anointing will break poverty and establish prosperity in your life. Declare: The anointing has come forth for me!
John 14:23 reminds us: “If a man loves me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.” You are the house of God, rich in His presence and blessings (John 14:2, John 15:7).
Consider the widow in 2 Kings 4:1-7. Her sons faced slavery due to debt. Elisha instructed her to gather empty vessels and pour oil into them. The oil, symbolic of the anointing, flowed until every vessel was filled. Declare: I will not stop the oil!
Acts 20:32 says: “And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.”
Let me declare over your life: this anointing will prosper you. Raise your hand and say: Lord, I need this anointing!
Declare: Lord, begin with me!
