Revelation 2:1-5

The book of revelation reveals to us the seven spirits of God and the seven expressions of the church. Revelation 1:10-11 reads, I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet, saying, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, “What you see, write in a book and send [it] to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”

Each of the seven churches has at least one of the seven spirits of God (which are anointings) according to Revelation 5. Power is an anointing. You need power for deliverance; to become a child of God [John 1:12]; to become a witness [Acts 1:8]; to create wealth. Power is what breaks the curse of poverty [Deut 8:18]. Then you need the anointing of Riches. How do you do it? It’s through praise and worship. Worship creates an atmosphere that brings you the presence of God. David said, I will enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise [Psalms 100:4]. David was anointed to be a praiser and not to be a king. David’s anointing was a Praise anointing.

Wisdom is an anointing for leadership. Wisdom is what appoints kings and governors. Solomon was anointed to be a King. The other anointing is called Strength. It is an anointing of encouragement, management, presentation, entertainment and joy. Honour is also an anointing of righteousness and holiness. It’s the spirit of faith and belief. This anointing is the one in which martyrs die just like the nature of the Ugandan martyrs. Then comes an anointing of Glory which performs miracles. Whenever God shows up, miracles, signs and wonders do take place. The last anointing is called blessing. It is an anointing of multiplication, and it’s prophetic.

Once you are filled with the Holy Spirit, these anointings [the seven spirits of God] will come upon you. You need them and that’s why you must return to your first love. Revelation 2:4 says, Nevertheless I have [this] against you, that you have left your first love. We had all left our first love and because of that, God said, I AM now locking you down such that you can return. It’s through this time that we are reading MORE of the bible than ever before; we are spending MORE time in the presence of God and we have become MORE sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit.

As I conclude: we must ask the LORD where did we go astray and where have we left Him? Many people have left their first love and it’s not to the church but to our Lord Jesus Christ.

Don’t miss TONIGHT, I am continuing our teaching on GLORY, one of the seven spirits of God according to Revelation 5:12.
