Anoint ing has it s' own problem s, but t hey are good
problem s Luke.1: 37; I I Kings 6: 1- 7. Those who solve t he
problem s of t he anoint ed are solving t heir own problem s
t oo I Kings 17: 8- 16; I I Kings 4: 8- 17. Moreover, t hose who
know t he value of anoint ing never st ay afar from t he
anoint ed because anoint ing is t he great est insurance
against disast er Ps. 34: 5; I I Kings 2: 2- 6.

TH E AN OI N TI N G H AS AN UN SEEN BOD YGUARD


The anoint ed is endowed wit h supernat ural audio- visual
powers, which frust rat e t he plans of t he enem y I I Kings
6: 8- 13; I I Kings 5: 26. This is one of t he reasons why t he
devil respect s t he anoint ed Judges 15: 11- 16; Heb. 13: 56. Moreover, anoint ing can m ake t he blind see and t he

who reigns over all and owns all Ps. 19: 1- 3; Hag. 2: 8; I sa.

t hat she was queen because she belonged t o a king Rev.
19: 7- 9; Ps. 34: 10; John 10: 10; Ph. 4: 13, 19. Every

TH ERE I S N O ROOM FOR A VACUUM I N N ATURE


PH YSI CAL OR SPI RI TUAL
When one queen fell, t here was soon a suggest ion for a

However, God can t urn a slave t o a queen and give vict ory

Exo. 1: 15- 21; Dan. 3: 13- 18. While we m ust give honour t o
