About this sermon
There are promises from God that don’t happen immediately. David was anointed king, but he didn’t walk straight into the palace and take the throne. He went back into a season of waiting. Maybe you’re carrying a prophetic word, a dream, a business, a ministry, or you’re believing for a child or grandchild who is far from God. I want you to hear this: a delay is not a denial. God is working out His timing and His promise in you. In this message, I unpack the anointing of Issachar from 1 Chronicles 12 and three qualities that marked the sons of Issachar. They understood the times, they knew what Israel should do, and they walked together in unity. We need that same prophetic discernment and apostolic action today. We cannot spend our lives living off someone else’s anointing. We have to dig our own well in God, know His Word, learn His voice, pray, disciple others, reach the lost, and know what God is asking us to do in our generation. And there is another test that comes with carrying greater anointing: offense. Every opportunity to become offended gives us a choice. Are we going to fight for our own way, or are we going to trust God to fight our battles? God is a better defender than we could ever be for ourselves. I believe God is raising up a people who are prophetic, apostolic, and unified, people who understand the times, know what to do, and refuse to allow offense to divide what God is building.
