Falling Down Under Anointing In The Church Today  

Monday 5th May

Text: 1 Corinthians 3:11- 13 

Key verse: And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone. Ephesians 2:20.

Jesus is the Chief corner stone of the church, the Captain of all preachers. His ministry among men when He was physically on earth, is a standard example for us. When the Holy Spirit anointed the apostles, He used them to teach and exemplify gospel truth after the pattern of Jesus. These were written out for us in the inspired epistles. All New Testament revelations were completed in the days of the apostles. All miracles, signs, wonders and supernatural manifestations today, must be scripturally verified to ensure they are according to scriptural pattern. Many ministers display the supernatural power that makes worshippers fall to the ground, to show how anointed they are. It seems many people who seek for a miracle feel that falling down during ministration or prayer is the way to it. 

The following are observations made on falling down under anointing. 

a: A supernatural power indeed is involved in causing people to fall down. 

b: Through laying on of hands some ministers force the people to fall down. 

c: Some fall down consciously, but in pretense that their fall is by God's power. D: Some have been prepared to fall down, to promote the ministry of the preacher. 

e: The people who fall down do not do so from supernatural encounter. 

f: The people that fall down do not testify to a scriptural revelation received after their fall. 

g: The sinner and the sick remain in their condition when they rise from their fall. 

h: Many of those who fall down claim to be already born again. 

The following are also observed. 

i: Many fall down ingloriously. 

ii: Many fall on others to their embarrassment and provocation. 

iii: Some fall on chairs, hard objects or hard ground. 

iv: Some who fall down and roll on dusty floor dirty their clothes. 

v: Some of the women that fall down expose their nakedness unconsciously to other worshippers. 

vi: Some of those who celebrate this falling down under anointing are ungodly in their clothing, adornment, make-up and character. Can the holy God sponsor such a manifestation as these? Which way do they glorify Him? 

Thought For The Day: Does this exercise edify the true believer? 

Song For The Day: When I think of the goodness of Jesus, and all He has done for me
