Anointing for Financial Breakthrough: Embracing Divine Provision
Anointing signifies divine enhancement, enabling one to achieve what they could not accomplish ordinarily. As Psalm 89:20 declares, “I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him.” By replacing “David” with your name, you can personalize this promise and claim the divine elevation described in verse 27: “I will make him higher than the kings of the earth.”
This document explores the biblical foundation and practical steps to embrace anointing for financial breakthrough, emphasizing that through God’s power, believers can overcome financial challenges and experience prosperity.
The Anointer and the Anointing
In 1 Samuel 10:1, we see Samuel anointing Saul by God’s command, signifying that God uses chosen vessels to impart His anointing. Similarly, in Luke 3:16, John the Baptist prophesies about Jesus, who anoints with the Holy Spirit. This anointing transforms lives, as seen in 1 Samuel 10:6, where the Spirit of the Lord comes upon Saul, changing him forever. Christianity, without the Holy Spirit, becomes mere human effort. Even Jesus, despite His divine origin, relied on the anointing to fulfill His mission (Acts 10:38). Thus, the anointing is crucial for distinguishing and empowering believers.
The Anointing as a Yoke Destroyer
Isaiah 10:27 proclaims, “It shall come to pass in that day…” Today is that day for breaking the yoke of poverty. Poverty is not just a financial condition but a spiritual yoke that burdens many. The anointing destroys this yoke, liberating believers to pursue God’s purpose without hindrance. Demonstrating faith through action, as seen in taking a step forward, is essential in this journey towards financial freedom.
Steps to Financial Breakthrough
- Utilize What You Have (Exodus 4:2-4)
God asked Moses what was in his hand, a simple rod that became an instrument of miracles. Similarly, God has endowed each of us with unique talents and ideas. Proverbs 22:29 states, “Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.” Recognize your talents and diligently develop them, trusting God to elevate you from small beginnings to great accomplishments.
- Start Small and Grow (Zechariah 4:10)
God delights in small beginnings but ensures great endings. Starting small, like Moses picking up the rod-turned-snake by its tail, symbolizes humility and faith in God’s process. Whether starting as a teacher aspiring to become a school proprietor or a nurse aiming to establish a clinic, trust God’s plan for growth and expansion.
- Pray for Enlargement (1 Chronicles 4:9-10)
Jabez’s prayer for God to enlarge his territory resulted in him becoming more honorable than his brethren. Similarly, believers should seek God’s intervention for enlargement in their financial endeavors. Persistent prayer and faith in God’s ability to expand your territory are key to experiencing financial breakthroughs.
- Sacrifice in Faith (Genesis 22:1-5, 7, 12)
Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice Isaac, trusting God to provide or resurrect him, exemplifies sacrificial faith. Genesis 8:22 teaches that seed time and harvest will not cease. Whatever you give to God, whether time, money, or resources, expect a multiplied return. Sacrificial giving, done in faith, positions you for divine blessings.
- Ask for Abundance (Zechariah 10:1)
Zechariah 10:1 encourages believers to ask for rain during the time of the latter rain, symbolizing abundant blessings. Openly request God’s provision and thank Him in advance for the financial breakthrough. This act of faith attracts God’s attention and releases His blessings upon your life.
Procedure for Anointing
- Bless the Oil
Lift the bottle of oil and declare it blessed, consecrating it for divine use.
- Anointing Process
Ask everyone to stretch out their hands and place a drop of the oil on their palms. As soon as the oil touches your palm, place that hand on your head and begin to prophesy over your life, declaring God’s promises and breakthroughs.
Announcement
Encourage daily self-anointing before leaving home, as Ecclesiastes 9:8 instructs, “Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment.” This practice symbolizes continuous reliance on God’s anointing for daily protection and provision.

Embrace the anointing, commit to God’s promises, and walk in the assurance of His provision. Lift your hands and give thanks to God for His blessings and breakthroughs. Amen.
