When you are anointed, you are not just an ordinary champion, You are a divine champion. You are a divine champion because the anointing of the most high is operating in your life.

There are different categories of Anointing.

Elijah had great anointing. 2 Kings 1:9-12

Elisha desired an even greater Anointing. 2 Kings 2:9-15

A king sent an army to arrest a man of God, but the man of God arrested them all by virtue of the Anointing. 2 Kings 6:8-23

You are a divine champion because the Greater One is your Ally and He is dwelling in you. 1 John 4:4

As a divine champion,  you don't have to worry about witches and enemies. Isaiah 54:15-17, Deuteronomy 28:7; for you become practically impregnable when you have the Anointing of God. However, you cannot have these privileges without challenges.

The biggest challenge is that you are nothing without your Ally. Anointing makes you more than conqueror, because there is a greater ally in you, 1 John 5:4. Mark 16:17. When you have this kind of anointing, you don't bother about demon.

2 Kings 6;8-23, A man of God arresting those that were sent to arrest him, that is the kind of anointing we are talking about. Isaiah 54:16-17, 15, Deut.28:7.

You get into trouble when He departs from you. Judges 16:4-21

Why God can depart from you

1. If you are not faithful. John 15:1-7

2. If you are lukewarm. Revelation 3:15-16

3. If you are lying. Revelation 21:8

The Almighty God cannot be an Ally to a liar. Psalm 101:7

Gehazi lied to Naaman and then to Elisha and suffered a grievous fate. 2 Kings 5:20-27

Consider the New Testament example of Ananias and Sapphira. Acts 5:1-7

Why does God despise lying so much?

It is one thing that differentiates God from the devil - truth as against lies. Numbers 23:19, John 14:6. 

How do you know a child of God? When he tells the truth at all times because lies keep God away.

A child of God tells the truth at all times while a child of the devil tell lies always. Lies no matter how little will cause the Almighty God to stay away. 

Lying has a family and the brother of lying is hypocrisy. 1 Timothy 4:1-2, Job 8:13, Job 15:34

The sister of lying is flattery otherwise known as exaggeration. Proverbs 26:28

The end of a flatterer is destruction for he and his children. Job 32:22, Psalm 12:3

Why are there so many issues with the mouth? 

For it is with the mouth that you lie, that you do hypocritical things, flatter and exaggerate. Proverbs 18:21, 2 kings 2:19-22, 2 kings 2:23-24. Can you imagine a liar trying to cast out demons? The demons will reply such that they are all children of the same father- the devil. As a child of God, you can with your mouth turn curses to blessing. 

Use your tongue to heal not to kill

Use your anointed tongue to win souls

Use your tongue to cast out demon, to command the lame to work. Stop lying, stop hypocrisy, stop exaggeration, sing praising to God, pray without ceasing. If you don't have anything to do or say, be quiet. Don't misuse your tongue so that the Almighty God will jot depart from you. Psalm 141:3

Lord the next time I want to lie, shut my mouth, don't let me lie.

Ask God for mercy for all the lies you have lied in the past. Pray to Almighty God never again to exaggerate, never again to flatter and pray in the spirit.
