Rhapsody of Realities Daily Devotional for May 9, 2026 – Message & Prayer

TOPIC: YOU ALREADY HAVE THE ANOINTING

SCRIPTURE: But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things (1 John 2:20).

You can be blessed through the grace God has given to someone else. You can be influenced by their faith, and they can join their faith with yours to get something done. But no one can increase the anointing on your life, because you already have all the anointing there could ever be. If you’d trust this truth, you’d do amazing things.

The Bible says, “…ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…” (Acts 1:8). The Holy Spirit came upon them on the day of Pentecost for the purpose of dwelling inside them. He comes upon, to enter in. He came upon you to prepare you as the tabernacle of God, and now He lives in you. How could you then have a lesser unction or anointing when He lives in you in His totality, His fullness?

The Scriptures tell us something extraordinary: we are members of Christ’s body, of His flesh, and of His bones (Ephesians 5:30). It doesn’t get better than that. John 1:16 also says, “…of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.” And then 1 John 4:17 declares, “…as he is, so are we in this world.”

That means God sees us the way He sees Jesus. Demons see us the way they saw Jesus. What more do you want? You already have what you need. In 1 John 2:20, John, by the Spirit, wrote to the saints saying, “… ye have an unction from the Holy One….” Notice He didn’t say, “Try to get more unction from the Lord”; rather he said you already have it!

The same word translated “unction” is translated “anointing” in the 27th verse that says, “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you….” Having received the Holy Spirit, God never gives the impression that you need to get something more before you can live for Him or function for Him.
You already received all the power, glory and authority you need to live transcendently on earth. The anointing is inside you and that anointing teaches you and abides in you forever. This is your reality.

Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for your glory, power, authority and dominion granted me forever because I’ve received the Holy Spirit. I live conscious of His greatness within me as I function in the fullness of Christ. I walk in boldness, dominion and supernatural ability, manifesting your glory everywhere, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
