I have to admit, I always wondered what this part of Psalm 23 meant. I thought “He anoints my head with oil” was figurative language for God keeping the Psalmist healthy. I never knew this parallel.
Anoint my head with oil
“Sheep can get their head caught in briers and die trying to get untangled. There are horrid little flies that like to torment sheep by laying eggs in their nostrils which turn into worms and drive the sheep to beat their head against a rock, sometimes to death. Their ears and eyes are also susceptible to tormenting insects. So the shepherd anoints their whole head with oil. Then there is peace. That oil forms a barrier of protection against the evil that tries to destroy the sheep. Do you have times of mental torment? Do the worrisome thoughts invade your mind over and over? Do you beat your head against a wall trying to stop them? Have you ever asked God to anoint your head with oil? He has an endless supply! His oil protects and makes it possible for you to fix your heart, mind, and eyes on Him today and always! There is peace in the valley! May our good good Father anoint your head with oil today so that your cup overflows with blessings! God is good and He is faithful!!”
45 ! This boy here is helped by God. From A to Z, it is God all the way.
Saints, Today, please help me Thank Him. Give Him all the glory on my behalf.
And proclaim this new year “The year of The LORD’s favour.
The year of New Beauty. The year of Honour. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST !
“to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.””
Luke 4:19 NIV
Everyone claims to be preaching the bible,
Everyone claims to be preaching the gospel.
Everyone claims to be preaching Jesus.
But what's really happening is that many use the bible to preach human ideas.
Many preach another gospel that has no Christ, no cross and no salvation.
Many are preaching "Jesus" because he is a great tool for self-promotion and the marketing of religious empires.
The Lord knows those that are His.
Hopefully, believers can also do better at distinguishing "ghost workers" from living, true labourers.
A sign that you are probably not growing in Christ is that anyone and everyone on the pulpit is a "blessing" to you.
It may seem like a virtue on the surface, but sometimes it only means that you have no sense to discern and differentiate between junk and real nutrition.
Like a baby that puts everything attractive in its mouth, many are easily swayed and wowed once you can sprinkle a few bible verses around some nice speech preached by anyone with a suit and tie.
When you begin to take your walk with God seriously, not everything served with the tag of "God" will appeal to you.
This week, may the Lord order your steps and lead you in the right direction. May He give you discernment to make wise and accurate decisions, and clarity to know the path to take in every area of your life.
Type AMEN in the comments and step into a blessed and purposeful week!

• Chelsea signed the only Africa to win FIFA world best player and Ballon d'or and he is Liberia President George Yeah
• Chelsea signed Arsenal Best Defender and Left Back in his Peak Ashley Cole
• Chelsea signed AC Milan and Seria Abest striker and Ballon d'or Winner Andriy Shevchenko
• Chelsea signed Liverpool best striker in his peak and Euro 2008 finalist scorer Fernando Torres
• Chelsea signed one of Bayern Munich greatest midfielder in his peak Michael Ballack
If you think signing Vini Jr is a problem for us, you better think twice. Chelsea have pulled more bigger name in their prime than Arsenal would ever imagine in their entire history.
THE STRANGE ACTS OF APOSTLE AYO BABALOLA THAT DEFY SCIENCE REASONING
Pa Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola once told his fellow ministers during prayer meeting to kneel down for a SHORT prayer.
After about 2-3 hours of kneeling down, the ministers became frustrated & sat down,
"In USA, you see names like Stone, Bush, Bucket, Cricket, Mr. Cow, how are you... But yet, they make progress. But in Africa, blessing is begging for data, Happiness is suffering from depression, Wisdom has no sense. We bear good names, but we live bad lives."

"We have a civic responsibility as responsible citizens of our various nations. This church is today in 144 nations. So, endeavour to secure your permanent voter cards (PVC). You are men and women of the spirit. By your own personal conviction, you should know where to cast your vote. We are not passersby in our nation. We are bona fide citizens of the nation, and we have a right to participate in who governs us." — David Oyedepo, presiding bishop of Living Faith Church
