Jeremiah 29:13 ‘And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity.’

DAILY READING; Hebrews 8; Exodus 5:1-6:27; Proverbs 1

Reinhard Bonnke was very young when he received the call of God to preach in Africa. Greatly hungering for the anointing and power to do the work, he left Germany to study at the Bible College of Wales in Swansea.
After his studies, in January 1962, the 22 year old Bonnke was on his way back to Germany. While passing through London, he came across a house with a nameplate on the front that said “George Jeffreys”.
George Jeffreys used to a firebrand evangelist who founded the Elim Pentecostal churches in Ireland and England.
Wondering if it could be the same person, Bonnke stopped and rang the doorbell. The lady who opened the door confirmed that it was the home of the famous George Jeffreys, but blatantly refused Bonnke’s entrance to see him. However, at that moment Bonnke heard a deep voice from within the house say, ‘Let the young man come in.’
As Bonnke stepped into the house, he saw the frail and old evangelist who had been sick for some years.
Bonnke took his hand and introduced himself and told him of the call of God upon his life to preach in Africa.
What happened next was extraordinary. All of a sudden, the old evangelist took him by the shoulders and fell to his knees, pulling Bonnke to the floor with him. He placed his hands on Bonnke’s head and began to release deep blessings on him.
As he prayed, the room seemed to light up with the glory of God, as Bonnke’s body felt electrified, tingling with divine energy. After the prayers, they said goodbye and Bonnke returned to Germany.
By the next day, when Bonnke’s father came to pick him up from the train station, he broke the news to him that George Jeffreys had just died that morning.
The anointing imparted upon Reinhard Bonnke would speak volumes. He would preach the Gospel all over the world, and eventually led about 76 million people to Christ.
Few years before his own death, when he was 75 years old Bonnke said at a youth conference “I want to pass my baton on to someone who’s here.”
Just like George Jeffreys had done to him, Bonnke was looking for someone hungry enough to catch the fire and take it to the ends of the earth.

Spiritual mantles are real, but they are only reserved for those who are hungry enough and desperate enough to catch the fire.
A “spiritual mantle” is a calling, gift, passion, ability, anointing or level of authority that God gives to a specific person.
When our hearts desperately pant after God, He will see to it that we receive the anointing needed for the work He has called us to do.
Indeed God is committed to filling those who hunger and thirst after righteousness.

Mathew 5: 6 says ‘Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled.’

There are wonderful things to be had in the realm of the Spirit, but we must press in to where they are. The treasures of life are never on the surface but in the depths. There are mighty manifestations of power and glory, miracles signs and wonders, awaiting us when we pay the price to press into the depths.

As believers, we are the light of the world and kings are meant to come to the brightness of our rising.
However, this will come into manifestation when we pay the price, and press into the spiritual depth where the power of God awaits us.
To arrive at our glorious destiny, we must accept full spiritual responsibility of seeking God with all our heart until we find Him. [Jeremiah 29:13]
Our hearts must keep panting after God through diligent study of His Word, fervent prayers and passionate praise.
When we so desperately hunger after God, we will receive His anointing and power to do exploits in life and ministry.
Certainly, the place of God in our hearts will determine our placing upon the earth.

PRAYER:
Lord, Please help me to pay the spiritual price to fervently seek Your Power and Your Glory. I know that when I seek You and find You, there shall be a reward and my expectations shall not be cut off in Jesus Name.
