The General Overseer of Solemn Faith International Church, Pastor Mathew Eleojoh James, has declared that an anointed man of God is untouchable. He made this assertion while preaching on the topic “Anointing for Walking in Dominion” during a special program marking Solemn Children’s Day at the church premises, located at Road 21, Plot 14, Federal Housing Estate, Woji, Port Harcourt.
His message was anchored on scriptures including Luke 10:17-19, Genesis 2:7, and Acts 10:38, emphasizing the significance of divine empowerment for dominion.
During his sermon, Pastor Mathew highlighted biblical figures who exemplified dominion through the anointing, including Adam before the fall, Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Elijah, Elisha, Jesus, and the apostles. He noted that these individuals operated in extraordinary power, demonstrating divine authority over their circumstances.
He explained that Adam was created with dominion over the earth, Abraham walked under a covenant of divine preservation, Moses performed mighty miracles in Egypt, and Joshua led the Israelites to conquest through supernatural enablement.
He also referenced the prophetic exploits of Elijah and Elisha, the miraculous works of Jesus, and the apostolic demonstration of power in the early church.
Pastor Mathew expounded on the essence of anointing for dominion, explaining that it enables believers to take territories, break barriers, and make tangible progress despite opposition. Using scriptural references, he illustrated how God’s anointing empowered individuals to overcome obstacles, such as the parting of the Red Sea for Moses, the crossing of the Jordan River for Joshua, and the multiplication of resources through Elisha’s prophetic intervention.
He further emphasized that dominion through anointing is not just about personal victories but about making significant impact in society.
He also provided insights into how believers can maintain the flow of anointing in their lives.
He urged Christians to love righteousness and hate wickedness, citing Psalm 45:7 and Hebrews 1:9. He stressed the importance of obedience to divine instructions, referencing the tragic story of the disobedient prophet in 1 Kings 13.
Additionally, he encouraged believers to cultivate an unwavering commitment to God’s presence, as exemplified by Elisha’s determination to stay connected to Elijah.
Pastor Mathew pointed out that maintaining the right mindset is crucial for sustaining the anointing.
He warned against an entitlement mentality, explaining that seeing the anointing as a privilege rather than a right solidifies one’s connection with God. He referenced 2 Kings 2:4 and 1 Samuel 19:18 to illustrate how staying committed to spiritual mentorship fosters growth in anointing. Furthermore, he emphasized the necessity of building capacity, citing the story of the widow in 2 Kings 4, who expanded her ability to receive divine provision.
In driving home his message, the cleric shared profound quotes to reinforce his teachings. He stated that “The depth of your anointing determines the height of your dominion,” referencing the progressive anointing of David from 1 Samuel 16:13 to his enthronement in 2 Samuel 5:3.
He added that the deeper a person is in the anointing, the greater their dominion, affirming that “Anointing puts you in charge and in command.” He further declared that “An anointed man is an untouchable man,” drawing from Psalm 105:15.
He also pointed out that the anointing grants believers the courage to confront their challenges without fear, explaining that Joshua crossed the Jordan River unhindered because of the anointing for dominion. He encouraged believers to aspire to be territory takers, as they are ultimately history makers. He warned that “Wickedness kills consciousness,” and that disregarding divine instructions leads to distractions. He concluded with a call for believers to build capacity for global impact, stating that “Until capacity for global ministry is built, one may remain in locality.”
The service featured various special ministrations that enriched the occasion. The children of the church presented inspiring drama performances and special songs that thrilled the congregation.
The event was a blend of spiritual empowerment and celebration, as both young and old participated in the worship experience.
