Truly, as vital and powerful the anointing of God is, there are certain things that the Lord’s anointing will not do for us. It is true that by the anointing yokes are broken and it is the anointing that empowers. Anointing is the presence of Holy Spirit in a believer’s life. This article is not written to present God’s anointing as ineffective and powerless. It is written so that we can rid ourselves of the erroneous teachings we have been taught concerning the anointing.

FIVE MAJOR THINGS GOD’S ANOINTING CANNOT DO;
• God’s Anointing will not make you immune to temptations;
After Jesus Christ had just finished fasting for forty days, and he returned with more power(anointing) from above, yet the tempter came to tempt him.

Matthew 4:2-3
[2]And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
[3]And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

So, temptation is part and parcel of life. No man can make himself immune to sin through anointing. You don’t say because you are powerfully anointed, no lady can tempt you with sex. Anointing will never blind your eyes from viewing beautiful ladies, big money and other attractive things. Despite the fact that you’re anointed by God, temptations are bound to come.

Never feel that temptation is the absence of God’s presence in your life. Anointing will never make you immune to temptation but will attract temptations. You will be tempted to steal. You will be tempted to tell lies. You will be tempted to preach false gospel. You will be tempted to sin.

When you need to flee, please flee. Anointing cannot send enticers away from you but you only need to apply wisdom. Every anointed man or woman of God will be hugely tempted by the devil. They are to be sober and vigilant so that the devil will not take advantage of their ignorance.

• Anointing will not automatically take you to heaven
Are you surprised? Many anointed men of God are in hell now while many will still join them. I’m not judgemental, I am just being factual.

Matthew 7:22
[22]Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?”

The people Jesus talked about here were believers who had the anointing to cast out demons and they did wonderful and mighty works for God. They are not those who could not perform miracles but those who performed great miracles. Yet, these people would be sent to hell. Why? They did not do the will of the father(Matt 7:21). What’s God’s will? The will of the father is that you avoid sin(1 These 4:3). So, anybody who has anointing but fails to do the Lord’s will, will end in hell.

Anointing is not an automatic ticket to heaven. Be careful! Anointing cannot take you to heaven. It is true salvation, sanctification and holiness that guarantee heaven.
