Bishop L. Mark emphasizes that when God anoints someone, it's for a specific purpose.
2. Biblical Reference - The Widow and Elijah (1 Kings 17:12)
Set during a severe drought and famine, when food was scarce
The widow tells Elijah she only has "a handful of meal and a little oil" — enough for one last meal before she and her son die
Despite her desperation, she had something to offer
3. The Power of Words
Bishop L. Mark stresses that what we say carries spiritual weight
Personal anecdote: He shared with God he was "going through" difficulties, not "stuck in them" — and God affirmed this difference in wording
Our declarations can reveal an understanding of our eventual breakthrough
4. "A Little Oil"
Repeated emphasis that all you need is "a little oil" (representing anointing/faith)
This little anointing can sustain, heal, bring victory, and help win
Encourages listeners to recognize what little they have and unite it together
5. Generosity Principle
Closing encouragement to give to the "man of God" first
Promise that giving what little you have to God's work will result in blessing and multiplication
