Psalms 105:14-15 (KJV)
He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
The above Scripture highlights God’s divine protection over His chosen people, ensuring that no harm comes to them and even reproving kings for their sake. It serves as a powerful cue that God watches over His people, shielding them from injustice and oppression. God is actively watching over His people, ensuring their safety and well-being. The Scripture is also repeated in 1 Chronicles 16:21-22, “He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes, Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.” The Anointing is undeniably a powerful force that preserves both life and destiny. This Anointing serves as a remarkable instrument of signs and wonders, drawing favor and distinguishing the anointed as untouchable. While it can profoundly impact the lives of others positively, it also carries a formidable weight against those who dare to abuse or mistreat the anointed. Acting against God’s anointed is not taken lightly and comes with serious consequences. Psalm 28:8 says, “The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.”
In both the spiritual and physical realms, anointed individuals are undeniably termed ‘UNTOUCHABLE.’ They are encircled by a powerful wall of fire that makes them impervious to any form of attack. Though they may appear small or gentle, anyone carrying the Anointing possesses an incredible strength that renders them untouchable. Every anointed person stands as a formidable entity, and only the most reckless would dare to challenge someone blessed with the Anointing. When Miriam and Aaron spoke out against Moses, the LORD’s anger was kindled, leading to Miriam becoming leprous. Similarly, when Korah and over 250 others opposed Moses and Aaron (Num. 16:2-3), God caused the earth to swallow them. In another instance, when King Ahaziah sought to capture Elijah, his attempts resulted in disaster, not only for himself but also for the soldiers he sent to apprehend the anointed prophet of God (2 Kings 1:1-15). The 42 youth from Bethel who maliciously mocked Elisha, one of God’s anointed, were torn into pieces as a judgment for their mockery (2 Kings 2:23-24). Judas, who turned against Jesus, became so miserable and hung himself (Mat. 27:5). Many people lack the respect and restraint to refrain from speaking or acting negatively toward those chosen as God’s anointed. However, they will face serious consequences for their actions. While God might not send she-bears as in biblical times, the truth remains: touching the anointed comes with a price. Anyone who dares to challenge or harm them will undoubtedly pay dearly for it. This reality cannot be ignored!
Beloved, watch your tongue and stop any destructive action to the assignment given to an anointed man or woman of God. Find peace knowing God watches over you, for He is your defender. God in control allows you to confidently step forward, trusting His plans even when situations seem uncertain. Even in times of uncertainty, God will shield you as His anointed. There’s no need to waste your energy on getting even or relying solely on your own strength. God will not sit by and allow you to be constantly persecuted and oppressed by the enemy. You only need to be still and allow God to fight your battles. If you enjoy mocking those chosen by God, be aware of the potential consequences of your actions. As a church-going Christian, don’t be in a hurry to malign a true man of God. If for any reason you have touched the anointed, repent and ask God for forgiveness. Today, strive to treat others with kindness, respect, and fairness. Maintain an attitude of worship and praise, and focus on nourishing your faith and connecting to God; the results will flourish in ways you may not always see immediately. Remember, the ‘touch not’ principle applies to both the believers in the church and the unbelievers outside the church’s fold.
O Lord, forgive me in any way I have touched Your anointed with my words, actions, and inaction in Jesus’ Name.
