Promise #240:
I will anoint you with oil so your cup overflows.
Psalm 23:5 (WEB)
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.
In today's Scripture reference, King David declares that the Lord not only prepares a banquet for him in the presence of his enemies, but God also anoints his head with oil so his cup overflows. What a picture of abundance. Right in the midst of his enemies, David says that there are overflowing blessings.
I believe that the anointing God wants to pour out over our lives today will cause us to live a life of fullness, and others will benefit from the spillover of God's anointing in our lives. In many Christian circles, the focus is on what we can do for God—how hard we can work and how we can demonstrate our love for Him.
While all these things can be good in themselves, we are missing the point if we do them to earn His love somehow. In 1 John 4:19, the Apostle John says, "We love because He first loved us.” God initiates, and we receive. I believe that the key to living a life from a full cup is coming to the place where we learn to be good receivers from God.
The more love we can receive from Him, the more love will overflow in our lives. The more anointing He pours in us, the more it can be spilled to others. My prayer today is that we would all learn to become better receivers of the goodness and graciousness of our God and Father so that we might live our lives from a full cup that is continually overflowing.

Responsive Prayer:
Father, I thank You for Your abundant, generous heart that continually fills me to overflowing with every good and perfect gift that comes from Your hand. Help me to stay aware of this ongoing infilling, even in the presence of those who might oppose me, and may that same overflowing splash onto them so they too may experience Your goodness.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.

Promise #241:
You can celebrate because your name is written in heaven.
Luke 10:20 (WEB)
Nevertheless, don’t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you,
but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
In this Scripture passage, Jesus tells His disciples not to rejoice because the demons submit to their authority but rather rejoice because their names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life. I believe the core of what Jesus is saying in this passage is simply this: relationship supersedes authority.
Though signs may follow us wherever we go on this side of heaven, this demonstration of God's authority is because we belong to Him. The fact that our names are written in heaven means that we will live with God Himself for all eternity, which is cause for lots of celebrating!
Though we may walk in God's miraculous power, let us never forget the very essence of why God saved us. He didn't save us to be good workers but to be His sons and daughters. In Matthew 7:22-24, Jesus warns that there will be some people who have walked in miraculous signs and wonders but never knew Him. To 'know' Jesus means to be intimate with Him, and that is the very reason why we were saved.
In John 17:3, Jesus prays to His Father these words... This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ. (WEB) The very definition of eternal life is being intimate with both God the Father and God the Son.
So, no matter what amazing works God has you do today, do not rejoice because of the works themselves but because your name is written in the halls of heaven, where you will live with God forever!

Responsive Prayer:
Father, I thank You that my name is written in heaven forever. I pray that this eternal privilege will overshadow any hardships I might face here on earth. For being Your beloved child exceeds any of my kingdom achievements here on earth because what matters is that I am Your much-loved, little child, and that is an honor that will last forever.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
