Cullam Anointing Names: Walking in the Secret Place of Your Divine Elevation
Your anointing was chosen before you were qualified — and your elevation will come through separation, silence, and the God who finishes what He starts.
God has already hand-picked, anointed, and positioned you for a destiny that belongs to you alone. The path to that throne is not paved with public announcements or human approval — it is carved out through secrecy, wisdom, and the sovereign hand of a God who creates what no man can control.
Teaching Overview
- God has already chosen and anointed you for a specific destiny, and no human power can override what He has decreed over your life.
- Walking in your anointing requires wisdom and secrecy — premature public disclosure of what God is doing invites attack and can abort the mission.
- Elevation through anointing always comes with rejection and displacement — God engineers the discomfort around you to push you toward your appointed throne.
- God anoints before maturity — He speaks destiny over you when you are not yet what He has called you to be, because He is the One who will raise you up to fit it.
- Separation from those around you is not failure — it is God's mechanism to position you to bring others into what He has built through you.
Key Distinctions
| Condemnation | Grace | Religion | Spiritual | Man's Ability to Subdue | God's Ability to Create | Public Knowledge | Secret Anointing | Appearance | Heart | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | Guilt that paralyzes and prevents God from lifting you | The unearned favour that catches you and returns you to Jesus | Performing outward compliance with rules and expectations | Walking in genuine relationship with God | The God-given capacity to dominate, multiply, and control what already exists | The exclusive divine power to bring into existence what was not there | Broadcasting your progress, calling, and blessings openly | Operating in what God has revealed to you in private, without public disclosure | What man evaluates — stature, presence, and outward qualification | What God evaluates — the inner condition and posture of a person |
| Who controls it | Self — when you carry it, it blocks your elevation | God — He dispenses it independently of what you deserve | Man — religious systems and peer conformity | God — He sets the terms of the relationship | Man — given by God and not revocable | God alone — He never delegated this ability to man | You — by what you say, post, and announce | God — He confides only in those who can keep what He reveals | Those who observe you from the outside | God — He sees beyond what is presented externally |
| The danger of the wrong side | It prevents God from lifting you because you remain in a cycle of unworthiness | Cannot be lost — misunderstanding grace leads to religion, not rebellion | It keeps you conforming to others rather than walking in your unique fingerprint | N/A — spiritual people walk with God, not in performance | Others who have the ability to subdue can fight you, control circumstances around you | N/A — man has no counterfeit to God's creative power | The enemy uses public knowledge to identify where to fight you | N/A — secrecy protects the mission | Someone can miss what God has for them because a more outwardly qualified person showed up | N/A |
| Biblical example | Believers who struggle to receive blessing because they feel unworthy | Grace abounding when you are weak — the trampoline that throws you back to Jesus | Playing fit-in with religious people instead of walking your own fingerprint | Sons of Issachar — understanding the seasons and times | Saul — still anointed with the power to take Samuel's life even after God rejected him | God creating the destiny of man — no one can override it | Announcing your promotion at work before God moves, causing you to be dismissed | Samuel anointing David secretly at the sacrifice — not at David's home or publicly | Eliab — tall, handsome, and appeared to be the Lord's anointed | David — a shepherd boy whom God chose as king |
| The outcome | Stagnation — God cannot lift someone weighed down by condemnation | Freedom and proximity to Jesus — your weakness qualifies you for more grace | Conformity and spiritual blindness | Elevation and divine strategy | Temporary dominance over your circumstances by others | Permanent destiny that no subdueing power can cancel | Alerting the enemy to where and how to attack you | A protected, uncontested promotion that the enemy cannot preempt | Being passed over for what God intended for you | Being chosen and anointed regardless of outward appearance |
The Gospel Is Good News — Including Prosperity
- Holiness does not look like poverty; prosperity is a neighbour of the gospel.
- The Greek word for gospel — euangelion — means "too good to be true news."
- The mission statement of the Lord Jesus, drawn from Isaiah, declares that the anointed will build desolate cities, become wealthy, and men will look at them and say, "Surely this is the priest of the Lord."
"If you knew what the gospel means, you will know that prosperity is the neighbor."
There Is No Condemnation for Those in Christ
- Christ already paid every price so that you are not guilty before God.
- Condemnation on the inside blocks God's ability to lift you up.
- Grace is not a doctrine that enables sin — it is the trampoline that catches you in weakness and throws you back to Jesus.
"Jesus is blessing me not because I did anything, but because He did everything. Jesus is lifting me up, not because I am the best, but because He is a good God and He is the best."
God Did Not Call You to Conform
- God calls every believer to walk in their own fingerprint — unique works that no one else can copy or steal.
- When a baby is born, footprints are taken because the feet represent destiny; fingerprints develop over time and represent the works you will do in this world.
- Playing "fit in" with religious people suppresses the distinct path God has assigned to you.
"Your finger prints represent the works that you will do in this world that nobody else would be able to copy. That nobody will be able to steal from you."
God's Ability to Create Overrides Man's Ability to Subdue
- In Genesis, God gave man dominion to subdue and multiply — but He never gave man the ability to create.
- Because creation belongs to God alone, no person who has power to subdue your circumstances has power to cancel your destiny.
- Saul retained the anointing even after God rejected him — yet God's creative word over David could not be overridden by Saul's dominion.
"It does not matter who has the ability to subdue, who has the ability to control what has been happening in your life. But it is God who has the last word and is the only one who can create a way for you."
Wisdom and Secrecy Are Required in the Season of Elevation
- God instructed Samuel not to go directly to Jesse's house but to call Jesse to the sacrifice — a secret, neutral, anonymous location — so that Saul would not perceive the promotion and act against it.
- Some believers abort the mission of God by being too zealous and not wise — announcing what God is doing before it is established.
- When the spirit of elevation comes, it goes hand in hand with the spirit of wisdom.
"Some of you have aborted the mission of God because you are too zealous and you are not wise."
God Confides Only in Those Who Can Keep Secrets
- A believer who cannot keep what God reveals becomes CNN — broadcasting divine strategy to the enemy.
- When you publicly announce rejection, struggle, or spiritual warfare on social media, you reveal to the enemy where to press and how to intensify the attack.
- Unless you are secretive, God cannot confide in you — just as you would not plant something with someone who announces everything.
"Unless you're secretive, God can never confide in you. You have just told the enemy where to fight you."
God Anoints You Before You Are Qualified
- David was approximately thirteen years old when Samuel anointed him — not yet mature enough to sit on the throne he was chosen for.
- The Lord Jesus was announced as Saviour when He was still a young boy.
- God does not come to you when you are fully matured and grown; He comes when He has already foreseen the future and knows He will raise you up to fit the throne.
"God comes to you not when you are fully matured and grown, but because he has already foreseen the future and he knows that he will raise you up to fit into that throne."
God Looks on the Heart, Not on Appearance
- When Samuel arrived at Jesse's house, he saw Eliab — tall and impressive — and assumed he was the Lord's anointed.
- God corrected Samuel: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.
- Someone can miss what God has for them simply because a more outwardly qualified person showed up — which is why secrecy protects your season.
"Because of this oil, People's eyes will open. They will really see you for who you are."
Rejection and Displacement Are God's Promotion Mechanism
- When Jacob received the anointing of his father, it did not bring peace — it made him an exile.
- God will not give you peace where you are if staying there will prevent you from moving to where He has called you to be.
- God provokes everything around you to fight you and come against you so that you are forced to step out of where you are and into your destiny.
"When God anoints you everything around you will reject you to push you into your destiny."
Doubt From Those Around You Is Evidence the Anointing Is Flowing
- When the Lord Jesus walked among His brothers, they doubted Him because the moment of His anointing involved only His mother and father — His siblings had no witness of it.
- The people who have been around you longest are often the ones who will doubt you most — because they have no frame of reference for what God is doing.
- You cannot bring people into your elevation by staying among them; God is pushing you out so that you can bring them to where He is taking you.
"If you want to know that anointing is flowing, people begin to doubt you. People begin to look at you funny. Some people will not even associate themselves with you."
Allow God to Finish What He Started
- When God speaks something heavy over your life, He speaks it because it will take Him — not you — to make it happen.
- He who started it will make sure He finishes it; you are simply minding your own business when God steps in and declares your elevation.
- Do not resist the process by asking God how — simply allow Him to finish what He began.
"When God comes and speaks something heavy over your life, He speaks it because He will take Him to make it happen."
Key Definitions
Gospel — From the Greek euangelion, meaning "too good to be true news" — the declaration of God's unearned favour that includes prosperity, restoration, and elevation, not merely forgiveness of sin.
Condemnation — An internal sense of guilt and unworthiness that prevents God from lifting a person up; it is incompatible with being in Christ, because Christ already paid every price.
Grace — The unearned, undeserved favour of God that functions like a trampoline — catching you when you fall and throwing you back toward Jesus; it increases when you are weak.
Nebasa (Anointing) — The divine marking placed on a person by God that designates them for a specific throne, territory, and assignment — set before they are mature enough to occupy it.
Secrecy — The discipline of withholding from public disclosure what God has revealed and is doing in private; the condition under which God confides strategy, elevation, and destiny to a believer.
Fingerprint — The unique works God has assigned to a specific individual that no other person can copy, replicate, or steal — distinct from destiny (footprints), which represents where you are going.
Key Takeaways
- God has already chosen and anointed you — no human power can override His creative decree. Man has authority to subdue, but only God can create destiny, and that destiny belongs to you alone.
- Wisdom and secrecy are not optional in your season of elevation — they are the protection of your promotion. What you announce publicly you hand over to the enemy as a target.
- Rejection, displacement, and doubt from those around you are signs that the anointing is flowing. God engineers the discomfort of your current environment to push you toward your appointed place.
- God anoints you before you look qualified, because He — not you — is the One who will raise you up to fit the throne. Your current position is not your final destination.
- Allow God to finish what He started — it takes Him, not you, to make it happen. Your role is to walk in silence, trust, and obedience while He completes the work.
Reflection Questions
- In what areas of your life have you been broadcasting what God is doing — and what would change if you became completely silent about those things until God made them visible Himself?
- Where have you sought the acceptance or approval of people who were never meant to be part of your elevation — and what has that cost you in your walk with God?
- When you experience rejection, displacement, or doubt from those around you, do you interpret it as failure or as evidence of God's anointing moving in your life?
- Is there a word God has spoken over your life that you have stopped believing because too much time has passed and you do not yet look like what He said — and what would it mean to fully release it back to Him to finish?
- What specific area of your life requires you to stop being zealous without wisdom — and what is one practical step toward operating in secrecy and trust this week?
Prayers and Declarations
"I received that you step in territories that was only designed for you. I receive that you touch things that nobody else will be able to take from you. I receive in the mighty name of Jesus."
Repeat after me:
"Nobody shall control me. Nobody shall control me. Nobody can stop what God has begun with me. Nobody can stop what God has begun with me."
"May you receive the ability. In the name of Jesus, receive the Spirit of wisdom. I receive the spirit of discernment. I receive in Jesus mighty name."
"From today, as God orders your footsteps, may you walk in silence, may you become secretive from this day. I receive it in the name of Jesus."
"I decree and declare over everybody that is listening to my voice. from this day in the name of Jesus. That it is God that will lift you up to fit you on the throne that you are supposed to sit on. You will not sit on it because of any man but because of God who has anointed you. Somebody shout I receive it."
"When I pray for you today, there will be a change in your home. There will be a transformation in your home. Those things that God is going to revive them in your house. And there shall be peace in your house again. Says the spirit of the living God."
Touch your nebasa and say:
"Allow God to finish it. Allow God to finish it."
Say this:
"I am stepping out. I am stepping out."
