Doing the Work of a Donkey by Rodney Howard Browne

Pastor Rodney Howard Browne explains to us that

when the anointing is not there, you go one more

time around the mill. Your life becomes a grind and you

are doing the work of a donkey. It becomes repetitious.

There’s no excitement, no joy, no strength. “I’m going

round and round and round. I can’t see like I used to. I

don’t have freedom like I used to.”

to mock at you and they’re mocking at the Church

right now. They’re mocking at the house of God. They

mock at men and women of God.

Anoint Me One More Time

Now the Philistines were having a feast. The

world is having a feast right now. But at their time of

reveling, at their time of feasting, will come their time of

greatest defeat.

Guess what the Philistines did? They held a feast

and said, “Bring this bald, blind man here. Let’s mock

him.”

And in that moment of weakness, Samson

remembered what was once upon his life and he prayed a

prayer that would ultimately fulfill his ministry. But what

a terrible way to fulfill your ministry. As he bowed

himself there in that pagan temple, he pulled down its

pillars. The whole place came down. In his death, he

killed more than he did in his life.

Samson ultimately fulfilled his ministry. The

anointing came back to him. But what a terrible way to

find the ultimate fulfillment of God’s call on your life.

Let’s fulfill it with our eyes. Let’s keep our hair on. And

let’s not put ourselves in the place of compromise.

Your “Delilah” could be your friends. Maybe you

hang around with ungodly friends. Your “Delilah” could

be something else. For everyone it is different. You must

locate it and deal with it in your life before it kills you.

Never let the devil steal the anointing from you. Do

whatever it takes to keep the touch of God upon your life.

Exodus 13 by Rodney Howard Browne

¹And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

   ²Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.

   ³And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.

   ⁴This day came ye out in the month Abib.

   ⁵And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.

   ⁶Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.

   ⁷Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.

   ⁸And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.

   ⁹And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD’s law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.

   ¹⁰Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.

   ¹¹And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,

   ¹²That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be the LORD’s.

   ¹³And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.

   ¹⁴And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:

   ¹⁵And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.

   ¹⁶And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.

   ¹⁷And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:

   ¹⁸But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.

   ¹⁹And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.

   ²⁰And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.

   ²¹And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:

   ²²He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
