Anointing talk about spiritual ability to do something for the Kingdom of God. Anointing is spiritual enablement to carryout task for God.
Isaiah 61: 1-3
- The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
Jesus declare that the spirit of the Lord is upon Him is the source of his anointing for exploit in ministry. God anointed him to preach the good news, set the prisoners free open the eyes of the blind (spiritually and physically), release the oppressed and proclaim the favour of God on all humanity.
