1 Samuel 16:12-13 (ESV)
…And the Lord said, “Arise, anoint him, for this is he.” 13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers. And the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon David from that day forward…”
The Calling of God will never be REALIZED in your life until you come into AGREEMENT with it.
1 Samuel 18:17-19 (NIV)
“Saul said to David, “Here is my older daughter Merab. I will give her to you in marriage; only serve me bravely and fight the battles of the Lord.” …18 But David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my family or my clan in Israel, that I should become the king’s son-in-law?” 19 So when the time came for Merab, Saul’s daughter, to be given to David, she was given in marriage to Adriel of Meholah.”
PRIDE is thinking you know more than God.
Your low self-esteem will BLOCK God from BLESSING you and HINDER Him from PROMOTING you.
What David’s FAITH could OBTAIN…his IDENTITY could not CONTAIN.
2 Samuel 5:11-12 (NIV
“Now Hiram king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs and carpenters and stonemasons, and they built a palace for David. 12 Then David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel and had exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.”
Your calling is for the sake of other people.
