Rejection
So as David stood
there among his brothers, Samuel took the flask of olive oil he had brought and
anointed David with the oil. And the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon David from that day on. Then Samuel
returned to Ramah. 1 Sam 16:13 NLT
Many
times as anointed men and women of God many do not see our gifts and talents.
Over and over again we are discounted and overlooked, and sometimes even
mocked. How many times have you communicated your dreams and goals to someone
and heard “you can’t do that.” Many of us never received the encouragement or
confirmation that God has placed greatness in us. So if you have never heard these
words spoken over your life let me be the first one. “God has placed greatness inside of you,” if you don’t
believe me read his word and it will confirm that you were placed on this earth
for greatness to produce for the glorification of God.
David
understood how it felt to be left and counted as insignificant in the eyes of man. When Samuel came to
Jesse’s house looking for one of his son’s to anoint as king, David’s own
father didn’t even think enough of him to allow him to be included in the
selection. Can you imagine how that made David feel? Shortly after that his
brothers laughed at him when he proclaimed that he would kill Goliath. And even
after displaying how the hand of God was on his life Saul became jealous of
David and tried to kill him. There is a cost to having the anointing of God on
our lives. Never allow others to define what you can do, or who you are, only
God has that authority.
Walk in
your greatness!!!
