READ:
HEBREWS 1:6-9
After
choosing David, God instructed Samuel to anoint him. To anoint someone is to
separate him solely for God and to empower such an individual to represent the
Most High. In Acts 13:1-4, God asked specifically that Paul and Barnabas be
separated for the work he had for them. When God sets you apart through his
anointing, it means you are declared untouchable. As long as you are at your
place of assignment, no evil can overpower you, because he is with you to protect
you.
“And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good?” (1 Peter 3:13). God defends his anointing upon his servants. And this is why we must be very careful how we talk about anointed men of God, even when they have deviated.
“He permitted no one to do them wrong; yes he reproved kings for their sakes, saying, ‘Do not touch My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm’” (Psalm 105:14-15).
David understood this fact very well. King Saul had been after his life. David kept running, from place to place. One day, he met Saul and his servants sleeping. He could have killed him, but he refused to lay hands on God’s anointed (1 Samuel 24:2-6). He left God to judge his anointed.
God’s representatives are always empowered by God. When God has chosen you, it behoves you to wait on him for empowerment. Whatever assignment God has given you will best performed through his power. That is why Jesus had to wait for the Holy Spirit to anoint him before he began his ministry (Acts 10:38). However, as one anointed of God, to sustain your privileges, you have to remain holy. Refrain from judging men of God. Rather pray for them and leave them to be judged by the One who appointed them.

1 PETER 3:13 – And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of
what is good?
