READ: 1 SAMUEL 16:11-13
God is a God of
abundance. When He wants to release the rain of blessing on anyone, it is
usually in abundance. Rain is a sign of divine favour and approval. According to
Leviticus 26:3-4, God promises to give you rain in due season. Your season will
not pass you by. The anointing is what announces divine favour. God will use
the anointing to demonstrate His favour towards you. In 1 Samuel 16:11-13, when
God was about to announce to the family of Jesse that He had chosen to favour
David, he commanded that David should be brought all the way from the jungle
and be anointed. Imagine, Samuel refused to sit until the young king-elect
arrived. The Lord will bring you out of obscurity and make you a world champion.
Rain has several uses. It is contact with rain that transforms an ordinary seed that has been sown, into one whose potentials begin to spring forth. A seed cannot grow until it tastes water. Rain imparts life to the seed. In the same way, anointing activates who God has destined for greatness. If you have great potentials, then you will require the rain of God’s anointing to transform them from latency into reality.
“And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, that the men of Jabesh Gilead were they that buried Saul” (2 Samuel 2:4)
Even though David had been declared king, he had to wait for the anointing before that declaration would manifest physically. David could not sit on the throne until the second anointing came on his head. Thank God you have been ordained for greatness. Thank God for the seed of greatness in you. But you have not arrived. Without the anointing to translate your potentials into reality, you may remain at the stage of latency. Many who have been destined for greatness died without being great because of no anointing. Go to God and ask Him to release the anointing that will help you fulfil your vision and achieve your destiny. Seek this until you find it. Your life will never be the same afterwards.

MEMORIZE: 1
SAMUEL 16:12 –And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and also of a
beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint
him: for this is he.
