*David anointed as king*
M.V: 1 Sam 16:13
Text: 1 Sam 16: 1-5
When King Saul had offended God and God had rejected him, God sent Samuel to go and anoint Jesse's son (David).
While Samuel was still mourning, he obeyed God and went to Jesse's house to search for the King, When he went there, Samuel saw David's brothers and thought they were the anointed ones because he judged based on physique, but after constant guidance from God, Samuel was made to understand that God doesn't pick based appearance.
After David was anointed, he wasn't made king immediately, he was made to serve in the house of King Saul as a form of grooming for the greater service God wanted him to carry out
From the message above, we are made to understand that our choices are different from God choices, and that in every journey we should constantly ask God for directions even if we've been shown the destination.
From David's life, we are made to understand that we need to be prepared for God's service before going embarking on it
And as we heed to the word of God, May God help and guide us in Jesus Name. Amen
