Greetings to you in The Ever Powerful and Unfailing Name of The King of all kings....Jesus Christ!!!! Oh yeah *air punch* Man I love church!
I hope you are doing very well on your side of the world.
Today we take a look at a pivotal aspect of walking with God in this day and age. In the TPOP Series we learned a lot about the beginning stages of finding one's purpose in God and hearing His Voice. If need be, please go back in the blog and read them again.
(By the way, a friend of mine suggested that I should take these posts and turn them into a book for easy reference if one hasn't got an internet connection...what do you think? Leave me a comment and advise if you don't mind)
Now we have come to a point where we have begun to hear God's Voice about our purpose and we are trying to work out what to do next...yes? Well asking Him what to do is most advisable and if we are sensitive enough, we will hear Him.
Sometimes however, we have a natural tendency of going ahead of Him. Let's take the case of David in 1 Samuel chapter 16.
King Saul had messed up in previous chapters by not completely obeying The Word of The Lord and as a result, lost his place, as per God, on the throne. Prophet Samuel was heart broken and mourned for his king.
God came through and was like, "Why are you tearing up about someone I have rejected? Hey man, I have another plan so stop all that crying and let's go anoint us another king." (That's my own interpretation...lol)
He got up and went to the house of Jesse out in Bethlehem and basically David was anointed king of Israel. We will be getting into the matter of David and his brothers in terms of God's choice vs what man would rather choose, but for the purpose of this post, I want us to understand that when God chooses us, He has a plan. This plan is not only about getting us to that intended destination, but also for the training that must occur before it.
He was anointed king, but he didn't immediately go to the palace to take his place did he? Check it out, read the whole 16th chapter.
Ready?
When God chooses us, He does so intending, not only to get us to this destination, but also to train us or build us in order for us to build where we are called to. Most children of God can misunderstand this, get frustrated with no clarity on the matter and ultimately give up on the whole thing.
Coming next...
