“I have found David my servant; with my sacred oil I have anointed him.
Psalm 89:20
‘Anoint’ is defined as: to pour or rub oil or ointment on; to put oil on in a ceremony of making sacred or consecrating to a high office. In the bible we find examples of priests, prophets and kings anointed and set apart for service.
When God wants to do something in the earth, He does not simply snap His fingers – as it were – to accomplish it, but He anoints a person or a people to do His work.
There is a “setting apart” or an anointing for these last days fore those who will surrender their lives to the purposes of God.
Some would speak of, or treat, the anointing of God as a right bestowed on every believer.
That just doesn’t seem to be borne out in scripture.
“For many are invited, but few are chosen” are some words that Jesus uses in the parable of the Wedding banquet which might equally apply as it relates to the anointing of God.
God chooses, God selects who He will anoint for a task.
Does that mean that God is a respecter of persons?
Does that mean that God has favorites?
Not at all!
It does mean that while we may be looking at a mans’
outward appearance; God sees the mans’ heart.
Can you walk in the anointing of God without taking the credit and the glory for what is accomplished?
Can you give to God what belongs to God alone?
Before you answer, let me suggest that God can answer that question better than you can.
That is why it may appear He is picking and choosing when in fact He is simply recognizing the vessels able to carry that anointing.
Do you want to walk in Gods’ anointing?
Walk humbly before Him with a life surrendered to His purposes!
He anointed David – His servant.
