Anointed

1 Samuel 16:1-14 ESV
David Anointed King
1The LORD said to Samuel, “How long will you
grieve over Saul, since I have rejected him from
being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil,
and go. I will send you to Jesse the
Bethlehemite, for I have provided for Myself a
king among his sons.”

http://www.keyway.ca/jpg/jesse.jpg

2 And Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul hears
it, he will kill me.” And the LORD said, “Take a
heifer with you and say, ‘I have come to
sacrifice to the LORD.’

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RtducTiZfeU/UzCWUkJ862I/AAAAAAAAR1M/0ieP_zAjWfw/s1600/SAMUEL+MEETS+JESSE'S+SONS-234.JPG
3 And invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show
you what you shall do. And you shall anoint for
Me him whom I declare to you.”

4 Samuel did what the LORD commanded and
came to Bethlehem.The elders of the city came
to meet him trembling and said, “Do you come
peaceably?” 5 And he said, “Peaceably; I have
come to sacrifice to the LORD. Consecrate
yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice.”
And he consecrated Jesse and his sons and
invited them to the sacrifice.

6When they came, he looked on Eliab and
thought, “Surely the LORD's anointed is before
Him.” 7 But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not
look on his appearance or on the height of his
stature, because I have rejected him. For the
LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the
outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the
heart.”

8Then Jesse called Abinadab and made him
pass before Samuel. And he said, “Neither has
the LORD chosen this one.” 9Then Jesse made
Shammah pass by. And he said, “Neither has
the LORD chosen this one.” 10 And Jesse made
seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And
Samuel said to Jesse, “The LORD has not chosen
these.”

11Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all your sons
here?” And he said, “There remains yet the
youngest, but behold, he is keeping the sheep.”
And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and get him,
for we will not sit down till he comes here.”
12 And he sent and brought him in. Now he was
ruddy and had beautiful eyes and was
handsome.And the LORD said, “Arise, anoint
him, for this is he.”

13Then Samuel took the horn of oil and
anointed him in the midst of his brothers. And
the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon David from
that day forward. And Samuel rose up and went
to Ramah.

14 Now the Spirit of the LORD departed
from Saul, and a harmful spirit from
the LORD tormented him.
1 Samuel 16:1-14 ESV

http://smalbanynewyork.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/take-away.jpg

David is anointed as king—but Saul is still
on the throne.
Jesus is the Christ, or, literally, the
"Anointed One."
Jesus will rule and reign on this planet
someday.

In the meantime, a usurper (Satan) is
on the throne.
Jesus calls the devil the prince of this
world (John 14:30) while Paul calls
him the god of this world (2
Corinthians 4:4).

"If Jesus is King of kings, why is this world
so crazy?Why are there so many
problems?" people ask.
The answer is that, according to God's
perfect plan, Jesus is anointed, but not yet
enthroned.

1 Samuel 16:1a ESV
David Anointed King
1aThe LORD said to Samuel, “How long will
you grieve over Saul, since I have rejected
him from being king over Israel?

In his grief, Samuel must have felt like a
dismal failure as a father, a spiritual leader,
and a mentor to the new king.
“Mourn” means "to mourn for the dead"
and reveals the depths of Samuel's
sorrow.

There is a time to mourn (Ecclesiastes
3:4), but there is also a time to act (Joshua
7:10), and for Samuel, that time had
arrived.
Joshua 7:10
10The LORD said to Joshua, “Get up!Why
have you fallen on your face?

http://www.marysrosaries.com/collaboration/images/b/be/Anointing_of_David_by_Samuel.jpg
In spite of how he felt about himself, Samuel's
work wasn't over yet, for God wanted him to
anoint the new king, David, the son of Jesse.

Psalm 78:70-72 ESV
70 He chose David His servant
and took him from the sheepfolds;
71 from following the nursing ewes He brought
him
to shepherd Jacob his people,
Israel his inheritance.

72 With upright heart he shepherded them
and guided them with his skillful hand.
Psalm 78:70-72 ESV

"Quit your mourning and moaning,
Samuel, there's work to do," God said.
"But I have reason to mourn. My heart is
broken," Samuel could have said.

"I regret it, too, but I've moved on," God
might have answered.
We need to move on.

Yes, there are incidents in our lives that
are hurtful, even regrettable—sad things,
hard times, raw deals; pain, problems, and
disappointments.
But we must move on.

Why?
Because we serve a GodWho is on the
move (Genesis 1:2).

http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa23/holymusic55/InthebeginningGodcreatedtheheavensa.jpg
Genesis 1:1-2 KJV
1 In the beginning God created the heaven
and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and
void; and darkness was upon the face of
the deep. And the Spirit of God moved
upon the face of the waters.
Genesis 1:1-2 KJV

http://www.themusculoskeletalelf.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/time-to-move-300x240.jpg
If I remain in the past problem or the past
disappointment, I will miss the present
move of God.

1 Samuel 16:2a ESV
2a And Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul
hears it, he will kill me.”

https://utmostfocus.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/saul.jpg
So bad had Saul become that Samuel, a
man of God, now feared for his life.

1 Samuel 16:7 ESV
7 But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not
look on his appearance or on the height of
his stature, because I have rejected him.
For the LORD sees not as man sees: man
looks on the outward appearance, but the
LORD looks on the heart.”

Samuel may have looked at their faces
and forms, but the Lord examined their
hearts.
God alone can search the human heart
and know what a person's motives really
are (1 Chronicles 28:9; Hebrews 4:12;
Jeremiah 17:10; Romans 8:27.)

1 Chronicles 28:9 ESV
9 “And you, Solomon my son, know the
God of your father and serve Him with a
whole heart and with a willing mind, for
the LORD searches all hearts and
understands every plan and thought.

Hebrews 4:12-13 ESV
12 For the word of God is living and active,
sharper than any two-edged sword,
piercing to the division of soul and of
spirit, of joints and of marrow, and
discerning the thoughts and intentions of
the heart.

13 And no creature is hidden from his sight,
but all are naked and exposed to the eyes
of him to whom we must give account.
Hebrews 4:12-13 ESV

Jeremiah 17:10 ESV
10 “I the LORD search the heart and test
the mind, to give every man according
to his ways, according to the fruit of
his deeds.”

Romans 8:27 ESV
27 And HeWho searches hearts knows
what is the mind of the Spirit, because
the Spirit intercedes for the saints
according to the will of God.

In this life, we most often judge people by
how they look, behave, dress, talk, or
carry themselves.
But God sees through all of that.

God looks straight at the heart.

1 Samuel 16:11 ESV
11Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all your
sons here?” And he said, “There remains
yet the youngest, but behold, he is
keeping the sheep.” And Samuel said to
Jesse, “Send and get him, for we will not
sit down till he comes here.”

http://www.jesuswalk.com/david/images/bouguereau-david-the-shepherd-1895-210x300x72.jpg
With the sheep—what a great place to
find a shepherd for the nation.

David's occupation—a shepherd (1
Samuel 16:11).
So insignificant was David in the family
that Jesse didn't even call him from the
flock to the feast!

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xcfEGl4Jdn0/T_TJGfYGw0I/AAAAAAAAH6A/YFK41Dr3Nuo/s1600/SaulHidingAmongTheStuffSmetham.jpg
Saul was hiding among the baggage when
Samuel called for him, but David was busy
caring for his father's sheep.

In OldTestament times, kings and their
officers were looked upon as "shepherds"
of the people (see Jer. 23; Ezek. 34), and
David was a man with the heart of a
shepherd (see 2 Samuel 7:8; 1 Chronicles
21:17; Psalm 78:70-72).

God's church today is a flock, and each
spiritual leader needs to have the heart of
a shepherd and lovingly care for God's
lambs and sheep (John 10:1-18; 21:15-19;
1 Peter 5).

You can drive cattle but you have to lead
sheep or they will scatter.
The shepherd must know his sheep
individually, love them, and take care of
them according to their needs.

http://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?&id=OIP.Mc5023bd5a096511d9e612bc053565194o0&w=300&h=213&c=0&pid=1.9&rs=0&p=0&r=0
For the most part, sheep are defenseless
and do not see well, so they depend on
the shepherd to guide and protect them.

John 10:3-4
3To him the gatekeeper opens.The sheep
hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep
by name and leads them out. 4When he
has brought out all his own, he goes
before them, and the sheep follow him,
for they know his voice.

John 8:46b-47 NIV
46b If I am telling the truth, why don’t you
believe Me? 47 Whoever belongs to God
hears what God says.The reason you do
not hear is that you do not belong to God.”
(lost people live like lost people)

John 14:21 NASB
21 He who has My commandments and
keeps them, he it is who loves Me; and he
who loves Me will be loved by My Father,
and I will love him and will disclose Myself
to him.”

John 14:23-24a ESV
23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves
Me, he will keep My word, and My Father
will love him, andWe will come to him and
make our home with him. 24aWhoever
does not love Me does not keep My words.

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Rqb60khpZvA/UFDCA9DKvUI/AAAAAAAAAI0/1aFkaE_JY-A/s1600/Psalm23.lg.jpeg
Though David was a literal shepherd who was
called to be a "national" shepherd, he saw
himself as one of the Lord's sheep and wrote
about it in Psalm 23.

This psalm wasn't the product of a
young man but of a seasoned saint
who looked back at a long life and
confessed that the Lord had been
faithful to him all the days of his life
(Psalm 23:6).

David was exactly the kind of leader
Israel needed to repair all the damage
that Saul had done to the nation.
God calls people who are busy, not
people looking for ways to avoid
responsibility.

Moses (Exodus 3), Gideon (Judges 6),
Elisha (1 Kings 19:19-21), Nehemiah
(Neh. 1), Amos (Amos 7:14-15), Peter,
Andrew, James, and John (Mark 1:16-
20), and Matthew (Matthew 9:9-13)
were all busy when the Lord called
them.

God's pattern for leadership is stated
in Matthew 25:21—"Well done, good
and faithful servant; you were faithful
over a few things, I will make you ruler
over many things. Enter into the joy
of your Lord" (NKJV).

https://kelund.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/well-done.jpg
David had been faithful as a servant over a
few things and God promoted him to
being a ruler over many things—from a
flock to a whole nation!

Unlike Saul, David could be trusted
with exercising authority because he
had been under authority and had
proved himself faithful.

http://telenovelawiki.com/images/6/6a/Leonardo_br%C3%ADcio%2C_actor_brazil_o_rei_davi%2C_king_david%2C_el_rey_david.png
1 Samuel 16:12 ESV
12 And he sent and brought him in. Now he was
ruddy and had beautiful eyes and was
handsome.And the LORD said, “Arise, anoint
him, for this is he.”

David's appearance (1 Samuel 16:12a;
see 17:42).
While the physical appearance wasn't the
most important thing for a king (16:7),
David was so striking in his appearance
that the Lord calls our attention to it.

The word translated "ruddy" is the same
as Esau's nickname "Edom—red" (Genesis
25:24-34).
Some have interpreted this to mean that
David was a redhead, but it may only
mean that, unlike the average Semite, he
was fair of skin & hair.

Saul was different from most Semitic
people of that day because he was
tall, but David's distinctive was that
he was fair rather than swarthy (dark).

Like Joseph, he was handsome (39:6)
and had a winsome personality (1
Sam. 16:18).
He was the kind of person who
attracted people and won and held
their confidence.

David's anointing 1 Samuel 16:12-13.
After looking at Jesse's seven sons,
Samuel at last found the man of God's
choice, a man after God's own heart (1
Samuel 13:14).

It's interesting that David was number
eight, because in Scripture eight is
often the number of a new beginning.
God did use David to bring a new
beginning to Israel, both
governmentally and spiritually.

http://www.newimageoutreach.com/images/prophet-priest-king.jpg
In Scripture, only prophets, priests, and kings
were anointed, and the anointing had to be
performed by a person authorized by the Lord.

In Biblical imagery, oil symbolizes the Holy
Spirit and the endowment of His power
upon His servants (Zechariah 4).
The Hebrew word "Messiah" and the
Greek word "Christ" both mean
"anointed."

The Spirit of God came upon young
David in great power, and ever after
that, David was God's man, but at the
same time, the Spirit of God departed
from Saul (1 Samuel 16:14).

Without the power of the Spirit, the
servant of God is helpless to do the will of
God and glorify Christ.
As we abide in Christ, we receive the
power we need, for Jesus said, "Without
Me you can do nothing" (John 15:5,
NKJV).

http://smalbanynewyork.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/take-away.jpg
In case you missed it the first time, here is.

"If Jesus is King of kings, why is this
world so crazy?Why are there so
many problems?" people ask.
The answer is that, according to God's
perfect plan, Jesus is anointed, but
not yet enthroned.

http://taylormarshall.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/samuel-anointing-david.jpg
1 Samuel 16:13a ESV
13aThen Samuel took the horn of oil and
anointed him in the midst of his brothers.

When Saul was anointed, it was with a
vial of oil (1 Samuel 10:1).
David, on the other hand, was
anointed with a horn of oil, a big flask.
Why?

Because oil in theWord is a symbol of
the Holy Spirit and David is a picture
of the true Anointed One, the
Christos, Jesus,Who would be
anointed with the oil of gladness more
than any of His brethren (Hebrews
1:9).

Hebrews 1:9b ESV
9bYour God, has anointedYou with the oil
of gladness beyondYour companions
(brothers).

http://christiananswers.net/eden/davidandsamuel.jpg
1 Samuel 16:13a ESV
13aThen Samuel took the horn of oil and
anointed him in the midst of his brothers.

Notice that Samuel anoints David in
the midst of his brethren.
How much did David's father and
brothers understand about this
anointing?

In view of David's subsequent
association with King Saul, perhaps
they interpreted the event as a
consecration for David's special
service to the king.

Most likely Samuel privately told David
that he had been chosen by the Lord to be
the next king.
If so, his behavior while serving Saul was
remarkably mature for a young man who
one day would wear the crown.

No doubt it was the assurance of this
future hope that helped to keep David
faithful during the ensuing years of
trial and persecution.

But his trials and testings during those
wilderness years helped to build his
faith and develop his godly character
and prepare him for the ministry that
God had planned for him.

When David and Jonathan became
friends (1 Samuel 18:1) and
covenanted to be faithful to each
other (1 Samuel 18:3; 20:16), it's
certain that David revealed to
Jonathan that he was God's anointed
king.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6pkTQk61MX0/ULcGfE7j6GI/AAAAAAAAnRk/5UtTOzg7KaY/s1600/DavidJonathan.jpg
When David became king, he would make
Jonathan second in command (23:16-18).

It's not likely that Jonathan told his
paranoid father about David or their
covenant, but somehow Saul
discovered that David was his
successor (1 Samuel 20:30-31) and
tried all the more to kill him.

He expected his men to inform him
about David and his whereabouts and
Saul let them know that David was
chosen to be the next king (1 Samuel
22:6-8).

http://www.gci.org/files/David_anointed.jpg
David will eventually be anointed three times.
The first time is here.

The second time is in 2 Samuel 2:4,
when he is anointed over the tribe of
Judah.
The third time is in 2 Samuel 5:3,
when he is anointed as king over all
Israel.

Sometimes a man will think he's
anointed for ministry and his mom
might agree.
A few others might even recognize his
anointing—and he'll wonder why
everyone else doesn't see it.

Most likely it's because it's not God’s time.
There is an unfolding of God's plan for a
man or woman in service or ministry.
You cannot rush it, anointing is recognized
by others in stages.

It doesn't happen quickly.
As it did with David, it comes when
you fight battles on behalf of others,
when you gain victory for others by
caring for them, standing by them,
helping them.

David was an incredible man—a man after
God's own heart, unlike anyone the world
had ever seen—yet it took 12 years before
his anointing was recognized.
Saul was impatient, David, on the other
hand, patiently waited.

http://www.followhisfootprints.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/wait-patiently.jpg
So must we wait patiently.

Isaiah 40:31 ESV
31 but they who wait for the LORD shall
renew their strength; they shall
mount up with wings like eagles; they
shall run and not be weary; they shall
walk and not faint.

1 Samuel 16:13b-14 ESV
13b And the Spirit of the LORD rushed
upon David from that day forward.
And Samuel rose up and went to
Ramah.

14 Now the Spirit of the LORD departed
from Saul, and a harmful spirit from
the LORD tormented him.
1 Samuel 16:13b-14 ESV

How could an evil spirit be sent from the Lord?
Evil spirits and Satan himself can do nothing
without the Lord's permission.
As such, demons actually serve the purpose of
God.
How?

By providing people a choice.
If there were no Satan, people would
have no choice.
Thus, we would never know if our love
for God was genuine.

God says, "If you don't want to love Me, walk
with Me, or believe in Me, you have another
option.You can be deceived by the devil."

If I tell my son, Ben, that I want him to
stay home this afternoon—and then I
lock him in his room, bolt his door,
and board up his windows, it would be
meaningless for me to come home
later and tell him how proud I was of
him for staying put.

Unless there was an open door for
Ben to make a decision, my praise
(Well done) of him would be pointless.
That is why God leaves the door open
and uses Satan as a tool to give
people a choice.

The Plan of Hope & Salvation
John 3:16 ESV
16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son,
that whoever believes in him should not perish but have
eternal life.”
John 14:6 ESV
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the
life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Romans 3:23 ESV
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Romans 6:23a ESV
23a For the wages of sin is death,
• Death in this life (the first death) is 100%.
• Even Jesus, the only one who doesn’t deserve death,
died in this life to pay the penalty for our sins.
• The death referred to in Romans 6:23a is the second
death explained in Revelation 21:8.

Revelation 21:8 ESV
8 “But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as
for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters,
and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns
with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
Romans 6:23b ESV
23b but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our
Lord.

Romans 5:8 ESV
8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still
sinners, Christ died for us.
Revelation 21:7 ESV
7 "The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will
be his God and he will be my son.”
Romans 10:9-10 explains to us how to be conquerors.

Romans 10:9-10 ESV
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is
Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from
the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one
believes and is justified, and with the mouth one
confesses and is saved.
Romans 10:13 ESV
13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be
saved.”
