”But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.“
1 Samuel 13:14 KJV
”That was a fool thing to do,” Samuel said to Saul. “If you had kept the appointment that your God commanded, by now God would have set a firm and lasting foundation under your kingly rule over Israel. As it is, your kingly rule is already falling to pieces. God is out looking for your replacement right now. This time He’ll do the choosing. When He finds him, He’ll appoint him leader of His people. And all because you didn’t keep your appointment with God!” Being stubborn and rejecting the Word of God to do his own thing when God had anointed Saul, had terrible consequences. In the new covenant, Christ the Anointed One said, ”The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” Through the Cross, Christ lives in us and has anointed us with His anointing, to accomplish everything He said, in His Name, so that the world will see Christ in us. Amen!
